Driving Assistance Systems - Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual

visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
44) For the correct operation of the TC
system, the tyres must of necessity be
the same make and type on all wheels,
in perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and dimensions.
45) TC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
46) The TC system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
47) The TC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.
48) The capability of the TC system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the
safety of others.
49) The PBA system cannot overrule
the natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
50) The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.
51) The capability of the PBA system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise the safety of the driver, the
other occupants of the car or any other
road user.

52) The Hill Hold Control system is not a
parking brake; therefore, never leave the
car without having engaged the parking
brake, turned the engine off and engaged
first gear, so that it is parked in safe
conditions (for further information read the
"Parking" paragraph in the "Starting and
driving" chapter).
53) There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle
laden, in which the Hill Hold Control
system may not activate, causing a slight
reversing motion and increasing the risk of
collision with another vehicle or object. The
driver is, in any case, responsible for safe
driving.
54) DST is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of responsibility for driving
the car.
55) The performance of a car with ERM
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.
56) When towing trailers, the utmost
caution at the wheel is recommended.
Never exceed the maximum permitted
loads (see the description in the "Weights"
paragraph in the "Technical Specifications"
chapter).
57) The TSC system cannot prevent
swerving for all trailers. If the system
activates during driving, reduce the speed,
stop the car in a safe place and arrange
the load correctly to prevent the trailer
from swerving.
DRIVING
ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
The car may be fitted with the following

driving assistance systems:

BSA (Blind Spot Assist);
FBC (Full Brake Control);
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System).
For the operation of the systems, refer
to the following pages.
BSA (Blind-Spot Assist)
SYSTEM
The car can be equipped with the BSA
(Blind Spot Assist) system for blind
spot monitoring. The BSA system
uses two radar sensors, located in
the rear bumper (one for each side -
see fig. 56), to detect the presence of
vehicles (cars, trucks, motorbikes,
etc.) in the rear side blind spots of the
vehicle.
