KNOWING YOUR CAR

the space-saver wheel as soon as
possible; if possible remove the snow
chains; make sure that the load is
distributed correctly and repeat the
RESET procedure, driving on a clean
and surfaced road. If the signals persist,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
62)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
63)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
64)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
65)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™5"or7" HD
system.66)If the iTPMS system signals a pressure
decrease on the tyres, it is recommended
to check the pressure on all four tyres.
67)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
68)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold
69)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
70)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
71)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
IMPORTANT
29)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
30)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.31)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
32)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
33)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
34)Do not tamper nor operate on the radar
sensor. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
35)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™5"or7" HDsystem.
36)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.

SAFETY

IMPORTANT NOTES
IMPORTANT In some circumstances,
such as with ice, snow or mud on the
surface of the camera, the camera
sensitivity may be reduced.
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
133)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
60)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.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
134) 135)
For towing caravans or trailers the
vehicle must be fitted with an approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Should aftermarket installation
be requested, this must be carried out
by specialists.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that, when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight
of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the
vehicle tow hook reduces the vehicle's
loading capacity by the same amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.
