Fiat TIPO 5DOORS 2016 Owner's Handbook Manual page 107

IMPORTANT The maximum breaking
applied by the device is limited. The
driver may apply the brakes in all cases
if needed.
IMPORTANT If the device predicts that
the braking level is not sufficient to hold
the set distance, the driver is warned by
a message indicating that the vehicle
ahead is too close. An acoustic signal is
also emitted. In this case, it is advisable
to brake immediately as necessary to
hold a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead.
IMPORTANT The driver is responsible
for ensuring that there are no
pedestrians, other vehicles or
objectives along the direction of the
vehicle. Failure to comply with these
precautions may cause serious
accidents and injuries.
IMPORTANT The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
the button is pressed on the
Adaptive Cruise Control;
the button is pressed on the
electronic Cruise Control;
the Speed Limiter button is pressed;
the ignition device is in the STOP
position.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the CANC button is pressed;
when the conditions shown in the
"Setting the desired speed" paragraph
occur;
when the vehicle speed drops under
the minimum set speed (e.g. in
presence of slow vehicles).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect to a
vehicle ahead, the system could
continue the deceleration, if necessary,
also after it is cancelled or deactivated
within the minimum speed settable on
the system.
SYSTEM LIMITED
OPERATION SIGNAL
If the dedicated message is shown on
the display, a condition limiting the
system operation may have occurred.
The possible cause of this limitation is a
failure.
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.
PRECAUTIONS WHILE
DRIVING
The device may not work correctly in
some driving conditions (see below):
the driver must control the vehicle at all
times.
Towing a trailer
Use of the device is not recommended
while towing a trailer.
Vehicle not aligned
The device may not detect a vehicle
travelling on the same lane but which is
not aligned along the same direction of
travel or a vehicle which is cutting in
from a side lane. Sufficient distance
from the vehicles ahead may not be
guaranteed in these cases.
The non-aligned vehicle can weave in
and out of the driving direction causing
the vehicle to brake or accelerate
unexpectedly.
Steering and curves
On curves fig. 91 with the device set, it
could limit speed and acceleration to
guarantee vehicle stability even if no
vehicles are detected ahead. When
leaving the curve, the device resets the
previously set speed.
