2017 FIAT TIPO 4DOORS Crash

The Fill Brake Control system consists
of a radar located behind the front
bumper fig. 65.
In the event of an imminent collision the
system may intervene by braking the
vehicle to prevent the crash or reduce
its effects.
When the system detects the risk of
collision, it gives the driver acoustic and
visual signals through specific
messages on the instrument panel
display. The signals are intended to
allow the driver to react promptly, in
order to prevent or reduce the effects of
a potential accident.
If the system does not detect any
action by the driver, it can intervene by
braking automatically to attenuate the
potential accident (automatic braking).If the system detects that the driver is
pressing the brake pedal, but this is not
deemed sufficient, the system may
intervene in order to improve the
reaction of the braking system,
therefore reducing vehicle speed further
(additional assistance during braking).
Versions equipped with Start&Stop
system: at the end of the automatic
braking, the Start&Stop system will
activate as described in paragraph
"Start&Stop system" of the "Starting
and driving" chapter.
Versions with manual gearbox:at
the end of the automatic braking the
engine may stall and turn off, unless the
driver presses the clutch pedal.
For versions with automatic
transmission: the last gear stored
remains engaged after braking. The
vehicle could start up again after a few
seconds of automatic stop.
IMPORTANT After the car is stopped,
the brake callipers may be locked for
about 2 seconds for safety reasons.
Make sure you press the brake pedal if
the vehicle moves slightly forwards.
Engagement/disengagement
The Full Brake Control can be
deactivated (and subsequently
reactivated) through the instrument
panel Menu.
With theUconnect™ 5"system, some
Menu items are shown and managed
on the display of the latter and not on
the instrument panel display (refer to
the dedicated Multimedia chapter or to
the supplement available online).
The system can be deactivated even
with the ignition device at MAR.
IMPORTANT The system status can be
changed with vehicle at a standstill only.
The Full Brake Control can be set by
selecting one of the 3 Menu options:
System active: the system (if active),
in addition to the visual and acoustic
warnings, can provide automatic
braking and additional assistance
during braking, if the driver does not
brake hard enough in the event of a
potential impact with the vehicle in
front;
System partially active: the system (if
active), does not give the visual and
acoustic warnings, but can provide
automatic braking and additional
assistance during braking, if the driver
does not brake hard enough in the
event of a potential impact with the
vehicle in front;
System deactivated: the system
does not give visual and acoustic
warnings, limited braking, automatic
braking or additional assistance during
braking.

SAFETY

84)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.
85)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear the
seat belt correctly.
86)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
87)If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system is not fixed to all three anchorages,
it will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
88)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint system
is correctly fixed to the brackets when you
hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning that
the Manufacturer must supply with the
child restraint system.SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The vehicle is equipped with:
front driver airbag;
passenger front airbag (where
provided);
driver and passenger front side bags
(if present) for pelvis, chest and
shoulder protection (Side bags);
side bags (if present) for head
protection of front seat passengers and
rear side seat passengers (window
bag).
The location of the airbags on the
vehicle is marked by the word "AIR
BAG" in the middle of the steering
wheel, on the dashboard, on the side
trim or on a label placed next to the
airbag deployment area.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver and passenger airbags
(where present) protect the front seat
occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the cushion between the
occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.The non-activation of airbags in other
types of collisions (side impacts, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc...) (if present)
therefore does not indicate a system
malfunction.
Driver and passenger front airbags
(where present) are not a replacement
of but complementary to the seat belts,
which should always be worn, as
specified by law in Europe and most
non-European countries.
In the event of impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The
protection offered by the bag is
compromised in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
vehicle wedging under other
vehicles or protective barriers (e.g.
trucks or guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact that
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.

SAFETY

104)The airbag does not replace seat
belts but increases their efficiency.
Because front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions,
rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are
protected, in addition to any side bags,
only by their seat belts, which must
therefore always be fastened.
