FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 91)

WARNING
The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. Small sized
vehicles (e.g. bicycles or motorbikes) or people,
animals and things (e.g. pushchairs) and more in
general all those obstacles with a low reflection
of the light emitted by the laser (e.g. vehicles
soiled with mud) are not taken into
consideration.
If a trailer or a car is towed the system
must be deactivated with the display
Setup Menu (see paragraph "Menu
items" in this chapter).
WARNING
If the car must be placed on a roller
bench (at a speed within 5 and 30 km/h)
for maintenance interventions or if it is washed
in an automatic roller washing tunnel with an
obstacle in the front part (e.g. another car, a
wall or another obstacle), the system may
detect its presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated with the display
setup menu (see paragraph “Menu items”
in this chapter).
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
carries out a continuous diagnosis of the
components of the car related to emissions. It also
alerts the driver about component deterioration
by switching on the warning light on the instrument
panel and the displaying of a relevant message (for
versions/markets, where provided) (see the chapter
“Warning lights and messages”).
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒ monitor the system efficiency;
❒ indicate an increase in emissions;
❒ indicate the need to replace damaged components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that can
be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read the
error codes stored in the control unit together with
a series of specific parameters for engine operation
and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to check
the system completely, Fiat Dealerships run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.
