PARKING SENSORS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors provide the driver with information
on the distance when approaching obstacles behind
the vehicle (versions with 4 rear sensors) or in
front of and behind the vehicle (versions with 4 front
and 4 rear sensors).
The system therefore provides a further aid during
parking manoeuvres because it allows the
identification of obstacles outside of the driver's field
of vision.
The driver is notified of the presence and distance of
the obstacle from the vehicle by an acoustic signal
which varies depending on the distance from the
obstacle (as the distance from the obstacle decreases
the frequency of the acoustic signal increases).
SENSORS
In order to measure the distance of obstacles, the
system uses 4 sensors located in the front bumper
(for versions/markets, where provided) fig. 94 and
4 sensors located in the rear bumper fig. 95.
Version with 4 sensors
On the version with 4 rear sensors, the system is
activated automatically when the reverse gear is
engaged.Version with 8 sensors
On the version with 4 front sensors and 4 rear
sensors, the system is activated when reverse gear is
engaged or by pressing button
fig. 96.

When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around 15
km/h is exceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre to
be completed.
The system can also be activated by pressing the
button
fig. 96 in the central panel: a warning light
in the button comes on when the system is
activated.
Every time the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON
the LED on the button
flashes briefly to indicate
that the system is running a diagnosis. The LED
activation should not be understood as a fault.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button
again
fig. 96 or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the warning light in the button is off when
the system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts to
produce acoustic signals from the front or rearbuzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected with the
frequency increasing as the obstacle gets closer.
When the obstacle is less than about 30 cm away,
the sound becomes continuous. Depending on
the position of the obstacle (in front or behind) the
sound is produced by the corresponding buzzers
(front or rear). The obstacle closest to the vehicle is
signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the distance
of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle remains
constant if the distance measured by the centre
sensors remains unchanged, while if this situation
occurs for the side sensors, the signal is interrupted
after about 3 seconds (for example, to prevent
signals in the case of manoeuvres alongside walls).
WARNING
Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres however are always the
driver ’s responsibility.When making these
manoeuvres, always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are present
in your manoeuvring space.The parking sensors
are designed to assist drivers: in any case, you
must always pay the utmost attention during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even when
carried out at low speed.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the presence and
distance of an obstacle from the vehicle is
transmitted by means of acoustic signals from
buzzers installed in the passenger compartment:
❒in the versions with 4 rear sensors, a buzzer in the
front dashboard area warns of the presence of rear
obstacles;
❒in the versions with 8 sensors (4 front and 4 rear
sensors), a front buzzer warns of the presence of
obstacles at the front and a buzzer located at
the rear warns of the presence of obstacles at the
rear. This notifies the driver of the direction
(front/rear) of the obstacles.
When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent
acoustic signal is automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and the
obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒remains constant if the distance remains
unchanged; if this situation concerns the side
sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3 seconds
to avoid, for example, warning indications in the
event of manoeuvres along walls.
WARNING
For correct operation, sensors must
always be clean from mud, dirt , snow or
ice. Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths.The sensors should be
washed using clean water with the addition of
car shampoo if necessary. In washing stations,
clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour
jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.
WARNING
Only have the bumpers repainted or any
retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Fiat Dealership.
Incorrect paint application could affect the
operation of the parking sensors.

SENSOR OPERATING RANGE
The sensors allow the system to check the front part
(version with 8 sensors) and rear part of the vehicle.
Their position covers the middle and side areas of
the front and rear of the vehicle.
If an obstacle is located in a middle area, it is
detected when the distance is less than about 0.9 m
(front) and 1.40 m (rear).
If the obstacle is located at the side, it is detected at
distances of less than 0.6 m.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric cable plug is
inserted in the car's tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again when
the trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted when there is no trailer, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system updated
because the tow hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the central sensors.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failures in the parking sensor system are
signalled, when reverse gear is engaged, by the
warning light
in the instrument panel lighting up
or by the symbol
together with a message in the
display (see "Warning lights and messages" chapter).
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost
attention to any obstacles that could be located
above or below the sensors.
Under certain circumstances close objects located in
front of or behind the car may not be detected and
could therefore cause damage to the car or be
damaged themselves.
The following conditions may influence the
performance of the parking sensor system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the
parking assistance system performance could be
due to the presence on the surface of the sensor
of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint.
❒The sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the car, in
rain (strong wind), hail.
❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near
the vehicle.

