Driving In Special Conditions; Driving Close To A Bend; Vehicles With Small Dimensions And/Or Not Aligned In Driving Lane; Lane Change By Other Vehicles - Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual

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.
IMPORTANT NOTE In particularly
complex traffic conditions, the driver
can deactivate the system through the
Uconnect™ system.
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. 59. In cases such as
these, the system may intervene.

Vehicles with small dimensions
and/or not aligned in the driving
lane
The system cannot detect cars in front
of you but outside the range of the
radar sensor and may therefore not
react in the presence of small cars,
such as bicycles or motorcycles fig. 60.

Lane change by other vehicles
Vehicles suddenly changing lane,
entering the same lane as your car and
within the radar sensor's operating
range, may cause the system to
intervene fig. 61.

Vehicles travelling at right angles to
the vehicle
The system could temporarily react to a
vehicle that is passing through the radar
sensor's operating range at right angles
fig. 62.
