WARNING It is possible that the
sensor detects a non-existing object
caused by echo disturbance from
external acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false warnings
may occur)
IMPORTANT
WARNING
217) Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always under the driver’s responsibility.
When performing these operations, always
make sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the
route you want to drive into. The parking
sensors are an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.
218) The driver bears full responsibility for
accepting the parking slot suggested by
the system and the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding area in
all directions when using the advanced
parking assist.
219) The search for the parking space
and the parking manoeuvres must be
performed in compliance with the current
regulations of the Highway Code.
220) If you wish to stop the steering wheel
with your hands during a manoeuvre, it is
advisable to handle it firmly on the outer
rim. Do not try and keep your hands on the
inside or hold the spokes.
98) Performance of the system can be
reduced when sensors are covered, e.g.
by ice or snow. Performance of the
parking assist system can be reduced
due to heavy loading. Special conditions
apply if there are taller vehicles in the
vicinity (e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct
distance indication in the upper part of
these vehicles cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of narrow size
or soft materials, may not be detected by
the system. Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the detection range.
99) The operation of the system is based
on various components: front and rear
parking sensors, side sensors, steering
system, wheels, braking system and
instrument panel. The malfunction of one
of these components could compromise
the operation of the system.
WARNING Make sure that the front
number plate is properly mounted (not
bent and no gaps to the bumper on the
left or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
WARNING Advanced parking assist
system may not respond to changes
in the available parking space after
initiating a parking manoeuvre. The
system may recognize an entry,
a gateway, a courtyard or even a
crossing as a parking slot. After
selecting reverse gear the system
will start a parking manoeuvre. Take
care regarding the availability of the
suggested parking slot.
100) 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.
221) Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on objects or
clothing as well as external noise sources
may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles. Special attention must be paid
to low obstacles which can damage the
lower part of the bumper.
WARNING Surface irregularities,
e.g. on construction zones, are not
detected by the system. The driver
accepts responsibility.
