the tow hook socket of the car. In this
case, the LED on the button on the
dashboard fig. 105 is on. The sensors
are automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
Versions with 8 sensors
The operation of the rear sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electric cable plug is inserted in
the tow hook socket of the car, while
the front sensors stay active and can
provide acoustic and visual warnings. In
this case, the LED on the button on the
dashboard fig. 105 stay off. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer's cable plug is
removed.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint, on the surface of the sensor;
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 sensor can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle;
parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by changing
tyres, overloading the car or fitting
specific trims that require the car to be
lowered;
the presence of a tow hook without
trailer, which may interfere with the
correct operation of the rear parking
sensors. Before using the Park Assist
system, it is recommended to remove
the tow hook ball assembly and the
relevant attachment from the vehicle
when the latter is not used for towing
operations. Failure to comply with this
prescription may cause personal injuries
or damage to vehicles or obstacles
since, when the continuous acoustic
warning is emitted, the tow hook ball is
already in a position that is much closer
to the obstacle than the rear bumper. If
you wish to leave the tow hook fitted
without towing a trailer, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership for the
relevant Park Assist system update
operations because the tow hook couldbe detected as an obstacle by the
central sensors.
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to
place stickers on the sensors.
WARNING
129)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
54)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.
