KNOWING YOUR CAR143
If the obstacle is located at the side, it is detected at dis-
tances of less than 0.6 m.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically deactivated
when the trailer’s electric plug is inserted in the car’s tow
hook socket. The sensors are automatically enabled again
when the trailer’s cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted when
there is no trailer, it is advisable to go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship to have the system updated because the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the centre sensors.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Either symbol
S(if the Magic Parking system is fitted),
or symbol
t(if the Magic Parking is not fitted) will light
up on the display in combination with a message or with
instrument panel warning light
èif parking sensor faults
are detected while reverse is engaged.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention to
any obstacles that could be located above or below the
sensors.
Under certain circumstances close objects located in front
of or behind the vehicle may not be detected and could
therefore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
❍Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the
parking assistance system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the sensors of: ice, snow,
mud, thick paint.
❍The sensors detect a non-existent obstacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, rain (strong wind), hail.
❍The indications sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic devices (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems or pneumatic drills) near the car.
❍The performance of the parking assistance system
may also be affected by the position of the sensors. For
example, if the geometry is altered (as a result of wear
of the shock absorbers, suspension) or the tyres are
changed, the vehicle is too heavily laden, specific tuning
is carried out that lowers the vehicle.
❍The detection of obstacles to the upper part of the ve-
hicle is not guaranteed as the system is designed to detect
obstacles that could impact the lower part of the vehicle.
