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 Dealership to have the system updated
because the tow hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the centre sensors.
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 car may not be detected
and could therefore cause damage to the car 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 sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the car,
in rain, (strong wind), hail.❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.
❒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 car.
❒The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact
with the car in the bottom part.
