PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 127and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind
the vehicle decreases, the acoustic alarm
becomes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the dis-
tance between the vehicle and the ob-
stacle is less than 30 cm and stops im-
mediately if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example,
warning indications in the event of
manoeuvres along walls.
Detection distances
Central action radius 140 cm ±10 cm
Side action radius 60 cm ±20 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures, if any, will be in-
dicated when engaging reverse by the
turning on of the instrument panel warn-
ing light
ttogether with the message on
the multifunction display, where provided
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
fig. 127F0N0119m
For proper operation, the
parking sensors shall always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sen-
sors, take the utmost care to prevent
their damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be
washed with clean water and vehicle
detergent, if required.
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated au-
tomatically when the trailer electric cable
plug is fitted into the vehicle tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the
tow-hook fitted permanently without
towing a trailer, it is important to ask your
Fiat Dealership to update the System be-
cause the tow hook could be detected as
an obstacle by the central sensors.
In washing stations, clean sensors quickly
keeping the vapour jet/high pressure
washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the
sensors.

SOUND SYSTEM
(where provided)
For sound system operation refer to the
Supplement attached to the Owner Hand-
book.
SOUND SYSTEM PRESETTING
(where provided)
The system consists of:
❒sound system power wires
❒front speaker connecting wires
❒aerial power wire
❒2 tweeters Aon front posts (30W
max power each);
❒2 mid-woofers Bon front doors
(165 mm diameter, 40W max
power each);
❒radio aerial wire.

Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care
to obstacles that may be set above or
under the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the vehicle, un-
der certain circumstances are not de-
tected and could therefore cause
damages to the vehicle or be dam-
aged.
Below are listed some conditions that
could affect the parking system perfor-
mance:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity or re-
duced parking system performance
could be due to the presence on the
sensor surface of: ice, snow, mud,
multiple painting.
❒The sensor detects a non-existent ob-
ject (“echo disturbances”) caused by
disturbances of mechanical nature,
e.g.: vehicle washing, rain (extreme
wind conditions), hail.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can al-
so be altered by ultrasound systems
(e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-
matic hammers) set nearby the vehi-
cle.
❒Parking system performance could al-
so be affected by sensor position. For
instance, when trimming is changed
(due to wear of shock absorbers, sus-
pensions) or when changing tyres,
loading excessively the vehicle, car-
rying out specific tuning for lowering
the vehicle.
❒Obstacle detection at the top of the
vehicle (specially for vans or chassis
cabs) could not be guaranteed since
the system detects obstacles that can
strike the bottom of the vehicle.
