ASSISTANCE

SYSTEMS

83) The system cannot overrule the natural

laws of physics, and cannot increase the

grip available according to the condition of

the road.

84) The system cannot prevent accidents,

including those due to excessive speed

on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or

aquaplaning.

85) The capability of the system must

never be tested irresponsibly and

dangerously, in such a way as to

compromise personal safety and the

safety of others.

86) For the correct operation of the

system, the tyres must of necessity be

the same make and type on all wheels, in

perfect condition and, above all, of the

prescribed type and dimensions.

87) The features must not induce the

driver to take unnecessary or unwarranted

risks. Your driving style must always be

suited to the road conditions, visibility

and traffic. The driver is, in any case,

responsible for safe driving.

88) If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels

may be liable to lock due to braking that

is heavier than normal. The advantages

of ABS are no longer available. During

hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be

steered and may swerve.

89) Do not leave the vehicle while it is

being held temporarily by Hill Start Assist.

If someone needs to get out of the vehicle

with the engine running, apply the parking

brake manually. Then check that the lamp

general safety regulations, some driving

assistance systems are automatically

reactivated at the next vehicle start.

AUTOMATIC BRAKING

SYSTEM

(where provided)

The Automatic Braking System may

help to avoid or reduce the harm

caused by front-end crashes.

Activation

The Automatic Braking System

operates from 5 km/h to 140 km/h.

Alerting the driver

The driver is warned by following alerts:

A warning message is displayed in

the instrument panel display, when the

distance to the vehicle ahead gets too

small.

A warning message is displayed in

the instrument panel display and a

warning chime sounds, when a collision

is imminent and immediate driver's

action is required.

124

F6S0058

The Automatic Braking System uses

the front camera in the windscreen and

depending on the vehicle configuration

a radar unit located behind the front

bumper to detect vehicles, cyclists and

pedestrians directly ahead, in the path

(fig. 124).

Selecting the alert sensitivity

Three alert sensitivities can be

selected in the settings of the active

emergency braking within the vehicle

personalisation

the windscreen is damaged or

affected by foreign objects, e.g.

stickers

the bumper is damaged or affected

by foreign objects, e.g. license plate

support

Functionality

Depending on the vehicle configuration

and the detected objects, there are

several operational speed ranges.

On vehicles equipped only with front

camera, the active emergency braking

operates from 5 km/h to 85 km/h when

a vehicle is detected.

The chosen setting will be memorised

when the ignition has been switched

off. The alert timing will vary based on

selected alert setting.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING

Active emergency braking can help to

reduce the damage and injury from

crashes with vehicles and pedestrians

directly ahead, when the driver does

not actively take action either by

manual braking or by steering.

Deactivation

Depending on version, deactivation is

only possible at a standstill.

On vehicles equipped with radar

sensor and front camera, the active

emergency braking operates from 5

km/h to 85 km/h when a stationary

vehicle is detected or up to 140 km/h if

a moving vehicle or from 5 km/h to 82

km/h when a pedestrian or cyclist is

detected.

The system can only be deactivated

by deactivating the active emergency

braking in the vehicle personalisation.

When ignition is switched on next time,

system is activated.

For vehicles equipped with camera and

radar, active emergency braking also

detects cyclists.

System limitations

Automatic Braking System is designed

to warn on vehicles, pedestrians and

cyclists, but may react also to other

objects.

Active emergency braking only works

when:

Before the active emergency braking

applies, the driver may be warned by

the Automatic Braking System.

Active emergency braking can

be deactivated in the vehicle

personalisation. If deactivated

pedestrian.

the legal safety distance is not kept. To

reduce the number of alerts, select a

shorter alert sensitivity setting.

cannot be applied if there is a risk of a

further collision.

Alerting the driver

Emergency automatic braking is

designed to react on vehicles or

pedestrians ahead. If the vehicle is

equipped with camera and radar, it

also reacts on cyclists ahead.

Depending on version, below a speed

of 30 km/h or 50 km/h, automatic

braking may slow down the vehicle to a

complete stop. If the speed exceeds

this limit, automatic braking reduces

the speed. However, the driver must

apply the brake to come to a complete

stop.

NOTE Three alert sensitivities can

be selected in the driver assistance

systems menu in the vehicle

personalisation menu ("Settings" >

"Vehicle"> "Vehicle access") in the

Connect system.

The driver is warned by following alerts:

Level 1: a warning message is

displayed in the instrument panel, when

the distance to the vehicle ahead gets

too small

Level 2: a warning message is

displayed in the instrument panel and a

warning chime sounds, when a collision

is imminent and immediate driver's

action is required

NOTE The chosen setting will be

memorised when the ignition has been

switched off. The alert sensitivity will

vary based on selected alert setting.

