Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual page 73

Vehicles with small
dimensions and/or not
aligned in the driving lane
The system cannot detect vehicles
in front of you but outside the range of
the radar sensor and may therefore
not react in the presence of small
vehicles, such as bicycles or
motorcycles fig. 61.
61
Lane change by other
vehicles
Vehicles suddenly changing lane,
entering the driving lane of the vehicle
fig. 62 and inside the radar sensor
operating range, may cause system
activation.
Vehicles travelling at right
angles to the vehicle
The system may temporarily react to a
vehicle that is passing through the radar
sensor's operating range at right angles
fig. 63.

Important
❒ The system has not been designed
to prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an
accident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to
serious or fatal injuries.
❒ The system may activate, assessing
the trajectory of the vehicle, due to
the presence of reflective metal objects
different from other vehicles, such as
safety barriers, road signs, barriers
before parking lots, tollgates, level
crossings, gates, railways, objects near
road constructions sites or higher
than the vehicle (e.g. a flyover). In the
same way, the system may intervene
F1B0099C
inside multi-storey car parks or tunnels,
or due to a glare on the road surface.
These possible activations follow the
normal operating logic of the system
and must not be regarded as faults.
❒ The system has been designed
for road use only. If the vehicle is driven
off-road, the system must be
deactivated, to avoid unnecessary
warnings. Automatic deactivation is
signalled by the dedicated warning
F1B0100C
light/icon switching on in the instrument
panel (see the instructions in the
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).
