Fiat 500 Owner's Handbook Manual page 50

When the system detects an obstacle,
the display shows an arc in one or
more positions depending on the
distance of the obstacle from the car.
If an obstacle is detected in the rear
central area, the display shows only
one arc in the rear central area and you
will hear a beep. As the car
approaches the obstacle, the display
shows only a flashing arc that
approaches the car and the beep
becomes more frequent until it
becomes continuous.
If an obstacle is detected in the rear left
or right area, the display shows only
one arc flashing in the rear left or right
area and you will hear a beep with high
frequency. As the car approaches the
obstacle, the display shows only one
arc that approaches the car and the
beep becomes continuous.
The colour on the display depends on
the distance from and position of the
obstacle.

The car is close to the obstacle when
