2017 FIAT 500X light

when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
when the car speed drops under the
minimum set speed (e.g. in presence of
slow cars).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect to a
vehicle ahead, the system could
continue the deceleration, if necessary,
also after it is cancelled or deactivated
within the minimum speed settable on
the system.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE
CONTROL MODE
Electronic Cruise Control mode is
available for travelling at constant speed
in addition to the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) mode.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
function is implemented on the vehicle,
the electronic Cruise Control works in
the same manner as the ACC (by
pressing the
button of the Cruise
Control) with the difference that:
it does not hold the distance from the
vehicle ahead;
the device keeps working if the radar
sensor is obstructed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
WARNING
123)Pay the utmost attention while driving
at all times and be always ready to press
the brakes if needed.
124)The system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
125)The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
126)The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
127)The device does not always fully
recognise complex driving conditions that
could cause it to determine the safe
distance to be held incorrectly or not at all.
128)The device cannot apply the
maximum braking force: the car will not be
stopped completely.
IMPORTANT
46)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.47)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
48)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
49)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the car (e.g. bumper, chassis) may alter
the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
50)Do not tamper with or carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor fault, contact a Fiat Dealership.
51)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
52)Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may automatically
deactivate and display a warning to indicate
that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even
without a malfunction warning, deactivate
the system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.

LANE ASSIST
SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)
DESCRIPTION
57) 58) 59) 60) 61) 62)
The Lane Assist system makes use of a
camera located on the windscreen to
detect the lane limits and calculate the
position of the vehicle within such limits,
in order to make sure that it remains
inside the lane.
When both limits of the lane are
detected and the vehicle crosses one of
them without the awareness of the
driver (direction indicator off), the Lane
Assist system provides a tactile warning
by applying torque to the steering wheel
(vibration), thus advising the driver that
he must take an action to remain in the
lane.
IMPORTANT The torque applied to the
steering wheel by the system is
sufficient for the driver to notice it, but
always limited, so that they can easily
override it, and the driver always
maintains control of the vehicle. The
driver can therefore turn the steering
wheel as required at all times.
If the vehicle continues going beyond
the line of the lane without anyintervention from the driver, the
warning light (or the icon on the
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
IMPORTANT The system monitors the
presence of the driver's hands on the
steering wheel. If they are not detected,
the system emits an acoustic signal and
deactivates until it is reactivated by
pressing the dedicated button (see
description below).
When one limit of the lane is detected
and the vehicle crosses it (direction
indicator off), warning light
(or the
icon on the display) will be displayed on
the instrument panel to urge the driver
to bring the vehicle back into the lane.
In this case, the tactile warning
(vibration on the steering wheel) is not
provided.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The Lane Assist system can be
enabled/disabled using button A
fig. 106, located on the left stalk.Each time the engine is started, the
system keeps the activation status
there was when it was previously
switched off.
On some versions, a dedicated
message appears on the display when
it is activated and deactivated.
Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
the driver always keeps at least one
hand on the steering wheel;
vehicle speed ranges between
60 km/h and 180 km/h;
the lane limit lines are perfectly visible
on both sides;
there are suitable visibility conditions;
the road is straight or with wide
radius bends;

STARTING AND DRIVING

Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in the
case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case, the top speed must not exceed
100 km/h.
Any electric brake must be powered
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross-section of no less than
2.5 mm
2. In addition to the electrical
branches, the vehicle electrical system
can only be connected to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the
cable for an internal light for the trailer,
not exceeding 15 W. For connections,
use the preset control unit with a
battery cable with section not less than
2.5 mm
2. The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (e.g. electric
brake) must take place with engine
running.
INSTALLING A TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device. It must also
meet current regulations with reference
to Directive 94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must be right for the towable weight of
the vehicle on which it is to be installed.
For the electrical connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle. 7 or 13-pin 12 V DC
connections should be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards).
Follow any instructions provided by the
vehicle manufacturer and/or the towing
device manufacturer.

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“Replacing fuses” in this chapter.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of
the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the
centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
