PARKING SENSORS (where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the rear bumper and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of
obstacles in the rear part of the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is
engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the acoustic
alarm becomes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of distance between the car and the
obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the
obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried. If this situation takes place for
side sensors, the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds to prevent
sound indications when performing manoeuvres near walls.
Direction distances
The central detecting range varies according to car engine type/set-up
version: detection range is 140 cm. For small size obstacles (or in case of
parking deterrent blocks that are round shaped) it is 70 cm. Side
detecting range is 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest
one.

FAILURE WARNINGS
See the “Warning lights and messages” chapter.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The system is preset for deactivating automatically
when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car
tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing the trailer
cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles
set above or under the sensors.
❒Objects set close to car rear part, under certain
circumstances are not detected and could
therefore cause damages to the car.
❒Indications sent by the sensor can be altered by
dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the car.

For proper operation, the parking sensors set on the bumpers shall be clean from mud, dirt, snow or
ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if required. In wash-
ing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from
the sensors.
WARNINGParking manoeuvres however are always under the driver’s responsibility that shall
always check the absence of people, animals or objects in the manoeuvre space.
This system is just a help for the driver but he shall never reduce important during
dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed.
