Front And Rear Park Assist - If Equipped; Park Assist Sensors - Fiat 500X 2019 Owner's Manual

assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to filter
out the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly presence in

FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The Park Assist system provides visual and audible indi-
cations of the distance between the rear and/or front fascia
and a detected obstacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver.
Refer to "Park Assist System Usage Precautions" for limi-
tations of this system and recommendations.
Park Assist will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is
changed to the ON/RUN position.
Park Assist is active when the gear selector is shifted to
REVERSE or to a forward gear and an obstacle is detected,
as long as the system is ON. When the gear selector shifted
to NEUTRAL (or PARK in case of automatic gearbox), the
system becomes inactive. When the vehicle is moving
forward, the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed remains below approximately 11 mph (18 km/h).
Reducing the speed approximately below 9 mph
(15 km/h), the system will come back active. When the
vehicle is moving in REVERSE, the system will remain
active as long as the speed remains below the maximum
operating speed of 7 mph (11 km/h). When the maximum
speed limit is exceeded, the system is disabled and the Park
Assist switch LED with illuminate. The system will become
active again if the vehicle speed reduces below approxi-
mately 6 mph (9 km/h).

Park Assist Sensors

The four Park Assist sensors, located in the rear fascia/
bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within
the sensors' field of view. The sensors can detect obstacles
from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 59 inches
(150 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orientation
of the obstacle.
The four Park Assist sensors, located in the front fascia/
bumper, monitor the area in front of the vehicle that is
within the sensors' field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 39
inches (100 cm) from the front fascia/bumper in the
horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
