2017 FIAT 500L LIVING parking sensors

STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the core 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 ................. 93

STARTING AND DRIVING

To store a speed value higher/lower
than that displayed, move stalk A
upwards (+) to store a higher speed
value, or move stalk A downwards (-) to
store a lower speed value.
Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to an increase/decrease in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held upwards/downwards
will increase/decrease the speed with
an increment of 5 km/h.
DEVICE ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the device, press
the CANC/RES button (B fig. 96).
Activation of the device:itis
indicated by the
warning light on the
instrument panel switching on.
Deactivation of the device:itis
signalled by the displaying of symbol
.
DEACTIVATING THE
DEVICE
Turn ring nut A to positionO. The
deactivation of the device is indicated
by the
warning light switching off on
the instrument panel and, on some
versions, by a message and
symbol
on the display.
Device automatic deactivation: the
device deactivates automatically in
the event of fault in the system.
PARKING SENSORS
110)59)
SENSORS
The sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 97 and their function is to
detect the presence of any obstacles
near the rear part of the vehicle and
inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal.
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer
to the car, the acoustic signal becomes
more frequent.

ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Turn ring nut A fig. 96 to.
SPEED LIMIT
PROGRAMMING
The speed limit can be programmed
without necessarily activating the
device.

OPERATION WITH A
TRAILER
Sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer's electric
cable plug is fitted into the car's tow
hook socket.
The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above
or below the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, objects
close to the vehicle are not detected by
the system and could therefore cause
damage to the car or be damaged
themselves.
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking sensors:
❒the presence of ice, snow, mud
or think paint on the sensor surface
may cause reduced sensitivity of the
sensor itself and therefore reduce
the system performance.
❒mechanical interference (e.g. washing
the car, rain, strong wind, hail) may
cause the sensor to detect a
non-existent obstacle ("echo
interference");❒the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems of
trucks or pneumatic drills) near the car
could alter the signals sent by the
sensor;
❒the variation in sensor position,
caused by variation in ride (due
to suspension component wear),
changing tyres, overloaded car, or
tuning that lowers the car, for example,
may affect parking sensor system
performance.
WARNING
110)Parking and other 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 parking
sensors are an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.
WARNING
59)The sensors must be free from mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should 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. Also, do not apply stickers to
the sensors.
