Starting And Operating -> Traffic Sign Recognition System for Your Fiat 500 E 4 Door Second Generation (2020-2024)

76 STARTING AND OPERATING  
While the system is in the “Ready” state, the driver  
must press the SET (+), SET (–), or RES button to  
engage the system. When the system is fully engaged  
and detects the current speed limit using the TSA  
system, the message in the instrument cluster display  
will indicate the new detected speed limit by suggesting  
the driver to press "RES" to accept it.  
NOTE:  
DEACTIVATION  
The TSR system will automatically display the road  
sign detected in the unit of measurement (mph or  
km/h) selected within Uconnect Settings or within  
the instrument cluster display.  
The system can be deactivated under the following  
conditions. A message will appear in the instrument  
cluster display to confirm that the feature has been  
turned off.  
If no speed limit signs are detected, the system will  
revert to the speed limit signs that are stored in the  
Navigation system.  
When the Active Speed Limiter Button is pressed.  
When the TSR system is deactivated.  
If the detected speed sign is greater than the current  
set speed, an up arrow will be displayed too. If the  
detected speed sign is lower than the current set  
speed, a down arrow will be displayed instead. If the  
driver accepts the new suggested speed sign, the  
indicator light will change to green.  
The system always checks the traffic signs indicating  
the current speed limit signs. The system is able to  
recognize and display up to 3 different road signs in  
the instrument cluster display.  
When the TSR system shows a new speed limit  
which is not confirmed by the driver.  
When the TSR system shows the end of a speed  
limit.  
The system will resume the last settings enabled  
when the engine is shut off and turned back on.  
Pushing the SET (+) or SET (–) button on the right of the  
steering wheel will raise and lower the set speed to a  
desired value above or below the set ISA speed.  
Pushing and holding down the SET (+) or SET (–) button  
will increase/decrease the speed value by increments  
of 5 mph (5 km/h).  
When the TSR system cannot display any speed  
limit.  
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION  
ISA can also be deactivated by pressing the CANC  
button. In this case, the ISA system is not completely  
turned off, and the driver can reactivate the system by  
pressing the RES button.  
The TSR System can be enabled/disabled within the  
Uconnect system through the Safety/Driver Assistance  
menu. System ON is signaled by road signs shown on  
the instrument cluster display.  
NOTE:  
The Cruise Control (if equipped) and Adaptive Cruise  
Control (if equipped) systems will be unavailable while  
the ISA system is in use.  
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION SYSTEM  
The Traffic Sign Reconition (TSR) system uses a camera  
mounted on the windshield, as well as map data  
when the vehicle is equipped with Navigation, to detect  
recognizable road signs such as:  
When the TSR system is turned OFF, the system will not  
show any traffic signs.  
When the Speed Limiter or Adaptive Cruise Control is  
engaged, it will display the appropriate road speed limit  
(whether it’s a standard limit or adjusted for rain/snow/  
foggy conditions). You can accept this displayed speed  
as the setting for Intelligent Speed Assist, or you can  
use it for Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control by pressing  
the RES button.  
EXCEEDING THE SET SPEED  
By fully pressing the accelerator pedal, the maximum  
set speed can be exceeded while the system is active.  
Speed limits  
When the maximum set speed is exceeded, the green  
indicator light will blink and the instrument cluster  
display will show an override message for five seconds,  
or until the accelerator pedal is released.  
Speed limits with restrictions  
No passing zones  
NOTE:  
The TSR system cannot provide an applicable speed  
limit in the following cases:

cator will appear on the display.  
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY  
Fog  
Detected traffic signs are shown in the instrument  
cluster display, and can display any combination of  
signs at one time (e.g. speed limit, speed limit and  
supplemental info, and “Do Not Pass” signs) depending  
on what information is available.  
Speed Limit Exceeded  
When the vehicle speed exceeds the displayed speed  
limit by 3 mph (5 km/h), the speed limit sign on the  
instrument cluster display will show a red outline to  
alert the driver.  
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION WARNING  
MODES  
TSR warning has three selectable modes of operation  
that are available through the Uconnect system.

CAUTION!  
Traffic Sign Assist is designed to assist the driver  
and is not a substitute for the driver. It is  
always the driver’s responsibility to continue to  
monitor the speed limit and vehicle speed, and to  
operate the vehicle in a manner safe for the road  
conditions.  
Visual  
When Visual is selected, the system will alert the  
driver when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds  
the detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the  
instrument cluster display.  
Functionality may be limited or the system may not  
work if the sensor is obstructed.  
Visual + Chime  
When Visual + Chime is selected, the system will  
alert the driver when the current speed of the vehicle  
exceeds the detected speed limit by showing a graphic  
in the instrument cluster display, and by sounding an  
audible alert. The visual alert will remain on as long as  
the vehicle is exceeding the speed limit.  
Traffic Signs Recognized  
The system may have limited operation or not  
work at all in weather conditions such as heavy  
rain, hail, and thick fog. Strong light contrasts can  
influence the recognition capability of the sensor.  
1 — Current Speed Limit Detected  
2 — No Passing Zone Detected  
3 — Current Speed Limit With Supplemental  
Information (School Zone)  
The area surrounding the sensor must not be  
covered with stickers or any other object.  
Supplemental Information  
NOTE:  
(Continued)  
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the TSR  
system, the radio is also muted.  
Supplemental information may be displayed along  
with a newly detected speed limit, indicating special

CAUTION!  
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS — IF  
EQUIPPED  
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise Control  
system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system:  
Do not tamper or perform any operations in the  
area of the windshield glass directly surrounding  
the sensor.  
Clean foreign matters such as bird droppings,  
insects, snow or ice on the windshield. Use  
specific detergents and clean cloths to avoid  
scratching the windshield.  
Cruise Control will keep your vehicle at a constant  
preset speed.  
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will adjust the vehicle  
speed up to the preset speed to maintain a distance  
with the vehicle ahead.  
NAVIGATION SYSTEM INTEGRATION  
Cruise Control Buttons  
The TSR system combines the data captured by the  
camera with information from the navigation system.  
This integration allows it to offer default speed limits,  
such as the general speed limit on highways, and to  
complement camera-based road sign recognition with  
map data.  
NOTE:  
1 — On/Off  
In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not enabled,  
Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not detect vehicles  
directly ahead of you. Always be aware of the feature  
selected.  
2 — CANC/Cancel  
3 — SET (+)/Accel  
4 — RES/Resume  
5 — SET (-)/Decel  
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at a  
time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise Control is  
enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will be unavailable,  
and vice versa.  
The navigation system communicates the  
WARNING!  
measurement unit used in the country you're in and  
converts it to match your user-selected preference.  
This ensures that the speed limits suggested by  
the Intelligent Speed Assist system and the speeds  
provided by the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control  
system are always accurate, regardless of your chosen  
measurement unit.  
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system  
cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could  
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose  
control and have an accident. Do not use Cruise  
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,  
icy, snow-covered or slippery.  
CRUISE CONTROL  
When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over  
accelerator operations at speeds greater than 20 mph  
(30 km/h).  
The system can also display road signs in accordance  
with the current standards in the country you're  
traveling through. By leveraging the data in the  
navigator, the system can identify various scenarios,  
like highway, urban, and non-urban settings, and use  
the navigator's limits to provide the most accurate  
speed limits. Additionally, it can recognize curves and,  
when necessary, use the limit detected by the
