REAR CAMERA
(PARKVIEW® REAR
BACK UP CAMERA)(for versions/markets, where provided)
8)77)
The car may be equipped with a
ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera,
which allows the driver to see the
surrounding area behind the vehicle on
the display when reverse is engaged
or the tailgate is opened fig. 128.
The image is displayed together with a
warning message: after about 5
seconds the message disappears.
When reverse is disengaged, the image
is still displayed for approx. 10
seconds, then it disappears and the
previously active screen is displayed
again. When reverse is released, an "X"
will be displayed to disable the images
earlier.
NoteThe displayed image is slightly
distorted in order to have a wide-angle
view.
The camera is installed in a plastic
support on the rear crossmember of
the roof, which also includes the third
brake light fig. 129.SYMBOLS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
DISPLAY
When displayed, the static line grid
illustrates the width of the car.
The grid shows separate areas,
permitting the distance from the rear of
the car to be detected.
The table below shows the
approximate distances for each area:
Area
(reference fig.

Distance from the
rear of the car
Red (A) 0 - 30 cm
Yellow (B) 30 cm-1m
Green (C) 1 m or more
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT In some circumstances,
such as with ice, snow or mud on
the surface of the camera, its sensitivity
may be reduced.
IMPORTANT If the rear doors need to
be re-painted after the repairs, make
sure the paint does not get in contact
with the plastic support of the camera.

The system condition can always be
shown on the display.
The system displaying includes the
following two steps:
❒All new traffic signs that can be
recognised are displayed as pop-ups
for 40 seconds over the other
signallings.
❒After the preset time, they are
displayed in the dedicated screen on
the panel.
The system can display two traffic signs
(speed limit and no overtaking) at the
same time in the two dedicated areas
of the panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected,
e.g. a reduced speed limit for wet
road conditions, this is displayed as an
empty box under the relevant sign.The additional signs are filtered as
follows:
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" will not be displayed if the
outside temperature is over 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" or "cloudy" will not be
displayed if the windscreen wipers
are off and the outside temperature is
below 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "truck" will not
be displayed if the vehicle weighs
less than 4-4.5 t.
❒The speed limit sign will not be
displayed if coupled with the
additional "tractor" sign.
WARNING
78) If the camera loses its position
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
79) The system only detects the
preset traffic signs. If the
minimum visibility conditions and
distance from the sign are met
it can detect all traffic signs.80) The system is a driving
assistance system but it does not
relieve the driver of the
responsibility of driving with due
attention and diligence in
compliance with the laws in force.
81) When the system is active, the
driver is responsible for
controlling the vehicle and
monitoring the system, and must
intervene as appropriate if
necessary.
IMPORTANT
9) If the sensor is blocked, the
system may not work.
10) In the case of low temperatures
or harsh weather conditions, the
system may not work.
11) Rain, snow, splashes and strong
light contrast may influence the
sensor.
12) Do not repair the area of the
windscreen directly surrounding
the sensor.
13) If the vehicle is equipped with a
non-genuine suspension kit, the
system may not work correctly.

14) Always use genuine spare parts
when replacing the bulbs of the
headlights. Other bulbs may
reduce the system performance.
15) Clean the windscreen from
foreign matters such as bird
droppings, insects, snow or ice.
EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis
of emission-related components on
the vehicle to be made.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the
warning light in the instrument
panel (together with relevant message
in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided) when
these components are no longer in
peak condition (see “Warning lights and
messages” paragraph).
The aim of the system is to:
❒monitor system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions due
to vehicle malfunction;
❒indicate the need to replace
components which have
deteriorated.
The system also has a connector that
can be interfaced with appropriate
equipment, which makes it possible to
read the error codes stored in the
control unit together with a series of
specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis. This check
can also be carried out by traffic control
authorities.IMPORTANT After eliminating the
failure, to check the system completely,
Fiat Dealerships run a bench test and,
if necessary, road tests which may
also call for a long journey.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

PARKING SENSORSThe parking sensors are located in the
rear bumper fig. 131 and their function
is to inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal, about the
presence of obstacles behind the
vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets
closer to the bumper, the frequency
of the acoustic signal increases.ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒increase as the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance
increases;
❒remains constant if the distance
remains unchanged; if this situation
concerns the side sensors, the
buzzer will stop after about 3
seconds to avoid, for example,
warning indications in the event of
manoeuvres along walls.
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged by
the warning light
in the instrument
panel or by the icon
on the display
and by the message in the multifunction
display (for versions/markets, where
provided)OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket.
The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
16)82)
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.
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.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
❒Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
❒When parking, take the utmost
care over obstacles that may be
above or under the sensor.

❒automatic climate control, if a
suitable thermal comfort level has not
yet been reached or MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system;
❒if the Hill Descent Control system is
active.
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful
emissions and safety purposes, the
power unit can restart automatically
without any action by the driver if
certain conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can
be automatically restarted only by
fully depressing the clutch pedal.NoteIf the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch
pedal being released sharply with a
gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system
is active, the engine can be restarted
by fully depressing the clutch pedal
or by placing the gear lever in neutral.
NoteIf the clutch is not pressed, when
approx. three minutes have elapsed
since the engine was stopped, the
engine can only be restarted using the
key.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, if the driver
unfastens his/her seat belt and opens
the driver's door or the passenger door,
the engine can be restarted only by
using the key. The driver is notified of
this condition by a buzzer, through the
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where provided,
by a message in the display."ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver does
not take any action for a period of
about 3 minutes, the Start&Stop
system will definitively stop the engine
to avoid fuel consumption. The engine
can only be started using the key in
such cases.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Start&Stop system is deactivated. The
driver is informed about the fault
through the switching on of the
icon
together with a message on the
display. In this case, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
18)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top-ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK CAP
For refuelling, open flap A fig. 140 and
unscrew cap B turning the ignition
key anticlockwise; the cap is fitted with
a safety device C which fastens it to
the flap so it cannot be mislaid.The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the
device inside the flap as shown in
fig. 140.
88)
IMPORTANT
18) Only refuel with automotive
diesel complying with the
European specification EN 590.
The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the
damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types
of fuel into the tank, do not start
the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time,
you must not only drain the fuel
tank, but the rest of the supply
circuit as well.
WARNING
88) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank
opening: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
89)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
