2017 FIAT FIORINO brake sensor

ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The ESC system improves the directional control and
stability of the vehicle in various driving conditions.
The ESC system corrects the vehicle’s understeer
and oversteer, distributing the brake force on the
appropriate wheels. The torque supplied by the
engine can also be reduced in order to maintain
control of the vehicle.
The ESC system uses the sensors in the vehicle to
determine the trajectory required by the driver
through steering and compares it with the real
trajectory of the vehicle. When the real trajectory
deviates from the desired trajectory, the ESC system
intervenes to counter the car’s understeer or
oversteer.
Oversteer: occurs when the vehicle is turning
more than it should according to the angle of
the steering wheel
Understeer: occurs when the vehicle is turning
less than it should according to the angle of the
steering wheel
The ESC system also includes the following systems:
Hill Holder
ASR
MSR
HBASYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the instrument panel
warning light
, to inform the driver that the car
is in critical stability and grip conditions.
Switching the system on
The ESC system is automatically activated when the
vehicle is started and cannot be deactivated.
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the ESC system will be
automatically switched off and warning light
will
switch on constantly on the instrument panel along
with a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where provided) (see chapter
"Warning lights and messages"). Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
The ESC system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
WARNING
The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.

WARNING
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
WARNING
The laser beam is not visible at the
naked eye. Do not look directly, or with
optical instruments (e.g. lenses), at the laser
beam from a distance lower than 10 cm: this
may cause damage to the sight .The laser beam
is also present when the key is at MAR but its
operation is off, not available or manually
deactivated with the display Setup Menu.
WARNING
The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. Small sized
vehicles (e.g. bicycles or motorbikes) or people,
animals and things (e.g. pushchairs) and more in
general all those obstacles with a low reflection
of the light emitted by the laser (e.g. vehicles
soiled with mud) are not taken into
consideration.
WARNING
If the car must be placed on a roller
bench (at a speed within 5 and 30 km/h)
for maintenance interventions or if it is washed
in an automatic roller washing tunnel with an
obstacle in the front part (e.g. another car, a
wall or another obstacle), the system may
detect its presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
display Setup Menu.
The laser sensor may have limited or
absent operation due to weather
conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on the
windscreen.
Sensor operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust ,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles
that are driving not aligned with your car, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on the
same lane, bend with a small radius of curvature),
by road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure the
windscreen is always clean. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching
the windscreen.The sensor operation may also be
limited or absent in some driving, traffic and
road surface conditions.

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.
