2014 FIAT 500X torque

CAUTION!(Continued)
above or below the sensors will not be detected
when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
ParkSense in order to be able to stop in time
when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended
that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense.
If it’s necessary to keep the trailer hitch and hitch ball
assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to
filter out the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly
presence in sensor field of view. The filtering operation
must be performed only by an authorized dealer.
LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above
37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h). The
LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to
detect lane markings and measure vehicle position
within the lane boundaries. When both lane markings are detected and the driver
unintentionally drifts out of the lane (no turn signal
applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warn-
ing in the form of torque applied to the steering wheel
to prompt the driver to remain within the lane bound-
aries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out
of the lane, the LaneSense system provides a visual
warning through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning
by applying torque into the steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the
driver unintentionally drifts across the lane marking
(no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides
a visual warning through the instrument cluster display
to prompt the driver to remain within the lane. When
only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque)
warning will not be provided.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the
LaneSense system will monitor if the driver ’s hands are
on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning
to the driver when the driver ’s hands are not detected
on the steering wheel. The system will cancel if the
driver does not return their hands to the wheel.

STARTING AND OPERATING 251

NOTE:The LaneSense system operates with the similar
behavior for a right lane departure when only the right
lane marking has been detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
• When the LaneSense system is on, the lane lines turn
from gray to white to indicate that both of the lane
markings have been detected. The LaneSense indica-
tor is solid green when both lane markings have been
detected and the system is “armed” to provide visual warnings in the instrument cluster display and a
torque warning in the steering wheel if an uninten-
tional lane departure occurs.
• When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift
situation, the left thick lane line and left thin line turn
solid yellow. The LaneSense indicator changes from
solid green to solid yellow. At this time torque is
applied to the steering wheel in the opposite direc-
tion of the lane boundary.
• For example: If approaching the left side of the lane
the steering wheel will turn to the right.

Yellow Thin Line/Flashing Yellow Indicator)
Lanes Sensed (White Lines/Green Indicator)
7
STARTING AND OPERATING 253

•When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been
approached and is in a lane departure situation, the
left thick lane line flashes yellow (on/off) and the left
thin line remains solid yellow. The LaneSense indi-
cator changes from solid yellow to flashing yellow.
At this time torque is applied to the steering wheel in
the opposite direction of the lane boundary.
• For example: If approaching the left side of the lane
the steering wheel will turn to the right. NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with the similar
behavior for a right lane departure.
Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust the inten-
sity of the torque warning and the warning zone
sensitivity (early/late) that you can configure through
the Uconnect system screen. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” for further information.

254 STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:
•When enabled the system operates above 37 mph
(60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h).
• Use of the turn signal suppresses the warnings.
• The system will not apply torque to the steering
wheel whenever a safety system engages. (anti-lock
brakes, traction control system, electronic stability
control, forward collision warning, etc.).
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera that allows you to
see an on-screen image of your vehicle’s rear surround-
ings when the gear selector is put into REVERSE. The
image will be displayed on the touchscreen display
along with a note to “check entire surroundings” across
the top of the screen. After five seconds this note will
disappear. The ParkView camera is located above the
rear license plate. When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with
camera delay turned off), the rear camera mode is
exited and the navigation or audio screen appears
again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with
camera delay turned on), the camera image will con-
tinue to be displayed for up to 10 seconds after shifting
out of REVERSE unless the vehicle speed exceeds
8 mph (13 km/h), the vehicle is shifted into PARK or the
ignition is switched to STOP mode.Parking Camera7

Frequency Of Fluid Change
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed
at the factory will give satisfactory lubrication for the
life of the vehicle. Fluid changes are not necessary
unless lubricant has become contaminated with water.
NOTE:If contaminated with water, the fluid should be
changed immediately.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper transmission fluid to
ensure optimum transmission performance and life.
Use only the manufacturer ’s specified transmission
fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, And Genuine Parts”
in “Technical Data” for fluid specifications. It is impor-
tant to maintain the transmission fluid at the correct
level using the recommended fluid.
NOTE: No chemical flushes should be used in any
transmission; only the approved lubricant should be
used.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac-
turer ’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration
in transmission shift quality and/or torque con-
verter shudder. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, And
Genuine Parts” in “Technical Data” for fluid speci-
fications.
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against using
any special additives in the transmission. Automatic
