a possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a standard
distance, between that of the other two
settings. This setting offers the driver
reaction time longer than that of the
"Near" setting but shorter than that
of the "Far" setting in the event of a
potential accident.
By setting system sensitivity to "Near",
the system warns the driver of a
possible accident with the vehicle
in front when that vehicle is a short
distance away.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a greater
distance, thus providing the possibility
of acting on the brakes more lightly
and gradually. This setting provides
the drivers with the maximum possible
reaction time to prevent a potential
accident.
The system sensitivity setting is kept
in the memory when the engine is
switched off.
Function temporarily not available
warning
If the deactivation warning light comes
on together with the failure warning
lights without having intentionally
deactivated the system, a condition
temporarily disabling operation of the
system may have occurred. The main
128
possible causes of this temporary
blinding may be weather-related (heavy
rain, fog, sun low down on the horizon,
etc.).
Although the vehicle can still be driven
in normal conditions, the system may
be temporarily not 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.
Warning of system disabling due to
an obstruction
If the dedicated message is displayed,
a condition disabling operation of
the system may have occurred. The
possible cause of this disabling is a
camera obstruction. If an obstruction
is signalled, clean the area of the
windscreen indicated in fig. 170
and check that the message has
disappeared. Although the vehicle can
still be driven in normal conditions, the
system is not available.
When the conditions disabling the
system functions end, it will return
to normal and complete operation.
Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
System Fault Message
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.
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.
WARNING In particularly complex
traffic conditions, the driver can
deactivate the system manually through
the Uconnect™ system or the
instrument panel.
Driving close to a bend
When entering or leaving a wide bend,
the system may detect a vehicle that is
in front of you, but that is not driving in
the same lane fig. 171. In cases such
as these, the system may intervene.
