key FIAT 500X 2016 2.G Workshop Manual

•Changing the Brake Control status to “Off” deactivates
the system, so no warning or active braking will be
available in case of a possible collision
• Changing the Brake Control status to “Only warning”
prevents the system from providing limited active
braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not
braking adequately in the event of a potential frontal
collision, but maintains the audible and visual warn-
ings.
Changing the status of the system is only possible with
the vehicle at a complete stop.
NOTE: The Brake Control system state is not kept in
memory from one key cycle to the next. If the system is
turned OFF, it will turn On when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing Brake Control Sensitivity
By changing the settings on the menu of the Uconnect
system, you can change the sensitivity of the system by choosing one of the following three options:
Near,
Medium orFar. Refer to “Multimedia” for further
information.
The default option is Medium. This setting provides
that the system notify the driver of a possible accident
with the vehicle ahead of it when the latter is at a
standard distance, intermediate between the other two
possible settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to Far, the
system will warn the driver of a possible accident with
the vehicle in front when the latter is at a greater distance,
giving you the chance to act on the brakes in a more
limited and gradual. This setting gives the driver the
maximum possible time of reaction to prevent a possible
accident.
By changing the option to Near, the system will warn
the driver of a possible accident with the vehicle ahead of
it when the latter is a reduced distance. This setting offers
310 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!
After turning off the ignition, the ParkSense remains
in this setting until the next key cycle, even in the
case of changing the setting of starting MAR/RUN to
STOP/OFF and then again in MAR/RUN.
Service The Rear Park Assist System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense Rear Park
Assist System has detected a faulted condition, the
instrument cluster will actuate a single chime, once per
ignition cycle, and it will display the “PARK ASSIST
UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS” or the “PARK
ASSIST UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”
in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Cluster” for fur-
ther information. When the shift lever is moved toREVERSE and the system has detected a faulted condi-
tion, the EVIC will display the
PARK ASSIST UNAVAIL-
ABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS orPARKSENSE UN-
AVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED message for as long
as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition, Rear
Park Assist will not operate.
If “PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SEN-
SORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) make sure the outer surface and the
underside of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstructions and then cycle
the ignition. If the message continues to appear, see an
authorized dealer.
If “PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE SERVICE RE-
QUIRED” appears in the EVIC, see an authorized dealer.

the “Service Tire Pressure Monitoring System” text mes-
sage will display. If the ignition key is cycled, this
sequence will repeat providing the system fault still
exists. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. A
system fault can occur with any of the following sce-
narios:
•Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the
TPM sensors.
• Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting
that affects radio wave signals.
• Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors. NOTE:
Your vehicle may be equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
• The compact spare tire does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not moni-
tor the tire pressure in the compact spare tire.
• If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road
tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warn-
ing limit, upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime will
sound and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
will still turn ON due to the low tire.
• However, after driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on solid.
334 STARTING AND OPERATING

•This occurs for each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound and the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on solid.
• Once you repair or replace the original road tire and
reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare
tire, the TPMS will update automatically and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn OFF, as
long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure
warning limit in any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.