Level 3: depending on version, the

vehicle may produce a short brake

jerk to confirm the risk of collision. The

immediate driver's action is required

Brake preparation system

When approaching a vehicle ahead or a

pedestrian so quickly that a collision

is likely, the brake preparation system

slightly pressurises the brakes. This

reduces the response time, when

braking is requested.

If the vehicle comes to a complete

stop, automatic braking is maintained

for a certain time. Keep the brake pedal

depressed to prevent the vehicle from

starting off again.

WARNING When approaching a vehicle

ahead too rapidly, a level 2 alert may

be displayed without a level 1 alert

before.

Cruise control will be deactivated when

an emergency automatic braking

occurs.

The pressurisation of the brakes may

produce a noise in the brake system.

Automatic braking

In some cases, the driver may wish

to override the automatic braking

provided by the active emergency

braking system. Firmly apply the

accelerator pedal or firmly turn

the steering wheel to override the

automatic braking if the situation and

the surroundings permit.

WARNING Level 1 alerts depend on

the alert sensitivity set. This alert type

is only displayed in case of moving

vehicles. At lower speed it is disabled.

35)

Just before the imminent collision, this

function automatically applies braking

to reduce the impact speed of the

collision or prohibit a crash.

Selecting the alert sensitivity

If active emergency braking is applied,

After adjusting tyre pressure initialise

system to extinguish the control

indicator and restart system.

If the trajectory of the vehicle suggests

a certain level of drowsiness or

inattention by the driver, the system

triggers the first level of alert. The driver

is notified by a message and an audible

signal is given.

If the failure continues to be displayed,

contact a Fiat Dealership. The system

is inoperable when the ABS or Dynamic

Stability Control has a malfunction

or a temporary spare wheel is used.

Once the tyre has been refitted, check

the tyre pressure with cold tyres and

initialise the system.

After three first level alerts, the system

triggers a new alert with a message,

accompanied by a more pronounced

audible signal.

System initialisation

In certain driving conditions such as

poor road surface or strong winds etc.,

the system may give alerts independent

of the driver's level of vigilance.

The driver drowsiness detection is

reinitialised in the following situations:

the ignition has been switched off for

a few minutes

the speed remains below 65 km/h for

a few minutes

the driver's seat belt has been

unfastened and the driver's door has

been opened

After tyre pressure correction or wheel

change, the system must be initialised

to learn new circumference reference

values:

TYRE UNDERINFLATION

DETECTION SYSTEM

101) 102) 103) 104)

The Tyre Underinflation Detection

System continually checks the rotation

speed of all four wheels and warns

on low tyre pressure condition once

vehicle is driving. This is achieved by

comparing tyre rolling circumference

with reference values and further

signals.

Always ensure that all four tyres have

correct tyre pressure.

Apply parking brake.

objects on the road may not be detected.

After a sudden lane change, the system

needs a certain time to detect the next

preceding vehicle. The driver must always

be ready to take action and apply the

brakes and steer to avoid collisions.

95) If the car must be placed on a roller

bench for maintenance or if it is washed in

an automatic car wash 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™

10.25"/10.25" NAV system.

96) The radar (if installed) is provided

with defrosting system. For this reason,

it can reach high temperatures in some

conditions. If you need to operate in the

zone surrounding the sensor, wait for at

least 30 seconds from when the engine is

switched off.

97) This system is not intended to replace

the driver's responsibility for driving the

vehicle and looking ahead. It warns the

driver if the vehicle is at risk of a collision

with the preceding vehicle, a pedestrian

or a cyclist. Just before the imminent

collision, it reduces the vehicle's speed to

avoid a collision or to limit its severity.

98) The usage of a license plate support

on the front bumper may affect the proper

radar unit functionality. When using a

license plate support, follow the markings

and indications on the front bumper.

99) Front pedestrian braking does not

provide an alert or automatically brake

the vehicle, unless it detects a pedestrian.

The system may not detect pedestrians,

including children, when the pedestrian

90) 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.

91) 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.

92) The capability of the system must

never be tested irresponsibly and

dangerously, in such a way as to

compromise personal safety and the

safety of others.

93) If the driver presses the accelerator

pedal fully or steers abruptly during

system operation, the automatic braking

function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible

manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).

94) The system may also react on animals.

However, animals smaller than 0.5 m or

After initialisation system automatically

calibrates to new tyre pressures during

driving. After longer drive the system

will adopt and monitor new pressures.

The Tyre Underinflation Detection

signals the driver a possible insufficient

pressure if this falls below the warning

limit for any reason.

Always check tyre pressure with cold

tyres.

The system will not warn

instantaneously on a tyre blow out or a

rapid deflation.

This is due to requires calculation time.

System has to be reinitialised when:

Tyre pressure has been changed

Load condition has been changed

Wheels have been swapped or

exchanged
