PARKING
SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 127and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind 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 be-
comes more frequent. BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of
distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the dis-
tance between the car and the obsta-
cle is less that 30 cm and stops imme-
diately if the distance raises;
fig. 127F0H0744m
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of ma-
noeuvres along walls.
Detection distances
The central range of action varies ac-
cording to the version: the range is equal
to 140 cm and to 70 cm for small sized
obstacles (or round parking posts). The
side action range is 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is consid-
ered.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The system is deactivated automatically
when the trailer electric cable plug is fit-
ted into the car tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled
again when the trailer cable plug is re-
moved.It is vital that the sensors are
always clean in order for the
system to work properly.
Take great care when clean-
ing the sensors not to scratch or dam-
age them; avoid using dry, rough or
hard cloths. Clean the sensors with
clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing sta-
tions, clean the sensors quickly, keep-
ing the steam jet/high pressure wash-
ing nozzles at least 10 cm away from
the sensors.
The ultimate responsibility
when parking and carrying
out other dangerous manoeuvres still
rests with the driver. Always make
sure that there are no people, ani-
mals or objects in the way when car-
rying out these manoeuvres. Parking
sensors are designed to assist drivers:
in all cases, you must always pay the
utmost attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even when
these are carried out a low speed.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care
to obstacles that may be set above or
under the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the car, under
certain circumstances are not detect-
ed and could therefore cause damages
to the car or be damaged.
❒indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposit-
ed on the sensors or by ultrasound
systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes
or pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car.

The warning light turns on when failure
is detected in parking sensors. Go to a Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible.
