RECOGNITION

the presence of stickers on the

sensors can adversely affect the

correct operation of the system.

Therefore, take care not to place

stickers on the sensors.

The TSR (Traffic Sign Recognition)

system is a driver assistance system

capable of indicating the plausible road

limits.

The system can recognise both

unconditional speed limits and those in

rain, snow and fog (shown only when

they apply).

50) The sensors must be clean of mud,

dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to

operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch

or damage the sensors while cleaning

them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard

cloths. The sensors should be washed

using clean water with the addition of car

shampoo if necessary. When using special

washing equipment such as high pressure

jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors

very quickly keeping the jet more than 10

cm away.

51) Only have the bumper repainted or

any retouches to the paintwork in the

area of the sensors carried out by a Fiat

Dealership. Incorrect paint application

could affect the operation of the parking

sensors.

NOTE The rain, fog or snow type limits

fig. 174 are only displayed if these

conditions are likely to occur, i.e. if the

windscreen wipers (in case of rain),

the fog lights/fog lights (in case of fog)

or the windscreen wipers with low

external temperature (in case of snow)

are activated.

INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY

The display will show the following

information:

Where available, a speed limit of

these types represents the applicable

road limit, always visible at the top of

each screen fig. 173;

Road limits in other categories (e.g.

time restrictions, exit signs, etc.) and

the prohibition of overtaking are only

visible in the "Driver Assist" screen the

instrument panel (see the "Display"

chapter in the "Knowing the instrument

panel" section).

new sign, the TSR symbol will become

coloured again.

Therefore, it can provide the implicit

limits (e.g. the general speed limit on

motorways) and to supplement with

maps the limitations of recognition of

road signs on the camera alone.

The navigator/Connected Services tells

the system of the unit of measurement

in force in the country in which

you are travelling and converts the

value consistently with the unit of

measurement selected by the user.

In this way, the speed limitation

suggested by the ISA system or the

speed offered by the IACC system will

always be correct, regardless of the

unit of measurement chosen by the

driver.

New limit notice setting

The system alerts the driver when

the speed limit changes on the road

ahead by means of a display on the

instrument cluster.

Acting on the Uconnect™ system, the

following settings can be chosen: "Off",

"Visual" and "Visual + Acoustic".

WARNING In the absence of a

navigator/Connected Services, the

system cannot recognise the unit of

measurement of the country you are

travelling in, but only the numerical

value of the road sign encountered

along the road. The speed limit

suggested and offered to Intelligent

Speed Assist (ISA) and Intelligent

Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC) systems

(where active) is therefore intended

according to the unit of measurement

set by the user on the instrument

panel display. Therefore, for the

ISA and the IACC to be of practical

help in complying with the limits in

force, the driver must set the unit of

measurement consistent with the

country in which they are travelling.

WARNING The selected setting

remains active each time the motor is

started.
