STARTING AND DRIVING
182
WARNING
148)
Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always
make sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the
route you want to take. The parking
sensors are an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.
IMPORTANT
49)
The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. 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. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than 10
cm away.
50)
Have interventions on the bumper in
the area of the sensors carried out only
by a Fiat Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.
51)
Only have the bumper 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.
