pressing the clutch pedal while shifting
gear.
DEACTIVATING THE
DEVICE
The electronic Cruise Control is
deactivated by pressing button 1
fig. 102 or bringing the ignition device
to STOP.
WARNING
117)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
118)In case of a malfunction or failure of
the device, contact a Fiat Dealership.
119)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or
slippery roads.
PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
SENSORS
120)
44) 45) 46)
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 103, are used to detect the
presence of any obstacles near the rear
part of the vehicle.
The sensors warn the driver about the
presence of possible obstacles with an
intermittent acoustic signal and,
depending on the version, also with
visual indications on the instrument
panel display.
10307176J0001EM
113

Activation
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is selected. As the
distance from the obstacle behind the
vehicle decreases, the frequency of the
acoustic signal increases.
Acoustic signal
When reverse is engaged and there is
an obstacle behind the vehicle, an
acoustic signal is activated and the
signal varies as the distance of the
obstacle from the bumper varies.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the
distance separating the vehicle from the
obstacle is less than about 30 cm;
is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged. If this situation concerns
the side sensors, the signal will stop
after approximately 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres along a wall.
stops immediately if the distance of
the obstacle increases.
When the system emits the acoustic
signal, the volume of theUconnect™
system (where provided) is
automatically lowered.Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
Signals on the reconfigurable
multifunction display
The indications regarding the Park
Assist system are shown only on the
reconfigurable multifunction display and
only if the "Acoustic signal and display"
item in the "Settings" menu of the
Uconnect™system (where provided)
was previously selected (for more
information, see the description in the
dedicated chapter).
The system indicates the presence of
an obstacle by displaying a single arc in
one of the possible areas, in
accordance with the distance of the
object and the position in relation to the
vehicle. If the obstacle is detected in the
rear central area, a single arc will be
displayed as the obstacle approaches,
first constant, then flashing, in addition
to an acoustic signal.OPERATION WITH A
TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electrical connection is inserted
in the vehicle's tow hook socket.Sensors are reactivated on removing
the trailer's electrical connection. Before
using the Park Assist system, it is
recommended to remove the tow hook
ball assembly and the relevant
attachment from the vehicle. Failure to
comply with this prescription may
cause personal injuries or damage to
vehicles or obstacles since, when the
continuous acoustic signal is emitted,
the tow hook ball is already in a position
that is much closer to the obstacle than
the rear bumper. In addition, the
sensors may provide a false indication,
interpreting the tow hook ball assembly
and the relevant attachment as an
obstacle in the area behind the vehicle.
If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted
without towing a trailer, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
system updated and prevent detection
by the central sensors.
IMPORTANT NOTES
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor. Objects close to the
vehicle are not detected under certain
circumstances and could therefore
cause damage to the vehicle or be
damaged.
114
STARTING AND DRIVING

Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence of: ice, snow, mud, paint,
etc. on the surface of the sensor;
the sensor may detect a
non-existent obstacle ("echo
interference") due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing
the vehicle, in rain (strong wind), hail;
the signals sent by the sensor can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle;
parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by changing
tyres, overloading the vehicle or fitting
specific trims that require the vehicle to
be lowered;
the presence of a tow hook without
trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the parking
sensors. In the case of vehicles fitted
with removable tow hook, whether as
standard or installed after the vehicle
was purchased, it is advisable to
remove it whenever it is not used, to
prevent incorrect operation of the
sensors;
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to
place adhesives on the sensors.
WARNING
120)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to take. The parking sensors are
an aid for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
IMPORTANT
44)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. 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. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
45)Have interventions on the bumper in
the area of the sensors carried out only by
a Fiat Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors
46)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.

REAR VIEW CAMERA
(where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The rear camera 1 fig. 104 is located on
the rear lid.
121)
47)
Every time reverse is engaged, the
display fig. 105 shows the area around
the vehicle, as seen by the rear camera.
SYMBOLS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
DISPLAY
A superimposed central broken line
indicates the centre of the vehicle to
facilitate parking manoeuvres or tow
hook alignment. The various coloured
areas indicate the distance from the
rear of the vehicle.
The table below shows the approximate
distances for each area fig. 105:
AreaDistance from the
rear of the vehicle
Red (1) 0–30 cm
Yellow (2) 30–100 cm
Green (3) 1 m or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
121)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
IMPORTANT
47)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.
