Driving
Brake system operational.
(e.g. sensor initialization, board voltage out of
regular range, activation of stability system).
Therefore, the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.
Operation
This warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel without any additional
message, to indicate that the automatic braking
system is not available.
This is a normal behavior indicating that a
condition is not fulfilled and which does not
request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is
recommended, for instance:
Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen
by the driver, different levels of alert may be
triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle
dynamics, the difference speed of the own
vehicle and the object identified for the
collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle
(e.g. actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to
trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.
(orange)
It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.
The driver must not overload the vehicle
(keep within the GVW limit and load
height limits for roof bars).
Following an impact (e.g. a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.
Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a
qualified workshop.
– Towing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its
own braking system).
Level 1: visual alert only, warning that the
preceding vehicle is very close.
– Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
– Driving with snow chains.
– Using an automatic car wash.
– Performing any maintenance (e.g. changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
– Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
The message "Vehicle close" is displayed.
(red)
Level 2: visual and audible alert, warning
that a collision is imminent.
Collision Risk Alert
This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
The message "Brake!" is displayed.
While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed
directly.
Important: the level 1 alert depends on the
trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically
at lower speed.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
– Towing the vehicle.
This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.
The threshold is set via the vehicle
configuration menu with the audio
system or touch screen.
– Following a front bumper deformation.
– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system diagnoses permanently its
capability and may inhibit itself without
specific driver indication, if the system is
outside of the regular operating conditions
► Select one of the three pre-defined
thresholds: "Far", "Normal" or "Close".
