Fiat 500 X 2016, Owner'S Manual

Page: 321 / 608

NOTE:
•
If the “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocked” message occurs frequently (e.g. more than
once on every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or
other obstruction, have the radar sensor realigned at
your authorized dealer.
•
Installing a snow plow, front-end protector, an after-
market grille or modifying the grille is not recom-
mended. Doing so may block the sensor and inhibit
Brake Control operation.
Precautions While Driving With Brake Control
In certain driving conditions, such as:
•
Driving in the vicinity of a curve
•
Small vehicles and/or not aligned to the lane
•
Lane changing of other vehicles
•
Passing of vehicles in an oncoming intersection
The intervention of the system could be unexpected or
delayed. The driver must therefore always pay particular
attention, while maintaining control of the car to drive in
complete safety.
Driving In The Vicinity Of A Curve
Entering or exiting a large curve, the system could detect
the presence of a vehicle that is in front of the car, but that
does not preside in the same lane. In cases such as this,
the system might respond.
