DRIVING ADVISOR
(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
82) 79) 80)
The Driving Advisor is a warning
system that notifies the driver
if he/she crosses the lane because
he/she has been distracted.
A video sensor, fitted on the
windscreen near the interior rear
view mirror, detects the lane
demarcation lines and the position
of the car in relation to them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving
Advisor, it is advisable to contact
a Fiat Dealership should the
windscreen need to be replaced. If
the repair is carried out at a
specialist window replacement
centre, it is still necessary to go to a
Fiat Dealership to have the camera
calibrated.OPERATION
The system is always active when
the vehicle is started. It can be
deactivated or re-activated by
pressing button A fig. 128 on the
dashboard (see following
description).
The LED on the button switches on
to confirm that the system has
been activated and a dedicated
message appears on the display.
When the system is activated,
the LED on the dedicated button is
off. If the user deactivates the
system, the LED on the button
switches on constantly and a
dedicated message appears on the
display to confirm that the system
has been switched off.The system is enabled at every key
cycle of the vehicle and starts
recognition of the operating
conditions (condition signalled to
the driver when the 2 direction
warning lights
andon the
instrument panel light up).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes
active, i.e. it can assist the driver
with visual and acoustic warnings.
Therefore the two direction warning
lights
andon the instrument
panel switch off to prevent
excessively frequent warnings while
driving in towns or on winding
roads at low speeds.
IMPORTANT If the operating
conditions are no longer present,
the system remains activated
but inactive. Therefore the driver is
warned by the 2 direction warning
lights
andon the instrument
panel switching on constantly.

OPERATING
CONDITIONS FOR
ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
❒front driving direction (reverse not
engaged);
❒the system does not detect any error;
❒calibration in progress;
❒vehicle speed between 60 km/h and
max. vehicle speed;
❒presence of lane demarcation lines
not deteriorated and visible on both
sides;
❒suitable visibility conditions;
❒straight line or wide radius bends;
❒sufficient field of vision condition
(safety distance from vehicle in front);
❒direction indicators not activated
in the lane exiting direction (e.g. right
lane exiting direction, right direction
indicator activated);
❒vehicle direction getting constantly
closer to the lane demarcation lines
(the vehicle trajectory is within the
lane demarcation lines);
❒vehicle not constantly next to the lane
demarcation line.
SYSTEM
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
When the system is active, if the
vehicle gets close to one of the limit
lines or one of the two lane
demarcation lines, the driver is
warned with an acoustic signal
(coming from the crossed line side
if the vehicle is equipped with the
radio navigation system) along with
the corresponding direction
warning light (
or) lighting up.
If the driver turns on the direction
indicator in order to change lanes
or for overtaking, then the system
will switch off the driver warning.
If the driver keeps deliberately with
the lane change manoeuvre, the
system interrupts the warning,
remaining enabled if the operating
conditions are not satisfied or active
if the operating conditions are
exceeded (see the dedicated
paragraph).SWITCHING OFF THE
SYSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be switched off by
pressing button A fig. 128 on the
dashboard.
The LED on the button switches on
and a message appears on the
display to confirm that the system
has been switched off.
Automatic mode
If the Start&Stop is active the
system deactivates automatically.
The system will reactivate and
check its operating conditions
again after the vehicle has been
started.
SYSTEM FAILURE
In the case of malfunction the
system signals the fault to the driver
with a message on the display, an
acoustic warning and switching
on of the icon
on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Driving Advisor cannot operate
due to a not perfectly balanced
and excessive load.
The operation of the system can be
adversely affected in some cases
by the morphology of the
territory/road being driven on (e.g.
driving over humps), poor visibility
conditions (e.g. fog, rain, snow),
extreme light conditions (e.g. glare
of the sun, darkness), lack of
cleanliness or damage, even partial,
to the windscreen in the area in
front of the camera.
The Driving Advisor cannot operate
following a malfunction of the
following safety systems: ABS, ESP,
ASR and Traction Plus.
The operation of the system can be
adversely affected by poor visibility
conditions (e.g. fog, rain, snow),
extreme light conditions (glare
of the sun, darkness), lack of
cleaning or damage, even partial, to
the windscreen in the area in front
the camera.The area of the windscreen by the
camera must not be partly or totally
obscured by objects (e.g. stickers,
protective film, etc.).
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 Driving Advisor is not an
automatic driving system and
does not replace the driver in
controlling the trajectory of the
car. The driver is personally
responsible for maintaining a
sufficient level of attention to the
traffic and road conditions and
for controlling the trajectory of the
car safely.
80) In the case of indistinct,
overlapping or missing lane
demarcation lines, the system
may not assist the driver: in this
case the Driving Advisor will be
inactive.

REAR CAMERA
(PARKVIEW® REAR
BACK UP CAMERA)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
9)
81)
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. 129.
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. 130.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:

WARNING
82) 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.
83) 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.
84) 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.
85) 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
10) If the sensor is blocked, the
system may not work.
11) In the case of low temperatures
or harsh weather conditions, the
system may not work.
12) Rain, snow, splashes and strong
light contrast may influence the
sensor.
13) Do not repair the area of the
windscreen directly surrounding
the sensor.
14) If the vehicle is equipped with a
non-genuine suspension kit, the
system may not work correctly.
15) Always use genuine spare parts
when replacing the bulbs of the
headlights. Other bulbs may
reduce the system performance.
16) Clean the windscreen from
foreign matters such as bird
droppings, insects, snow or ice.
EOBD SYSTEM
The 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.

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.
17)
86)
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.
❒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 assistance 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.❒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.