❒The performance of the parking assistance system
may also be affected by the position of the
sensors. For example, if the geometry is altered
(as a result of wear of the shock absorbers,
suspension), the tyres are changed, the vehicle is
too heavily laden or specific tuning is carried
out that lowers the vehicle.
❒The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact with
the car in the bottom part.
AT THE FILLING STATIONMOTORI DIESEL - Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the current
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container. Pour the additive into the tank before the
diesel fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel
using locally available diesel. In this case, it is also
advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTS
The seat belt should be worn keeping the torso
straight and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 98
and insert it into the buckle B, until it clicks into
place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let it rewind for
a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belt, press button C. Guide
the seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.Through the retractor, the seat belt automatically
adapts to the body of the occupant wearing it,
allowing freedom of movement.
The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or
in the event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel for the side seats and
the middle one.
Wear the rear seat belts as shown in fig. 99.

IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly secured when
the red band B fig. 100 to the side of backrest
folding handle A disappears. This red band indicates
that the backrest is not secured.
IMPORTANT Remember that after a violent impact,
rear-seat passengers who are not wearing their
seat belts not only expose themselves to significant
risk of injury, but also represent a danger to
passengers occupying the front seats.
IMPORTANT When putting the rear seat back in its
normal position, make sure that the seat belts are
positioned so that they are ready to use.
WARNING
Make sure that the backrest is correctly
secured on both sides (red bands B
fig. 100 not visible) to prevent it from moving
forward in the event of sharp braking, causing
injuries to passengers.
ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT BELT
HEIGHT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Four different adjustments in height are possible.
To adjust, press button A fig. 101 and raise or lower

SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE
Observe the following precautions for correct seat
belt maintenance:
❒always use the seat belt with the strap well
stretched and not twisted; make sure that it is free
to run without obstructions;
❒check seat belt operation as follows: attach the
seat belt and pull it hard;
❒replace the belt after an accident of a certain
severity even if it does not appear to be damaged.
Always replace the seat belt if the pretensioners
were deployed;
❒to clean the seat belts, wash by hand with water
and neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the
shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach, paints
or any other substance which could damage the
belt fibres;
❒prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct
operation is only guaranteed if water does not
get inside;
❒replace the seat belt when it shows wear or cuts.
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of an impact, all
occupants must be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems, including newborn and other
children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child's head is larger and
heavier in proportion to his/her body and the child's
muscular and bone structures are not fully
developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are necessary to reduce
as much as possible the risk of injuries in the event
of an accident, braking or a sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and comfortably. As
far as the characteristics of the child restraint
systems used allow, you are advised to keep children
in rear facing restraint systems for as long as possible
(at least until 3–4 years old), since this is the most
protected position in the event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child restraint device
depends on the weight of the child; there are
various types of child restraint systems and you are
advised always to choose the one that is most
suitable for the child.

When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view
of restraint systems, children are considered as
adults and wear seat belts normally.
In Europe the characteristics of children restraint
systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing
them into five weight groups:Group Weight groups
Group 0 up to 10 kg of weight
Group 0+ up to 13 kg of weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg of weightAll child restraint devices must bear the certification
data, together with the control mark, on a label
solidly fixed to the seat which must never be
removed.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint systems for
each weight group. These devices are recommended
having been specifically designed for Fiat cars.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER.When an active
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child restraint systems
on the front seat . Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the child regardless of the severity of the
impact . It is advisable to always carr y children
in a child restraint system on the rear seat ,
which is the most protected position in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that
it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rear facing child restraint system is fitted.
Always comply with the instructions on the
passenger's side sun visor (see the "Front
airbag" paragraph).
WARNING
Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
