2015 FIAT 500X brake sensor

Detection distancesIf several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.Indication on displayThe indications regarding the Park
Assist system are shown on the
instrument panel display only if the
"Acoustic signal and display" item in the
"Settings" menu of theUconnect™
system is 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
TRAILERThe 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.
GENERAL WARNINGSSome 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. If a fixed tow hook is installed,
the parking sensors cannot operate
correctly. 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.

REAR VIEW CAMERADESCRIPTIONThe camera A fig. 99 is located on the
tailgate.
119)49)
Every time reverse is engaged, the
display fig. 100 shows the area around
the vehicle, as seen by the rear camera.
SYMBOLS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
DISPLAYA 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. 100:
AreaDistance from the
rear of the vehicleRed (A) 0–30 cm
Yellow (B) 30–100 cm
Green (C) 1 m or more
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
119)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 maintain a
moderate speed, so as to be able to
brake promptly in the case of obstacles.
WARNING
49)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free
from 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. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.
