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 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.
Also, do not apply stickers to the sensors.
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 interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the
vehicle, in rain (strong wind), hail.
The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brakes of trucks or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.
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.
WARNING
The ultimate responsibility when
parking and carrying out other
dangerous manoeuvres still rests with the
driver.When parking, make sure that no-one is
standing in the area, especially children or
animals. Parking sensors are designed to assist
drivers; however, you must always concentrate
fully during potentially dangerous manoeuvres,
even if carried out at low speeds.

NoteIn cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is active, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by
placing the gear lever in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the Start&Stop
system, if the driver unfastens his/her seat belt and
opens the driver or the passenger door, the engine
can only be restarted using the key. The driver is
notified of this condition both by a buzzer and the
flashing of the fig. 105 warning light on the
instrument panel and, where provided, an
information message on the display.
"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, as a result of automatic engine restarting, the
driver does not carry out any action on the vehicle
for an extended period (about 3 minutes), the
Start&Stop system stops the engine definitively, to
prevent fuel consumption. The engine can only
be started using the key in such cases.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunctions the Start&Stop system is
disabled. The driver is informed of the problem bythe switching on of the general failure fig. 107
warning light A, where provided, an information
message and the system failure fig. 107 icon B on the
control panel.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
In cases of car inactivity, special attention must be
paid due to the disconnection of the battery power
supply. Proceed as follows: disconnect connector
A fig. 108(by pressing button B) from the sensor C
for monitoring the status of the battery installed
on the negative pole D of the battery itself. This
sensor should never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition key to STOP,
wait at least 1 minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery.

WARNING
If, after an impact , you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system, do not
reactivate the system to avoid the risk of fire.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are
the following:
three-way catalytic converter
Lambda sensors
anti-evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test,
with one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions:
oxidising catalytic converter
exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral to the exhaust system, that physically traps
carbon particulates present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
It is needed to eliminate almost all particulates in
compliance with current/future legislation. During
normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit
records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate how
much particulate has been trapped by the filter.
