DRIVING
ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
The vehicle can feature the following
driving assistance systems:
BSA (Blind Spot Assist);
FBC (Full Brake Control);
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System).
For the operation of the systems, see
the following pages.
BSA (Blind Spot Assist)
SYSTEM
The vehicle can be equipped with the
BSA (Blind Spot Assist) system for blind
spot monitoring. The BSA system uses
two radar sensors, located in the rear
bumper (one for each side - see
fig. 57 ), to detect the presence of
vehicles (vehicles, trucks, motorbikes,
etc.) in the rear side blind spots of the
vehicle.The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detection
area by lighting up, on the relevant side,
the warning light located on the door
mirror fig. 58, along with an acoustic
warning.
When the vehicle is started the warning
light turns on to signal the driver that
the system is active.
Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than about 10 km/h, or when
reverse is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated

DESCRIPTION
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a
driver assist device which combines the
Cruise Control functions with one for
controlling the distance from the vehicle
ahead.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses
a radar sensor, located behind the front
bumper fig. 100 and a camera, located
in the middle of the windscreen fig. 101,
to detect the presence of a vehicle
close ahead.

PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM
SENSORS
129)
53) 54) 55)
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 105, are used to detect the
presence of any obstacles near the rear
part of the vehicle.
The sensors warn the driver about the
presence of possible obstacles with an
intermittent acoustic signal and,
depending on the version, also with
visual indications on the instrument
panel display.
Activation
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is selected. As thedistance from the obstacle behind the
vehicle decreases, the frequency of the
acoustic signal increases.
Acoustic signal
When reverse is engaged and there is
an obstacle behind the vehicle, an
acoustic signal is activated and the
signal varies as the distance of the
obstacle from the bumper varies.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the
distance separating the vehicle from the
obstacle is less than about 30 cm;
is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged. If this situation concerns
the side sensors, the signal will stop
after approximately 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres along a wall.
stops immediately if the distance of
the obstacle increases.
When the system emits the acoustic
signal, the volume of theUconnect™
system is automatically lowered.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.Indication on display
The 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
TRAILER
56)
The 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

STARTING AND DRIVING

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.
GENERAL WARNINGS
Some 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 you wish to leave the tow
hook fitted without towing a trailer, it is
advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
for the relevant Park Assist system
update operations because the tow
hook could be detected as an obstacle
by the central sensors.
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to
place adhesives on the sensors.
WARNING
129)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to take. 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.
IMPORTANT
53)The sensors must be clean of 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.
54)Have interventions on the bumper in
the area of the sensors carried out only by
a Fiat Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.
55)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Fiat
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the operation of the parking
sensors.
56)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.
