2017 FIAT QUBO brakes

The sensor must be free of mud, dirt , snow
or ice in order for the system to work. Be
careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dr y,
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.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically
deactivated when the plug for the electric cable for
the trailer is inserted in the vehicle tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again when
the trailer cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted without towing a trailer, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow hook could be
detected as an obstacle by the central sensors.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost
attention to any obstacles that could be located
above or below the sensors.
Sometimes, objects located very near the rear of
the vehicle are not detected and could therefore
damage the vehicle or be damaged themselves.
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.
