PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the
rear bumper fig. 131and their function is
to inform the driver, through an inter-
mittent buzzer, about the presence of ob-
stacles in the rear part of 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
Engaging reverse gear, if an obstacle is lo-
cated in the area behind the car, an inter-
mittent sound signal activates.
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 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 indica-
tions when performing manoeuvres
near walls.
fig. 131F0H0744m
Direction distances
The central detecting range varies ac-
cording to car engine type/set-up version:
detection range is 140 cm. For small size
obstacles (or in case of parking deterrent
blocks that are round shaped) it is 70 cm.
Side detecting range is 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.

FAILURE WARNINGS

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The system is preset for deactivating au-
tomatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.For proper operation, the
parking sensors set on the
bumpers shall be clean from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. When
cleaning the sensors, take the utmost
care to prevent their damaging; do not
use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sen-
sors shall be washed with clean water
and car detergent, if required. In wash-
ing stations, clean sensors quickly keep-
ing the vapour jet/high pressure wash-
ing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the
sensors.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people, animals
or objects in the manoeuvre space.
This system is just a help for the dri-
ver but he shall never reduce impor-
tant during dangerous manoeuvres
even if performed at low speed.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care
to obstacles set above or under the
sensors.
❒Objects set close to car rear part, un-
der certain circumstances are not de-
tected and could therefore cause dam-
ages to the car.
❒Indications sent by the sensor 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.
