when driving in the hills or on roads
with narrow turns;
near motorway toll-gates;
when the motorway entrance or exit
is more than 6 meters wide;
immediately regain control of the car
at any time. Failure to observe these
instructions can cause severe injuries with
even lethal consequences.
160) The Co-Driver 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.
153) The device does not always fully
recognise complicated driving conditions
which could cause incorrect or non-
existing determination of the safe distance
to be held.
154) When driving on two-way roads
where there is no lane dividing centre line
(e.g. on country roads), the use of the
ACC and Co-Driver systems is strongly
discouraged as this system could detect
the entire carriageway as single-lane
dividing lines.
if the camera is exposed to dazzling
light (e.g. reflection or direct sunlight).
IMPORTANT
161) If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Fiat Dealership.
Do not replace the windscreen on your
own, risk of malfunction! It is advisable to
replace the windscreen if it is damaged in
the area of the camera.
162) Driving the car on urban routes could
significantly change the sensitivity of the
system, due to the limited and/or lack of
vertical and horizontal signs and variable
traffic conditions.
163) External factors and conditions
may affect the proper operation of the
Co-Driver system: damage or obstructions
caused by mud, ice, snow, etc., damaged
or misaligned bumpers, interference
with other equipment that causes
155) Do not place any objects on the
steering wheel (e.g. steering wheel covers
of any type or material) which could
interfere with the capacitive hand detection
sensor on the steering wheel.
156) Many unpredictable situations can
arise, affecting the performance of Co-
Driver system. The driver must be ready to
react immediately and take control of the
car in place of Co-Driver system.
157) If the car approaches a bend that is
too tight with respect to the current speed,
the Co-Driver system turns off. The driver
must therefore be ready to immediately
regain control of the car at any time. To
avoid this situation it is important that the
car speed set does not exceed the current
road speed limit.
158) The Co-Driver system uses a hands
on steering wheel detection sensor:
the driver must keep his hands on the
steering wheel at all times. If the hands
are removed from the steering wheel
for a certain period of time, the system
disengages.
148) Pay the utmost attention while driving
at all times and be always ready to press
the brakes if needed.
149) 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.
150) The system is an aid for car driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about
incoming cars outside of the detection
areas. The driver must always maintain
a sufficient level of attention to the traffic
and road conditions and for controlling the
trajectory of the vehicle.
151) The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
152) The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
electromagnetic waves.
164) The maximum breaking applied by
the device is limited. The driver may apply
the brakes in all cases if needed.
165) If the device predicts that the level
of braking is not sufficient to maintain
the set distance, the word “BRAKE!” or
a dedicated message on the instrument
panel display warns the driver that the
vehicle ahead is too close. An acoustic
signal is also emitted. In this case, it
159) When using Co-Driver system, hold
the steering wheel and consider the
road conditions and surrounding traffic.
The driver must therefore be ready to
