DRIVING ADVISOR
(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
82) 79) 80)
The Driving Advisor is a warning
system that notifies the driver
if he/she crosses the lane because
he/she has been distracted.
A video sensor, fitted on the
windscreen near the interior rear
view mirror, detects the lane
demarcation lines and the position
of the car in relation to them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving
Advisor, it is advisable to contact
a Fiat Dealership should the
windscreen need to be replaced. If
the repair is carried out at a
specialist window replacement
centre, it is still necessary to go to a
Fiat Dealership to have the camera
calibrated.OPERATION
The system is always active when
the vehicle is started. It can be
deactivated or re-activated by
pressing button A fig. 128 on the
dashboard (see following
description).
The LED on the button switches on
to confirm that the system has
been activated and a dedicated
message appears on the display.
When the system is activated,
the LED on the dedicated button is
off. If the user deactivates the
system, the LED on the button
switches on constantly and a
dedicated message appears on the
display to confirm that the system
has been switched off.The system is enabled at every key
cycle of the vehicle and starts
recognition of the operating
conditions (condition signalled to
the driver when the 2 direction
warning lights
andon the
instrument panel light up).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes
active, i.e. it can assist the driver
with visual and acoustic warnings.
Therefore the two direction warning
lights
andon the instrument
panel switch off to prevent
excessively frequent warnings while
driving in towns or on winding
roads at low speeds.
IMPORTANT If the operating
conditions are no longer present,
the system remains activated
but inactive. Therefore the driver is
warned by the 2 direction warning
lights
andon the instrument
panel switching on constantly.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Driving Advisor cannot operate
due to a not perfectly balanced
and excessive load.
The operation of the system can be
adversely affected in some cases
by the morphology of the
territory/road being driven on (e.g.
driving over humps), poor visibility
conditions (e.g. fog, rain, snow),
extreme light conditions (e.g. glare
of the sun, darkness), lack of
cleanliness or damage, even partial,
to the windscreen in the area in
front of the camera.
The Driving Advisor cannot operate
following a malfunction of the
following safety systems: ABS, ESP,
ASR and Traction Plus.
The operation of the system can be
adversely affected by poor visibility
conditions (e.g. fog, rain, snow),
extreme light conditions (glare
of the sun, darkness), lack of
cleaning or damage, even partial, to
the windscreen in the area in front
the camera.The area of the windscreen by the
camera must not be partly or totally
obscured by objects (e.g. stickers,
protective film, etc.).
WARNING
78) If the camera loses its position
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
79) The Driving Advisor is not an
automatic driving system and
does not replace the driver in
controlling the trajectory of the
car. The driver is personally
responsible for maintaining a
sufficient level of attention to the
traffic and road conditions and
for controlling the trajectory of the
car safely.
80) In the case of indistinct,
overlapping or missing lane
demarcation lines, the system
may not assist the driver: in this
case the Driving Advisor will be
inactive.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberDRIVING ADVISOR
The two warning lights on indicate that the system
has started recognising the operating conditions.
When the system recognises the operating
conditions, it becomes active, i.e. it can assist the
driver with visual and acoustic warnings. Therefore,
the warning lights switch off.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no
longer present, the system is engaged but inactive,
and therefore the two warning lights on the panel
switch on.
When the system is active, if the vehicle gets close
to one of the side limit lines or one of the two
demarcation lines of the lane, the driver is warned
with an acoustic signal along with the direction
warning light (right or left) on the panel lighting up.
The system failure is indicated by the two direction
warning lights
andlighting up on the panel,
along with an acoustic signal and a dedicated
message.
