the fault persist, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE
DRIVING
The device may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below):
the driver must control the vehicle at all
times.
Towing a trailer
Use of the device is not recommended
while towing a trailer.
Vehicle not aligned
The device may not detect a vehicle
travelling on the same lane but which is
not aligned along the same direction of
travel or a vehicle which is cutting in
from a side lane. Sufficient distance
from the vehicles ahead may not be
guaranteed in these cases.
The non-aligned vehicle can weave in
and out of the driving direction causing
the vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering and curves
On curves fig. 124 with the device set,
it could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability even if no
vehicles are detected ahead.
When leaving the curve, the device
resets the previously set speed.
IMPORTANT In case of narrow curves,
the performance of the device could be
limited. In this case, it is advisable to
deactivate the device.
Using the device on slopes
When driving on roads with variable
gradient, the device may not detect the
presence of a vehicle on the lane.
Device performance could be limited
according to speed, load, traffic
conditions and gradient steepness.
Lane change
The device may not detect the
presence of a vehicle until it is fully in
your lane.
In this case, sufficient distance from the
vehicle which is changing lane may not
be guaranteed: it is advisable to pay the
utmost attention at all times and be
always ready to press the brakes if
needed.
Small vehicles
Some narrow vehicles (e.g. bicycles
and motorcycles fig. 126 ) travelling
near the outer edges of the lane or
which enter the lane from kerbside are
not detected until they are fully in the
lane.
