On certain versions a dedicated message is
displayed.
amberSTART&STOP SYSTEM FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when a fault is

STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the "heart" of the vehicle:
seeing how you can exploit all of its
potential to the full.
We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome
companion, with our comfort and
our wallets in mind.STARTING THE ENGINE .................130

PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper
fig. 152 and their function is to inform
the driver, through an intermittent
beeping noise, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse 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 frequency of the acoustic signal:❒increases 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;
❒is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged;
❒whereas, if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the indication will
stop after about 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, warning indications in
the event of manoeuvres alongside
walls.
Detection distances
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
switching on together with the
message in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided (see
chapter "Warning lights and
messages”).
97)
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.
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.
GENERAL WARNINGS
98)
❒When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor.
❒Sometimes, objects located very
near the rear of the vehicle are not
detected and could therefore
damage the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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 out by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g. truck
pneumatic brakes 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.
❒The parking sensors work properly
with the swing doors closed.
❒If they are open, they can cause the
system to send false signals: always
close the rear doors.
❒Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
WARNING
97) The sensors must be clean of
mud, dirt, snow and ice in order
for the system to work. Be careful
not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors must be
washed using clean water, with
the addition of car shampoo if
necessary. 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.98) Parking manoeuvres, however,
are 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 parking
sensor is designed to assist
drivers, who must still never allow
their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous
manoeuvres even if performed at
low speed.
