Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual page 72

If an obstruction is signalled, clean the
area of the windscreen indicated in
fig. 59 and check that the message has
disappeared.
Although the vehicle can still be driven
in normal conditions, the system may
be not completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to
normal and complete operation. Should
the fault persist, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
System failure signalling
If the system switches off and a
dedicated message is shown on the
display, it means that there is a fault on
the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive
the vehicle, but you are advised to
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Radar indication not
available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the
system is deactivated and a dedicated
message appears on the display.

This generally occurs in the event of
poor visibility, such as when it is
snowing or raining heavily. When the
conditions limiting the system functions
end, this will go back to normal and
complete operation.
Frontal collision alarm with
active braking
(where provided)
If this function is selected, the brakes
are operated to reduce the speed of the
vehicle in the event of potential frontal
impact
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.
system 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
Uconnect™ system.
Driving close to a bend
When tackling a wide bend, the system
may detect the presence of a vehicle
in front you, but not running on the
same driving lane fig. 60. In cases such
as these, the system may intervene.
