59) The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
60) Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
61) Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the car (e.g. bumper, chassis) may alter
the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
62) Do not tamper with or carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor fault, contact a Fiat Dealership.
63) Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
64) Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may automatically
deactivate and display a warning to indicate
that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even
without a malfunction warning, deactivate
the system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.
MOOD SELECTOR /
DRIVE MODE (drive
mode selector)
(where provided)
This device allows drivers to select
three different driving modes ("car
response") according to their needs and
to the road and traffic conditions, by
manually adjusting the knob ring A
fig. 107 on the central tunnel.
- "Auto" mode
- "Traction" mode (4x4 or
4x2 versions depending on the trim
level)
- "All Weather" mode (only
4x2 versions depending on the trim
level)
- "Sport" mode.
The device, through the on-board
electronic system, operates on the
dynamic control systems of the car:
engine, steering, ESC system,
4x4 system (if available),
gearbox/transmission, and is interfaced
with the instrument panel.
The rotating ring nut is monostable
type. In other words, it always returns
to the central position when released.
