GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

PARKING SENSORS
(fig. 111)
(upon request for
versions/markets where
applicable)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper and their function is to inform the
driver, through an intermittent buzzer,
about the presence of obstacles behind
the car.
ACTIVATION
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 automatical-
ly activated.
The acoustic signal:
– becomes louder as the reduction of
distance between the car and the obstacle
decreases;
– becomes continuous when the dis-
tance between the car and the obstacle is
less that 30 cm and stops immediately if
the distance raises.
– is constant if the distance is unvaried.
If this situation takes place for side sen-
sors, the signal is stopped after about 3
seconds to prevent sound indications
when performing manoeuvres near walls.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation
is deactivated automati-
cally when the trailer elec-
tric cable plug is fitted into the car
tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated automatically
when removing the trailer cable plug.
