INDEX
The driver always has ultimate
responsibility for parking and other
dangerous manoeuvres. While manoeuvring,
always make sure that no-one is in the area
concerned (especially children) or animals.
The parking sensors are designed to assist
drivers: in any case, you must always pay the
utmost attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when carried out at low
speed.
WARNINGFor correct operation, sensors must
always be clean from mud, dirt, snow or
ice. Be careful not to scratch or damage
the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths. The sensors should be
washed with clean water, possibly with some car
shampoo.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles
that may be above or below the sensors.
❒Objects close to the vehicle, in certain
circumstances are not detected and could therefore
cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged.
The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the
parking assistance system performance could be due
to the presence on the surface of the sensor of: ice,
snow, mud, thick paint.

SOUND SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
For radio operation, consult the Supplement attached to
this Owner Handbook.
SOUND SYSTEM CAPABILITY
(for versions/markets where provided)
The system consists of:
❒sound system power cables
❒front speaker connection cables
❒aerial power cable
❒2 tweeters A on the front pillars (30 W max power
each), fig. 132;
❒2 mid-woofers B in the front doors (165 mm
diameter, 40 W max power each) fig. 133;
❒radio aerial lead.
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for example
when washing the vehicle, in case of rain, strong
wind, hail.
❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near
the vehicle.
❒The performance of the parking assistance system
may also be affected by the position of the sensors.
For example by a change in the ride setting (caused
by the wear of the shock absorbers, suspension),
changing the tyres, overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations that require
the vehicle to be lowered;
❒Detection of obstacles in the upper part of the
vehicle (particularly in the case of vans or chassis
cabs) may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could strike the lower part
of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT The engine must be running to use the
electric brake or a winch.
In addition to the electrical branches, the vehicle’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 15 W. For connections
use the preset control unit with battery cable no less
than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The trailer tow hook contributes to the
length of the vehicle. When installing on long wheelbase
versions, it is only possible to install removable tow
hooks because the total vehicle length limit of 6 metres
is exceeded.
If no trailer is fitted, the hook must be removed from
the attachment base and it must not exceed the
vehicle’s original length.IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted
without towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system update operations
because the tow hook could be detected as an obstacle
by the central sensors.
