ESP FIAT TIPO 5DOORS STATION WAGON 2017 1.G Owner's Manual

ACCELERATING WHEN
OVERTAKING
When driving with the device active and
following a vehicle, the device provides
additional acceleration to facilitate
overtaking, when travelling over a given
speed and switches on the left direction
indicator (of the right indicator for
right-hand drive versions).
In left-hand traffic, the overtaking assist
function is only active when the
left-hand lane is used for overtaking the
vehicle ahead (the opposite activation
logic is used in right-hand traffic
countries).
The device detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
passes from left-hand traffic to
right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right.
The additional acceleration is activated
when the driver uses the right direction
indicator.
In this condition, the device no longer
provides the overtaking assist function
on the left-hand side until it determines
that the vehicle has returned to
left-hand traffic conditions.
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled
but not deactivated, if a speed was
previously set simply press the RES
(Resume) button and remove your foot
from the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, press the RES (Resume) button
and then release it.
IMPORTANT The recall function must
only be used if the road and traffic
conditions so allow. Recalling an
excessively high or low speed for the
current traffic and road conditions could
cause an acceleration or a deceleration
of the vehicle. Failure to comply with
these precautions may cause serious
accidents and fatal injuries.
SETTING THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN VEHICLES
The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long),
4 bars (maximum) (see fig. 124 ).The distances from the vehicle ahead
are proportional to speed. The interval
of time with respect to the vehicle
ahead remains constant and varies
from 1 second (for the short distance
1-bar setting) to 2 seconds (for the
maximum distance 4-bar setting).
The set distance is shown on the
display with a symbol in the “Driver
Assist” area.
The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time
the device is used. After the distance
has been modified by the driver, the
124P2000094-000-000
119

new distance will be stored also after
the system is deactivated and
reactivated.
To decrease the distance
Press and release the
button to
decrease the distance setting.
The distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter) every time the button is
pressed.
The set speed is held if there are no
vehicles ahead. Once the shortest
distance has been reached, a further
press of the button will set the longest
distance.
If a slower vehicle is detected in the
same lane, it will be shown on the
display in the “Driver Assist” area. The
device will automatically adjust the car’s
speed to maintain the set distance,
independently of the set speed.
The vehicle holds the set distance until:
the vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed higher than the set speed;
the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or
the detection field of the Adaptive
Cruise Control device sensor;
the distance setting is changed;
the Adaptive Cruise Control device is
deactivated/cancelled.
IMPORTANT The maximum breaking
applied by the device is limited. The
driver may apply the brakes in all cases
if needed.
IMPORTANT If the device predicts that
the braking level is not sufficient to hold
the set distance, the driver is warned by
a message indicating that the vehicle
ahead is too close. An acoustic signal is
also emitted. In this case, it is advisable
to brake immediately as necessary to
hold a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead.
IMPORTANT The driver is responsible
for ensuring that there are no
pedestrians, other vehicles or
objectives along the direction of the
vehicle. Failure to comply with these
precautions may cause serious
accidents and injuries.
IMPORTANT The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
thebutton is pressed on the
Adaptive Cruise Control;
thebutton is pressed on the
electronic Cruise Control;
the Speed Limiter button is pressed;
the ignition device is in the STOP
position.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the CANC button is pressed;
when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
when the vehicle speed drops under
the minimum set speed (e.g. in
presence of slow vehicles).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect to a
vehicle ahead, the system could
continue the deceleration, if necessary,
also after it is cancelled or deactivated
within the minimum speed settable on
the system.
SYSTEM LIMITED
OPERATION SIGNAL
If the dedicated message is shown on
the display, a condition limiting the
system operation may have occurred.
The possible cause of this limitation is a
failure.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to
normal and complete operation. Should
the fault persist, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
120
STARTING AND DRIVING

Sufficient distance from the vehicles
ahead may not be guaranteed in these
cases.
Stationary objects and vehicles
The device cannot detect the presence
of stationary vehicles or objects. For
example, the device will not operate if
the vehicle ahead leaves the lane and a
vehicle ahead of that one is standing on
the lane.
Pay the utmost attention at all times
and be always ready to press the
brakes if needed.
Objects and vehicles moving in
opposite or crosswise direction
The device cannot detect the presence
of objects or vehicles travelling in
opposite or crosswise direction
fig. 128 and consequently will not be
operated.ELECTRONIC CRUISE
CONTROL MODE
Electronic Cruise Control mode is
available for travelling at constant speed
in addition to the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) mode.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
function is implemented on the vehicle,
the electronic Cruise Control works in
the same manner as the ACC (by
pressing the
button of the Cruise
Control) with the difference that:
it does not hold the distance from the
vehicle ahead;
the device keeps working if the
radar sensor is obstructed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, press the RES (Resume) button
and then release it.
WARNING
117)Pay the utmost attention while driving
at all times and be always ready to press
the brakes if needed.
118)The system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
119)The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
120)The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
121)The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
122)The device cannot apply the
maximum braking force: the car will not be
stopped completely.
IMPORTANT
43)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
Indication on display
The indications regarding the Park
Assist system are shown only if the
"Acoustic signal and display" item in the
"Settings" menu of theUconnect™ 5"
or7" HDsystem (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.
FAULT INDICATION
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated when reverse is engaged by
the switching on of the
symbol on
the instrument panel together with the
message on the display (see
description in the "Warning lights and
messages" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
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.
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.
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;
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to
place adhesives on the sensors.
WARNING
123)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.
124
STARTING AND DRIVING

IMPORTANT NOTES
IMPORTANT In some circumstances,
such as with ice, snow or mud on the
surface of the camera, the camera
sensitivity may be reduced.
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
124)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
53)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.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
125) 126)
For towing caravans or trailers the
vehicle must be fitted with an approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Should aftermarket installation
be requested, this must be carried out
by specialists.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that, when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight
of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the
vehicle tow hook reduces the vehicle's
loading capacity by the same amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.

IMPORTANT The use of hazard warning
lights is governed by the highway code
of the country you are driving in:
comply with legal requirements.
Emergency braking
In the event of emergency braking the
hazard warning lights switch on
automatically as well as warning lights
andin the instrument panel.
The lights switch off automatically when

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
"If a fuse blows" in this chapter.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of
the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the
centre of the diffuser, extendingprogressively towards the edges.

IN AN EMERGENCY

refit the flap 3 properly, inserting the
fasteners 1 and 2 in their seats.
In the event the bulb cannot be
replaced, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Number plate lights
To replace the bulbs, proceed as
follows:
use the screwdriver provided to
remove the lens unit 1 fig. 158;
turn the bulb holder 2
fig. 159 anticlockwise, remove the bulb
3 and replace it;
refit the lens unit, pressing it lightly.
NOTE Before removing the lens unit,
put a protection (e.g. cloth) on the tip of
the screwdriver, in order not to damage
the lens itself.WARNING
130)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
131)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.132)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
133)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.
IMPORTANT
55)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.157P2000080-000-000158P1030157-000-000

place the inner part of the hub cap
on the wheel rim;
engage the hub cap by applying an
axial force in several points as shown in
fig. 182 to allow the correct coupling
between hub cap and wheel.
NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted to
the space-saver wheel (for TIPO
5DOOR version).
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.WARNING
138)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
139)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
140)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed.141)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: use it
only in the positions indicated. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
142)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT
58)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
