GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Note:
When DSC is on and you attempt
to free the vehicle when it is stuck, or
drive it out of freshly fallen snow, the
TCS (part of the DSC system) will
activate. Depressing the accelerator
will not increase engine power and
freeing the vehicle may be difficult.
When this happens, turn off the
TCS/DSC.
If the TCS/DSC is off when the
engine is turned off, it automatically
activates when the ignition is placed in
the ON mode. Warning!Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. DSC cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. DSC also cannot
prevent accidents resulting from loss of
vehicle control due to inappropriate driver
input for the conditions. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents. The capabilities of an DSC
equipped vehicle must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner which
could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others.
Vehicle modifications, or failure to
properly maintain your vehicle, may change
the handling characteristics of your vehicle,
and may negatively affect the performance
of the DSC system. Changes to the
steering system, suspension, braking
system, tire type and size or wheel size
may adversely affect DSC performance.
Improperly inflated and unevenly worn tires
may also degrade DSC performance. Any
vehicle modification or poor vehicle
maintenance that reduces the effectiveness
of the DSC system can increase the risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) System
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system is designed to assist the driver
during lane changes by alerting the
driver to the presence of vehicles
approaching from the rear in an
adjacent lane.
The system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear while
traveling in the forward direction at a
speed of 19 mph (30 km/h) or faster,
and will activate the BSM warning lights
equipped within the door mirrors.
If the turn signal lever is operated to
signal a lane change in the direction in
which the warning light is illuminated,
the system warns the driver of a vehicle
in the detection area by flashing the
warning light and activating an audible
alert.
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lanes on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part of
the doors to about 164 ft (50 m) behind
the vehicle.05060301-12A-001

If the road width is extremely narrow,
vehicles two lanes over may be
detected. The detection area of the rear
radar sensors is set according to the
road width of expressways.
The BSM warning lights may turn on in
reaction to stationary objects on the
road or the roadside such as guardrails,
tunnels, sidewalls, and parked vehicles.
A BSM warning light may flash or the
audible alert may be activated several
times when making a turn at a city
intersection.
Turn off the BSM system while pulling a
trailer or while an accessory such as a
bicycle carrier is installed to the rear of
the vehicle. Otherwise, the radar’s

Traffic Alert function when the gear
selector is shifted to the REVERSE
position.
BSM Warning Lights
The BSM warning lights are equipped
on the left and right door mirrors.
The warning lights turn on when a
vehicle approaching from the rear in an
adjacent lane is detected.
When the ignition is switched ON, the
malfunction warning light in the
instrument cluster illuminates
momentarily and then turns off after a
few seconds.
Forward Driving (BSM System
Operation)
The BSM system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear and turns on
the warning lights equipped on the door
mirrors according to the conditions. Additionally, while a warning light is
illuminated, if the turn signal lever is
operated to signal a turn in the direction
in which the warning light is illuminated,
the warning light flashes.
Reverse Driving (RCTA System
Operation)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
system detects vehicles approaching
from the left and right of your vehicle
and flashes the BSM warning lights.

Monitoring System)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System —
Abarth
The TPMS system monitors the
pressure for each tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more
tires, the system will inform the driver
via the
warning light in the
instrument cluster and by the warning
beep sound.
The tire pressure sensors installed on
each wheel send tire pressure data by
radio signal to the receiver unit in the
vehicle.
TPMS does not alleviate your need to
check the pressure and condition of all
four tires regularly.
Each tire, including the spare (if
equipped), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)05281200-03A-004

Looking At The Display
The vehicle width guide lines are
displayed on the screen as a reference
to show the width of the vehicle
compared to the width of the parking
space to be entered while in REVERSE.
Vehicle Width Guide Lines: these
guide lines serve as a reference
showing the width of the vehicle.
Distance Guide Lines: these lines
indicate the approximate distance from
the rear of the vehicle (the rear edge of
the bumper). The red and yellow lines
indicates the points at about 19 inches
(50 cm), for the red line and 39 inches
(1 m) for the yellow line, from the rear
bumper (central point of each line). Warning!Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkView Rear Back
Up Camera. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
Rear View Camera
Operation
The operating modes of the rear view
camera when the vehicle is in
REVERSE vary depending on traffic,
road, and vehicle conditions. Also, the
amount of turning and the duration of
the maneuver vary depending on the
conditions. Therefore, it is important to
check the surrounding conditions and
adapt the steering as necessary.
Note: The images from the rear
parking camera shown on the monitor
are reversed (mirror image).
1. Place the gear selector in the
REVERSE position to switch the display
to rear view camera mode.
2. Check the surrounding conditions
and begin backing up. 3. Once the vehicle starts to enter the
parking space, proceed slowly in
REVERSE while keeping the vehicle
width guide lines away from the two
sides of the parking space.
4. Continue to adjust the steering
wheel until the vehicle width guide lines
are parallel with the two sides of the

Warning!Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even
failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could
explode and injure someone. Do not spin
your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
Caution!When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by
shifting between DRIVE and REVERSE, do
not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph
(24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also damage
the tires. Do not spin the wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no
transmission shifting occurring).
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag
of sand or salt. Contact an authorized dealer to check
the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Inspect the battery and its leads.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in.
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use winter windshield washer fluid
that will not freeze.
Note:
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous as
it could obstruct vision.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake components.
If this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal
and lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.
Do not open or close the soft top when
the temperature is 41 °F (5 °C) or less.
The material of the soft top could be
damaged by freezing. Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Snow Tires
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system (vehicle
with run-flat tires), the system may not
function correctly when using tires with
steel wire reinforcement in the
sidewalls.
Use Snow Tires on all Four Wheels :
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible speed for your snow tires or
legal speed limits.
When snow tires are used, select the
specified size and pressure.
Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using tire
chains.
If your vehicle is equipped with the
TPMS system, the system may not
function correctly when using tire
chains.
