Fiat 500X2017 User Manual page 86

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when ParkSense is disabled or requires service. The
ParkSense switch LED will be off when the system is enabled. If the ParkSense switch is
pushed, and requires service, the ParkSense switch LED will blink momentarily, and then
the LED will be on.
ParkSense will remember the previous state when the vehicle is switch off.
After turning the ignition to STOP, the ParkSense remains in this setting until the next
key cycle. This is true even in the case of changing the ignition from RUN to STOP, and
then again to RUN.
Service The Rear Park Assist System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense Rear Park Assist System has detected a
faulted condition, the instrument cluster will actuate a single chime, once per ignition
cycle, and it will display a dedicated message such as "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WIPE
REAR SENSORS" or the "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" message.
Refer to "Instrument Cluster Display" in "Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel" in your
Owner' s Manual on www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals for further information. When
the gear selector is moved to REVERSE and the system has detected a faulted condition,
the instrument cluster display will display a dedicated message such as "PARK ASSIST UN-
AVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE SERVICE RE-
QUIRED" message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition, Rear
Park Assist will not operate.
If a message such as "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" appears in
the instrument cluster display, make sure the outer surface and the underside of the rear
fascia/bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstructions, and then
cycle the ignition. If the message continues to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If a message such as "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" appears in the
instrument cluster display, see an authorized dealer.
