Sensor operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the

windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles
that are driving not aligned with you car, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on the
same lane, bend with a small radius of curvature),
by road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure the
windscreen is always clean. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching
the windscreen.The sensor operation may also be
limited or absent in some driving, traffic and
road surface conditions.

Projecting loads on the roof of the car
may interfere with the correct operation
of the sensor. Before starting make sure

the load is correctly positioned, in order not to
cover the sensor operating range.

If the windscreen must be replaced due to
scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively a Fiat Dealership. Do not

replace the windscreen on your own, risk of
malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the laser sensor
area.

Do not tamper nor operate on the laser
sensor. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior

rear view mirror. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT If you are driving on roads close to
trees with protruding branches it is advisable to
deactivate the system to prevent the branches at the
height of the bonnet or the windscreen from
interfering with the system.

Do not cover the operating range of the
sensor with stickers or other objects.
Also pay attention to other objects on the

bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make sure they
do not interfere with the light emitted by the
laser.

WARNING

The laser beam is not visible at the
naked eye. Do not look directly, or with

optical instruments (e.g. lenses), at the laser
beam from a distance lower than 10 cm: this
may cause damage to the sight.The laser beam
is also present when the key is at MAR-ON
but its operation is off, not available or
manually deactivated with the display Setup
Menu (see paragraph “Menu items” in this
chapter).
