ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the presence and
distance of an obstacle from the vehicle is
transmitted by means of acoustic signals from
buzzers installed in the passenger compartment:
❒ in the versions with 4 rear sensors, a buzzer in the
front dashboard area warns of the presence of rear
obstacles;
❒ in the versions with 8 sensors (4 front and 4 rear
sensors), a front buzzer warns of the presence of
obstacles at the front and a buzzer located at
the rear warns of the presence of obstacles at the
rear. This notifies the driver of the direction
(front/rear) of the obstacles.
When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent
acoustic signal is automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒ increases as the distance between the car and the
obstacle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒ remains constant if the distance remains
unchanged; if this situation concerns the side
sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3 seconds
to avoid, for example, warning indications in the
event of manoeuvres along walls.
WARNING
For correct operation, sensors must
always be clean from mud, dirt, snow or
ice. Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths.The sensors should be
washed using clean water with the addition of
car shampoo if necessary. In washing stations,
clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour
jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.
WARNING
Only have the bumpers repainted or any
retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Fiat Dealership.
Incorrect paint application could affect the
operation of the parking sensors.
