2022 FIAT 500X ignition

102STARTING AND OPERATING
LANE CHANGING
ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely
in the lane in which you are traveling. In the lane
changing example below, ACC has not yet detected
the vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect
the vehicle until it's too late for the ACC system to
take action. ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is
completely in the lane. There may not be sufficient
distance to the lane-changing vehicle. Always be
attentive and ready to apply the brakes if
necessary.

Lane Changing Example

NARROW VEHICLES
Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer
edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not
detected until they have moved fully into the lane.
There may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead.
Narrow Vehicle Example

STATIONARY OBJECTS AND VEHICLES
ACC does not react to stationary objects or
vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in
situations where the vehicle you are following exits
your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in your
lane. It will consider this stopped vehicle a
stationary object as it did not previously detect
movement from it. Always be attentive and ready
to apply the brakes if necessary.
Stationary Object And Stationary Vehicle Example

FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The Park Assist system provides visual and audible
indications of the distance between the rear and/
or front fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle
when backing up or moving forward (e.g. during a
parking maneuver).
For limitations of this system and
recommendations, see Ú
page 106.
Park Assist will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN
position.
Park Assist is active when the gear selector is
shifted to REVERSE or to a forward gear and an
obstacle is detected, as long as the system is on.
When the gear selector shifted to NEUTRAL (or
PARK in case of automatic gearbox), the system

106STARTING AND OPERATING
Front Park Assist Audible Alerts
Park Assist will turn off the Front Park Assist
audible alert (chime) after approximately three
seconds when an obstacle has been detected, the
vehicle is stationary, and brake pedal is applied. If
the obstacle has been detected within less than
12 inches (30 cm), then the Park Assist will not
turn off the Front Park Assist audible alert.
Adjustable Chime Volume Settings

108STARTING AND OPERATING
LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED
LANESENSE OPERATION
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds
above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a
forward looking camera to detect lane markings
and measure vehicle position within the lane
boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the
driver drifts out of the lane (no turn signal applied),
the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning
in the form of torque applied to the steering wheel
to prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries. If the driver continues to drift out of
the lane, the LaneSense system provides a visual
warning through the instrument cluster display to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic
warning by applying force to the steering wheel at
any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and
the driver drifts across the lane marking (no turn
signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a
visual warning through the instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to remain within the
lane. When only a single lane marking is detected,
a haptic (torque) warning will not be provided.NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the
LaneSense system will monitor if the driver’s
hands are on the steering wheel and provides an
audible warning to the driver if removed. The
system will cancel if the driver does not return their
hands to the wheel.
TURNING LANESENSE ON OR OFF
The LaneSense button is located on the
end of the turn signal stalk, located on
the left side of the steering column.
To turn the LaneSense system on, push the
LaneSense button once. A “Lane Sense On”
message is shown in the instrument cluster
display.
To turn the LaneSense system off, push the
LaneSense button once.
NOTE:The LaneSense system will retain the last system
state (on or off) from the last ignition cycle when
the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN position.
LANESENSE WARNING MESSAGE
The LaneSense system will indicate the current
lane drift condition through the instrument cluster
display.
When the LaneSense system is on, the lane lines
are gray when both of the lane boundaries have
not been detected and the LaneSense telltale is
solid white.

System On (Gray Lines/White Telltale)

22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 108

110STARTING AND OPERATING
When the LaneSense system senses the lane
has been approached and is in a lane departure
situation, the left lane line flashes yellow (on/
off). The LaneSense telltale changes from solid
yellow to flashing yellow. At this time torque is
applied to the steering wheel in the opposite
direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the
lane the steering wheel will turn to the right.

Lane Approached (Flashing Yellow Line/ Flashing Yellow Telltale)

NOTE:The LaneSense system operates with similar
behavior for a right lane departure.
CHANGING LANESENSE STATUS
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust the
intensity of the torque warning and the warning
zone sensitivity (early/late) that you can configure
through the Uconnect system screen Úpage 123.
NOTE:
When enabled the system operates above
37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h).
Use of the turn signal suppresses the warnings.
The system will not apply torque to the steering
wheel whenever a safety system engages.
(Anti-Lock Brakes, Traction Control System,
Electronic Stability Control, Full Brake Control
system, etc.).
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera allows you to
see an on-screen image of the rear surroundings of
your vehicle when the gear selector is put into
REVERSE. The image will be displayed on the
touchscreen display along with a note to “Check
Entire Surroundings” across the top of the screen.
After five seconds this note will disappear. The
ParkView camera is located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear license plate.
Back Up Camera Location

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE with
camera delay turned off, the rear camera mode is
exited and the navigation or audio screen appears
again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE with
camera delay turned on, the camera image will
continue to be displayed for up to 10 seconds
unless the vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/
h), the vehicle is shifted into PARK, or the ignition
is placed in the OFF position.
A touchscreen button to disable the camera is
available when the vehicle is not in REVERSE.
Display of the camera image after shifting out of
REVERSE can be disabled via Uconnect Settings.
When enabled, active guidelines are overlaid on
the image to illustrate the width of the vehicle and
its projected backup path based on the steering
wheel position.

Blind Spot Assist When the Blind Spot Assist feature is selected, the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
system is activated and shows a visual alert in the outside mirrors, or it shows
a visual alert in the outside mirrors and sounds an audible alert when the turn
signal is on. When “Off” is selected, the BSM system is deactivated. If your
vehicle has experienced any damage in the area where the sensor is located,
even if the fascia/bumper is not damaged, the sensor may have become
misaligned. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to verify sensor
alignment. A sensor that is misaligned results in the BSM not operating to
specification.
Rear View Camera Delay The Rear View Camera Delay setting determines whether or not the screen
displays the rear view image with dynamic grid lines for up to 10 seconds after
the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE. This delay is canceled if the vehicle’s
speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted into PARK, or the
ignition is switched to the OFF position.
Active Rear View Camera Guidelines The Active Rear View Camera Guidelines feature overlays the Rear View
Camera image with active, or dynamic, grid lines to help illustrate the width of
the vehicle and its projected backup path, based on the steering wheel
position when the option is checked. A dashed center line overlay indicates
the center of the vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a hitch/receiver.
Rain Sensing Wipers This setting will allow you to turn the rain sensing wipers on or off.
