PARKING SENSORS (where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper to detect and inform the
driver (through an intermittent acoustic signal) about the presence of
obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
Sensors will activate automatically when engaging reverse gear.
The frequency of the acoustic alarm will increase as the distance between
the car and the obstacle decreases.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated (short beep to signal system activation).
The acoustic signal frequency:
❒increases with the reduction of distance between the car and the
obstacle;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried.
Detection distances:
Centre action range 150 cm
Corner action range 60 cm
Min/max range 25/180 cm
If several sensors signal an obstacle, the control unit checks and indicates
the closest one.

FAILURE WARNINGS
In case of parking sensor failure, the driver is warned
by a 3-seconds acoustic signal.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated automatically
when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car
tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated automatically when removing
the trailer cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles set
above or under the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the car front or rear part,
under certain circumstances are not detected and
could therefore cause damages to the car or be
damaged.
❒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 hammers) set nearby the car.
For proper operation, the parking sensors shall be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. When cleaning
the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use therefore dry or rough
clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if required. In washing
stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.
WARNINGParking manoeuvres however are always under the driver’s responsibility which
shall always check the absence of people (specially children) or animals in the
manoeuvre space. This system is just a help for the driver but she/he shall never
reduce attention during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed.

The towing device should be fastened to the body by
specialised personnel according to any additional
and/or integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
Have installation carried out at Fiat Dealership.
The towing device must meet current regulations with
reference to 94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used must match
the towable weight of the car on which it is to be
installed.
For the electric connection a unified connector should
be used which is generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall be installed
on the car.
When fitting the trailer, parking sensors are
deactivated.For the electrical connection, a 7 pin 12VDC
connection is to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions provided by the car
manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross section of no less
than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be
used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the car’s electric
system can only be connected to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W.
For connections, use the preset control unit with
battery cable no less than 2.5 mm
2.
The two hitches are shown on the following pages.
