The ultimate responsibility when parking,
however, always rests with the driver. Dur-
ing the entire manoeuvre it it always neces-
sary to make sure that there are no people or ani-
mals in the space.
Parking sensors are a driving aid for the
driver, who should continuously pay atten-
tion to all potentially dangerous manoeu-
vres, even at low speed: the Magic Parking system
DOES NOT adjust the vehicle speed in manoeu-
vres; the control of the acceleration speed and
braking remain the responsibility of the driver.
MAGIC PARKING
(for versions/markets where it provided)
The Magic Parking system notifies the driver of a free
parallel parking space that is a suitable length for the ve-
hicle; it helps the driver when manoeuvring by automat-
ically managing the movement of the steering wheel.During the manoeuvre the driver is also assisted by in-
formation from the parking sensors (4 front and 4 rear)
which provide further distance information when ap-
proaching obstacles in front of and behind the vehicle.
When looking for a parking space it is helpful if the front
and rear sensors are not activated, whilst during the ma-
noeuvre, the front and rear sensors will be automatically
activated when reverse gear is engaged.

138KNOWING YOUR CAR
❍Identification: if the system identifies a free park-
ing space that is a suitable size for the vehicle, it signals
its presence and indicates the actions required for start-
ing the manoeuvre.
❍Manoeuvre: the driver is asked to engage reverse gear
and release the steering wheel and manage the accelera-
tor, brake and clutch (in the case of manual gearbox) or
accelerator and brake (in the case of automatic gearbox).
During the reverse parking manoeuvre, the system man-
ages the steering wheel automatically.
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
logic is deactivated after about 3 mins if the parking ma-
noeuvre has not been completed.❍Manoeuvre end: if the parking space is sufficient, the
parking manoeuvre is completed by the system is a sin-
gle movement; the further intervention of the driver is not
required to position the vehicle. If further corrective ma-
noeuvres are required, the system gives back control to
the driver who must complete parking manually.
IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after reversing
when reverse gear is disengaged. The driver must com-
plete the manoeuvre manually.
The operation of the parking assistance is
based on different components:
❍front and rear parking sensors;
❍side sensors;
❍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.

142KNOWING YOUR CAR
If the driver carries out a voluntary or involuntary action
on the steering during the parking manoeuvre (touch-
ing it or preventing its movement), the manoeuvre will
be interrupted.
If the road surface is very uneven or there are obstacles
under the wheels affecting the movement of the vehicle,
preventing it from continuing along the correct trajectory,
the manoeuvre may be interrupted.
Manoeuvre end
If the size of parking space permits, the parking ma-
noeuvre may be performed in one go; when reverse gear
is released the wheels will be realigned and the manoeu-
vre will be considered completed; the system will conse-
quently be deactivated. If the size of the parking space is
smaller, it may take several manoeuvres, the driver will
be advised to complete the parking manoeuvre manually
via a dedicated messages in the instrument panel display.General warnings
❍The ultimate responsibility when parking, however,
always rests with the driver. During these manoeuvres,
always make sure that no people, animals or objects are
within the manoeuvring area. The Magic Parking sys-
tem (like parking sensors) is designed to assist drivers: in
all cases, you must always pay the utmost attention dur-
ing potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even when these
are carried out a low speed:
❍If the sensors undergo shocks influencing their posi-
tion, the system operation could be strongly degraded.
❍If the sensors are dirty, covered by snow, ice or mud
or are repainted compared to the original conditions, the
system operation could be strongly degraded.
❍It is extremely important, for the correct operation of
the system, that the sensors are always kept clean. Dur-
ing cleaning make sure not to scratch or damage them;
avoid using dry or rough cloths. The sensors should be
washed using clean water with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary. When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the
sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than 10 cm
away.
If you wish to stop the steering wheel with
your hands during a manoeuvre, it is
advisable to handle it firmly on the outer
rim. Do not try and keep your hands on the inside
or hold the spokes.

KNOWING YOUR CAR143
❍Ultrasound source (e.g. pneumatic brakes of trucks or
air drills) nearby could negatively influence the sensor
performance.
❍Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo in-
terference) due to mechanical interference, for example
while washing the car, rain, strong wind, hail.
❍The sensors might not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, parking deterrents,
rubbish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the vehicle and its path are effectively com-
patible with the parking area identified by the system.
❍The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a different
size to those present when the vehicle was purchased
could affect the operation of the system.
❍If the battery is disconnected or very run down, be-
fore the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary
to drive a few hundred metres, not in a straight line, to
initialise the system.
❍If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted)
the Magic Parking system will automatically be disabled.
❍If the Magic Parking system is in “search in progress”
mode, the system could incorrectly identify a parking
space and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction,
carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.).❍In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior and
it may deactivate.
❍If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out between
two vehicles parked on the pavement, the Magic Park-
ing system may cause the vehicle to mount the pavement.
❍Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not be car-
ried out.
❍Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking area, moving ve-
hicles, etc.) and intervene immediately if necessary.
❍During parking manoeuvres, pay special attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Always
follow the Highway Code.

FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is provided with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, driver’s knee air bag (for versions/markets
where provided) and front side bags (side bags – window
bags).
The front air bags (driver, passenger driver’s knee bag)
protect the occupants of the front seats in the event of
moderate to serious front impacts by positioning the bag
between the occupant and the steering wheel or the dash-
board.
Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the
event of a frontal impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself be-
tween the front occupants body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) do not replace but rather complement the seat
belts, which you are always recommended to wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat belt
could move forward and come into contact with a bag
which is still in the opening phase. The protection offered
by the bag is reduced in such a case.The front air bags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❍front collisions against highly deformable objects not
affecting the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper col-
lision against guard rail, etc.);
❍car wedging under other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection compared
with seat belts, so their activation would be inappropri-
ate. Therefore, failure to come into action in the above
circumstances does not mean that the system is not work-
ing properly.
Do not apply stickers or other objects on the
steering wheel, on the dashboard in the pas-
senger side airbag area, on side upholstery
on roof and on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mo-
bile phones) on the passenger’s side dashboard since
they could interfere with proper air bag inflation
and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
