Vehicle Safety, Driving and Passenger Comfort

Within the framework of customer satisfaction, we adopt vehicle safety and quality as our first priority. In line with FCA’s “safety for all passengers” vision, we are working to develop smart vehicles that offer service and support to drivers in terms of comfort and safety. We make sure that all of our innovations and vehicles are in full compliance with the legal regulations and requirements in relevant markets.

Our vehicles are equipped with passive and active safety systems. We aim to prevent accidents with the help of active safety systems and to ensure that our customers escape from any injuries with the help of passive safety systems in case of an accident. In this way, we observe the safety of not only the drivers and passengers in the vehicle, but also the safety of other vehicles, passengers and pedestrians traveling in traffic outside the vehicle.

With the help of data science and learning algorithms, we are working on how to predict possible accidents and vehicle failures before they occur, based on the data produced by the driver and the vehicle.

FYA Connect continues to consider the safety of Fiat users with its new features. In the current version of the application, the driver is informed instantly and directed to the nearest service in case of any breakdown of the vehicles. Thanks to a new feature added to the application, owners of Fiat brand vehicles, who are registered with Seatmate Connect, are warned with a special notification tone when they approach the points which pose high accident risk. Thus, drivers are urged to drive even more carefully in risky areas without being distracted. 225 risky points (where accidents are frequently encountered and which pose a threat according to the data received from the Turkish National Police) on the highways in Turkey were added to our Connect mobile application. If the speed of the vehicle is more than 10 kph and if the distance between the vehicle and respective risky point is 250 to 1,300 m, drivers receive a push notification on mobile phones with a specific notification tone. The specially composed notification tone is inspired by the heartbeat and is the first customized notification tone of the Connect application.
