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 the

Uconnect™

7" 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 the

Uconnect™

7" HD

system.

36)

Do not wash with high-pressure jets in

the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
