The beeping:
❒increases as the distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between the
car and the obstacle is less than around 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried; if this situation oc-
curs for the side sensors, the beeping will stop after
about 3 seconds to avoid, for example, warning indica-
tions in the event of manoeuvres alongside walls.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
See “Warning lights and messages” section.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically deactivated
when the trailer electric plug is inserted in the car tow
hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again when the trail-
er cable plug is removed.
When using special washing equipment such as high pres-
sure jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors very quick-
ly keeping the jet more than 10 cm away.KNOWING

CONTENTS
The driver always has ultimate responsi-
bility for parking and other dangerous ma-
noeuvres. When parking, make sure that no-one
is standing in the area, especially children or an-
imals. The parking sensors are designed to assist
drivers: in all cases, you must always pay the ut-
most attention during potentially dangerous ma-
noeuvres, even when carried out at low speed.
WARNING
The sensor must be clean of mud, dirt, snow
or ice in order for the system to work. Be
careful not to scratch or damage the sen-
sors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or
hard cloths. The sensors should be washed with
clean water, possibly with some car shampoo.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, watch out for obstacles that may be
above or under the sensors.
❒Sometimes, objects placed close to the car are not de-
tected and could therefore cause damage to the car or
be damaged themselves.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by dirt,
snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ultrasound
systems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic ham-
mers) near the car.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electrical supply
(sound system, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or ones that
drain the battery, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose quali-
fied personnel, besides suggesting the most suitable de-
vices from Lineaccessori Fiat, will also check whether the
vehicle’s electrics are able to withstand the load required,
or whether they need to be integrated with a more pow-
erful battery.
Take care when fitting additional spoilers,
alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs:
they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes
and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated brak-
ing or on long descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedals (mats, etc.)
WARNING
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
car in the context of after-sales service must carry the fol-
lowing label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving
devices provided that they are installed by a specialised
centre according to rules of good engineering practice in
compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on the
road if devices have been installed which modify the features
of the car. This may also cause invalidation of warranty in
relation to faults caused by the change or either directly
or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by
the installation of accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed in com-
pliance with the provided instructions.
RADIOTRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB
radios, amateur radio etc.) shall not be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the pas-
senger compartment (without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle electrical systems to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers’ health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.
As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is con-
cerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the instructions for
use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.
