The warning light built into the switch
will turn on to remind the diver that the
system is deactivated.
Press it again and the system will be
reactivated and the warning light will go
off.
Depending on the vehicle type, you can
deactivate the function from the
multi-media display screen.
Forced system deactivation
You can deactivate the system
definitively by pressing button 2 for a
long time.
The integrated warning light in the
switch stays on permanently.
The deactivated system can be
reactivated by pressing the button
again for a long time.Irregular operation
Depending on the versions, when the
system detects irregular operation, an
appropriate message will appear on the
instrument panel along with the alarm
warning light
and an acoustic
signal going off every 5 seconds.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
52)This function is an auxiliary driving aid
with acoustic signals to indicate that you
are approaching an obstacle while
manoeuvring. However, this does exempt
the driver from normal driving alertness nor
from liability in the event of an accident
while manoeuvring. The driver must always
be ready to face any unexpected situations
that could occur when driving. Before
starting a manoeuvre, specifically check for
any moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, bicycle, stone, pole, etc.) or
obstacles in the blind spot that are too
small to be detected.
53)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 take. 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
12)If the vehicle collides with something
when in reverse (for example against a
stake, a curbstone or any other street
furniture) you could damage the vehicle (for
example, bend an axle). To prevent any risk
of accident, have the vehicle checked at a
Fiat Dealership.
13)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.
14)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 Radar parking operation.

REAR CAMERA
Operation
54)
15)
When in reverse, video camera 1
fig. 101 located on the tailgate or on the
rear swing door, depending on the
version, lets you view the area behind
the vehicle on the inside rear-view
mirror 2 fig. 102 or on the multi-media
display panel 3 fig. 103, along with one
or two outlines 4 fig. 104 and 5
fig. 104 (moving and stationary).
NOTE Check that the rear view video
camera is not covered up (dirt, mud,
snow, condensation, etc.).NOTE Depending on the versions,
adjust a few of the parameters on the
multi-media display panel 3 fig. 103.
Moving shape 4 (depending on the
vehicle): is represented in blue on the
multi-media display panel 3fig. 103.It
indicates the vehicle's trajectory
according to the steering wheel
position.Stationary shape 5: the stationary
shape consists of coloured references
A, B and C fig. 104 that indicate the
distance behind the vehicle:
A (red) about 30 centimetres from the
vehicle;
B (yellow) about 70 centimetres from
the vehicle;
C (green) about 150 centimetres
from the vehicle.
This shape remains stationary and
indicates the vehicle's trajectory if the
wheels are aligned.
This system is initially used by making
use of one or more shapes (moving for
the trajectory, stationary for the
distance). When you get to the red
zone, use the bumper representation to
stop accurately.
IMPORTANT The display will show a
reversed image. The outlines are a
representation projected onto a flat
surface.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Do not consider this information if it is
superimposed onto a vertical object or
an object on the ground. The items that
appear on the edge of the screen can
be distorted. If the light is too bright
(snow, vehicle is in sunshine) the video
camera's vision can be disrupted.
When the rear doors are open or not
closed properly, the dedicated message
appears and, depending on the vehicle,
the video camera image disappears.
WARNING
54)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.
IMPORTANT
15)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any 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. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
ELECTRIC WINDOWS

105T36560
57

IMPORTANT Do not place objects on a
partly closed window: it could damage
the window.
Press functions
Depending on the versions, this mode
is an additional function to the electric
window described earlier. It concerns
only the driver's window. Briefly press
down or lift up switch 1 fig. 107: the
window either lowers or raises
completely. Any further action on the
switch stops the window movement.NOTE If the window encounters any
resistance during closing (for example a
tree branch, etc.) it stops and lowers a
few centimetres again.
Irregular operation
If the window closing fails to function,
the system moves to no pressure
mode: pull the concerned switch up as
much as needed until the window
closes completely (the window goes
back up gradually); then keep the
switch pulled up (always on the closing
side) for a second, then lower it and
raise it back up completely to reinstate
the system.
If necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Rear sliding windows:
57)
Use the handle 4 fig. 108 and run the
window to the desired stop.
WARNING
55)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
56)When you close the windows, check
that no part of a body (arm, hand, etc.) is
sticking out from the vehicle. Danger of
serious injury.
57)Before manoeuvring it, make sure no
occupant is sticking out of a window or an
open door.

windscreen wiper is in the stopped
position. Risk of injury.
62)In case of a collision, even a light one
like against the cowling or bonnet, have it
checked at a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.63)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the parking brake is engaged.
64)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
IMPORTANT
16)After every intervention in the engine
compartment, make sure you have not left
anything (rags, tools, etc.); basically these
