In certain particular cases, this
dedicated message could be displayed
when the radar is not detecting any
vehicles or objects within its view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the
real reason behind this message, check
if the sensor is dirty. It could be
necessary to clean or remove any
obstructions in the area shown in
fig. 65.
If the message appears often, even in
the absence of atmospheric conditions
such as snow, rain, mud or other
obstructions, contact a Fiat Dealership
for a sensor alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions,
cleaning the radar surface, by manually
removing the decorative cover trim,
could be required. For this operation,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT It is recommended that
you do not install devices, accessories
or aerodynamic attachments in front of
the sensor or darken it in any way, as
this can compromise the correct
functioning of the system. Any
modifications to the vehicle’s geometry
or its front area (including repairs not
done by the Fiat Dealership) can affect
the proper operation of the device.
Frontal collision alarm with active
braking
(where provided)
If this functions is enabled and the
system detects the risk of a collision, it
can activate the brakes to slow the car
down.
This function applies an additional
braking pressure if the braking pressure
applied by the driver does not suffice to
prevent potential frontal impact.
The function is active with speed above
7 km/h.
Driving in special conditions
In certain driving conditions, such as,
for example:
– driving close to a bend;
– vehicles with small dimensions
and/or not aligned in the driving
lane;
– lane change by other vehicles;
– vehicles travelling at right angles to
the vehicle.
The system’s intervention might be
unexpected or delayed. The driver must
therefore be very careful, keeping
control of the vehicle to drive in
complete safety.
IMPORTANT In particularly complex
traffic conditions, the driver can
deactivate the system through the
Menu.
Driving close to a bend
When entering or leaving a wide bend,
the system may detect a vehicle that is
in front of you, but that is not driving in
the same lane fig. 66. In cases such as
these, the system may intervene.
