PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors inform the driver
about the presence of obstacles be-
hind the vehicle.
They are a valid support to identify
fences, walls, poles, plant-pots and
alike, together with children playing
behind the car.
The system uses the four sensors on
the bumper
fig. 171
to detect the dis-
tance between the vehicle and possi-
ble obstacles. When the reverse is en-
gaged, the system is automatically
turned on with a sound signal
(“beep”).
The driver is therefore warned that
the distance between the vehicle and
the rear obstacle is getting reduced by
the increasing of the sound warning
frequency.
The sound warning becomes contin-
uous when the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is lower than
25 cm.
The sound warning stops as soon as
the distance increases. The sequence
of sound warnings remains constant
if the distance is not changed.
If the car features the CONNECT
Nav+ infotelematic system, the park-
ing sensor buzzer will be completed
with graphic information on the colour
display.
IMPORTANT
In the event a the
system failure, the driver is informed
of it by a repeated alarm consisting of
a short sound followed by long one; in
this case contact a
Fiat Dealership
.
If the sensor detects more than one
obstacle, the control unit signals the
obstacle having the shortest distance
from the vehicle.
The airbag is set to be
fired in the event of colli-
sions which are greater
than the pretensioner settings.
Consequently, for collisions in the
bracket between the two thresh-
olds, it is normal for only the pre-
tensioners to be fired.
The air bag does not
substitute the seat belts,
but only increases their
effectiveness. Moreover, since
the air bag does not come into
operation in the event of front
impact at low speed, side colli-
sions, bumps from behind or
overturning, in these circum-
stances the occupants would be
only be protected by the seat
belts which must therefore al-
ways be fastened.
