2018 FIAT 124 SPIDER parking sensors

SETTING A DESIRED
SPEED
Proceed as follows:
press the ON switch to turn the
system on;
press the SET/- to set the speed.
When the current vehicle speed is
30 km/h or more, the speed is set to
the current vehicle speed. When the
current vehicle speed is less than
30 km/h, the speed is set to 30 km/h;
to increase the set speed: press
the RES/+ switch continuously.To
decrease the set speed: press the
SET/- switch continuously.
NOTE When the vehicle set speed is
displayed in the instrument cluster,
press the RES/+ switch to set the
displayed vehicle speed.
NOTE The vehicle speed may exceed
the set speed on a down slope.
TEMPORARILY
CANCELLING THE
SYSTEM
The system is temporarily cancelled
(stand-by status) when any of the
following operations is done while the
speed limiter is displayed:
OFF/CAN switch is pressed;
accelerator pedal is strongly
depressed.
Press the RES/+ switch to resume the
operation at the previous set speed.The set speed can be set by pressing
the SET/- switch while the system is in
stand-by status.
WARNING
148)Always turn off the system when
changing drivers. If the driver is changed
and the new driver is unaware of the speed
limiter function, the vehicle may not
accelerate when the driver depresses the
accelerator pedal, leading to an accident.
149)Always verify the safety of the
surrounding area and keep a safer distance
between vehicles ahead and behind you
when setting the speed limiter. If the speed
is set lower than the current vehicle speed,
the vehicle speed is decreased to the set
speed.
PARKING SENSOR
SYSTEM
(where provided)
150) 151)
26) 27) 28)
The parking sensor system uses
4 ultrasonic sensors (2 rear sensors and
2 rear corner sensors) fig. 93 to detect
obstructions around the vehicle while
parking the vehicle in a garage or
during parallel parking when the shift
lever (manual transmission)/selector
lever (automatic transmission) is in
reverse (R).

SENSOR DETECTION
RANGE
The sensors detect obstructions within
the following range:
Lateral detection range: about
50 cm
Rear detection range: about
150 cm
SYSTEM OPERATION
When the ignition is switched ON and
the shift lever (manual transmission)/
selector lever (automatic transmission)
is shifted to the reverse (R), the beep
sound activates and the system is
enabled for use.
WARNING
150)Do not rely completely on the parking
sensor system and be sure to confirm the
safety around your vehicle visually when
driving. This system can assist the driver in
operating the vehicle in the forward and
backward directions while parking. The
detection ranges of the sensors are limited,
therefore, driving the vehicle while relying
only on the system may cause an accident.
Always confirm the safety around your
vehicle visually when driving.
151)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 drive into. 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
26)Only have interventions on the bumper
in the area of the sensors carried out by a
Fiat Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.
27)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.
28)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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

IMPORTANT
29)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.
TOWING TRAILERS
Your car is not designed for towing.

STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING
158)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
159)Always adjust the picture quality of
the rear view monitor while the vehicle is
stopped: do not adjust the picture quality
of the rear view monitor while driving the
vehicle. Adjusting the picture quality of the
rear view monitor such as brightness,
contrast, color, and tint while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could distract
your attention from the vehicle operation
which could lead to an accident.
