DYNAMIC SELECTOR IF EQUIPPED
The Dynamic Selector combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best performance in all driving conditions.
The Dynamic Selector consists of the fol-
lowing positions:
Auto Mode This mode is designed for
comfort and safety in normal driving condi-
tions. In versions equipped with all-wheel
drive, this mode also reduces fuel consump-
tion by automatically altering the distribu-
tion of torque between the front and rear
axle.
All Weather Mode This mode offers in-
creased traction control and stability con-
trol for low traction conditions such as
driving on a dir t road or off road as well as
wet and slippery roads.
Sport Mode This mode is designed to
increase steering feedback to the driver with a slight increase in effort and changes the
transmission shift schedules for more aggressive shifting. This driving mode is useful while
driving on twisty roads where more steering precision is desired in spirited cornering.
Warning Messages
In the event of a system fault, the system automatically defaults to "Auto" mode and a
message will appear in the instrument cluster display.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel in your
Owner’s Manual at www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals for further information.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) IF EQUIPPED
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the
rear bumper fascia, to detect highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle .
When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning light will momentarily illuminate in both
outside rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the system is operational. The BSM
system sensors operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE and enters
stand-by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane width on both sides of the ve-
hicle, 10 ft (3 m). The zone length start s at the outside mirror and extends approximately
20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system monitors the de-
tection zones on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
