❍Identification: if the system identifies a free parking
space that is a suitable size for the vehicle, it signals its
presence and indicates the actions required for starting the
manoeuvre.
❍Manoeuvre: the driver is asked to engage reverse gear
and leave the steering wheel and manage the accelerator,
brake and clutch (in the case of manual transmission) or
accelerator and brake (in the case of automatic transmis-
sion). The system manages the steering wheel automat-
ically when reverse gear is engaged in the parking posi-
tion.
It suggests that the manoeuvre be concluded in reverse
gear (if the conditions permit) when the continuous sound
of the buzzer for the rear sensors is heard.
IMPORTANT The MANOEUVRE stage in the system log-
ic is deactivated after about 3 mins if the parking ma-
noeuvre has not been completed.❍Conclusion: If parking space is big enough, the ma-
noeuvre is completed by the system in one stage and the
positioning of the vehicle does not require any further in-
tervention on behalf of the driver. If further corrective
manoeuvres are required, the system returns control to the
driver who must complete the manoeuvre manually.
IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after reversing
when reverse gear is disengaged. The driver must com-
plete the manoeuvre by hand.
The operation of the parking assistance is
based on different components:
❍front and rear parking sensors;
❍side sensors;
❍electric steering;
❍wheels and braking system;
❍instrument panel.
It is necessary to bear in mind that a malfunction
in one of these systems could compromise the op-
eration of the Magic Parking system.

Identifying a parking space fig. 79
If the system identifies a suitable parking space between
two stationary vehicles or between other obstacles (e.g. ob-
jects with an extensive side surface such as vehicles, box-
es, etc.) it will signal that it has found a parking space that
can be entered. If the position reached is already suitable
at the beginning of the manoeuvre, the system will notify
the driver and engage reverse gear otherwise it will request
moving further forward.On the request to engage reverse gear the driver should sopt
the vehicle and engage reverse in order to confirm the wish
to start the manoeuvre; if the driver continues driving, af-
ter about 10 metres the system will no longer consider the
parking space identified and will start the search for an-
other suitable new space.
Manouevure
The driver will have control over the movements of the ve-
hicle using the accelerator, brake and clutch (only on ver-
sions with manual transmission) whilst the system will au-
tomatically manage the steering to enter the parking space
identified in the best possible way.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible to take advantage
of the information coming from the parking sensors (when
reversing it is advisable to reach the area where the rear
sensors provide a continuous tone signal), but it is always
advisable to keep an eye on the surrounding area.
The vehicle can be stopped during the manoeuvre and,
whilst remaining stationary, reverse gear can temporarily
be released (for example, to allow a pedestrian to go by in
the area of the manoeuvre).
The speed should be less than about 7 km/h during the
manoeuvre, otherwise the parking manoeuvre will be in-
terrupted.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES
Radio sets (e.g.: e-tacs mobile phones, HAM radio systems
and the like) should not be used inside the car unless a
separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of such devices inside the passenger
compartment (without a separate aerial), may cause the
electrical systems serving the car to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers.
In addition, the transmission and reception of these de-
vices may be affected by the shielding effect of the car
body.
With regards to the use of EC-approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), adhere strictly to the instructions
for use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number (R.O.N.)
no lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads to
harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pol-
lution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.

222CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Service Plan:
❍check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❍check cleanness of bonnet and boot locks and linkage
cleanness and lubrication;
❍visually inspect the condition of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply
- brakes) rubber elements (gaiters – hoses - bushes
etc.);❍check battery charge and fluid level (electrolyte); (see
“Battery - Charge and electrolyte level check” in this
chapter);
❍visually inspect the condition of auxiliary drivebelts;
❍check and if necessary replace the pollen filter; in par-
ticular it should be replaced if a decrease in the air flow
into the passenger compartment is detected;
❍check the air filter and replace, if required.
