RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile
phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be
used inside the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external
aerial) may cause the electrical systems to
malfunction. This could compromise the safety of
the car in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the car body. As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS),
follow the usage instructions provided by the
mobile phone manufacturer.
PARKING SENSORS(for versions/markets, where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the car's rear
bumper fig. 79 and their function is to inform the
driver, through an intermittent acoustic signal,
about the presence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when
reverse gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the
vehicle gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal
becomes more frequent.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the car an acoustic signal is
activated which varies according to the distance of
the obstacle from the bumper.

The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the car and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance is unchanged.
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors,
only the nearest one is considered.
FAULT INDICATION
Any parking sensor faults will be indicated when
reverse is engaged by the
warning light on
the instrument panel together with the message in
the multifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is deactivated automatically
when the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted into
the car's tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when
the trailer's cable plug is removed.
For correct operation, sensors must
always be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors must be washed using clean water,
with the addition of car shampoo 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.

❒the signals sent by the sensor can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems of trucks or
pneumatic drills) near the vehicle;
❒parking assistance system performance can also
be influenced by the position of the sensors, for
example due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers,
suspension), or by changing tyres, overloading
the car or carrying out specific tuning
operations that require the car to be lowered.
WARNING
The driver is always responsible for
parking manoeuvres however. When
making these manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially children) or
animals are present in your manoeuvring
area. The parking sensors are an aid for the
driver, but must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care over
obstacles that may be above or under the
sensors.
❒Objects close to the car, are not detected under
certain circumstances and could therefore cause
damage to the car or be damaged.
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;

WARNING
The parking sensors serve to assist
the driver. The driver must never
allow his or her attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds. The Magic
Parking system does NOT in any way adjust
the speed of the car during the manoeuvre:
the control of the acceleration speed and
braking remain the responsibility of the
driver.

MAGIC PARKING(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Magic Parking system notifies the driver of a
free parallel parking space that is a suitable length
for the car; it helps the driver when manoeuvring
by automatically managing the movement of
the steering wheel.
During the manoeuvre the driver is also assisted
by information from the parking sensors (4 front
and 4 rear) which provide further distance
information when approaching obstacles in front
of and behind the car.
When looking for a parking space the front and
rear sensors are not activated (only the side
sensors are activated), during the manoeuvre, the
front and rear sensors will be automatically
activated when reverse gear is engaged.
WARNING
The ultimate responsibility when
parking is always the drivers. During
the entire manoeuvre it is always necessary
to make sure that there are no people or
animals in the space.

SENSORS
When searching for a parking space, the system
uses the side sensors fig. 80, which are
automatically activated below 30 km/h.
During this stage, if the driver has just passed a
space that might be suitable for a manoeuvre, the
function can be requested using the
button on
the instrument panel fig. 81: the instructions
for carrying out the manoeuvre will be shown on
the instrument panel display. If the function is not
requested by the driver (button pressed), no
information will be displayed.OPERATION
The assisted parking manoeuvre can only be
activated with the instrument panel on and at
speeds below about 30 km/h and consists of the
following stages:
❒Activation:pressing the button
starts the
search.
❒Search:through side sensors, the system
continuously searches for a free parking space,
suitable for the car's dimensions. The driver
chooses on which side of the road they intend to
park using the direction indicators (if no
information is available from the direction
indicators or hazard warning lights, the search
takes place on the passenger side).

IMPORTANT The SEARCHING is disabled if,
after about 10 minutes, a suitable parking space
has not been found.
❒Identification:if the system identifies a free
parking space that is a suitable size for the
car, it signals its presence and indicates
the actions required for starting the manoeuvre.
❒Manoeuvre:the driver is asked to engage
reverse gear, release the steering wheel and
manage the accelerator, brake and clutch (in the
case of manual gearbox) or accelerator and
brake (in the case of automatic gearbox) (for
versions/markets, where provided). During the
reverse parking manoeuvre, the system manages
the steering wheel automatically. According to
the parking space, the manoeuvre may end
through reversing or further manoeuvres may be
necessary in both in forward and reverse gears.
After the first manoeuvre, when the rear buzzer
sounds continuously, the driver is requested to
disengage reverse and engage the forward
gear. If this is not enough, when the continuous
tone is reached, the driver is requested to engage
reverse. The semi-automatic manoeuvre ends
when the display shows the message "End
manually".
❒Conclusion:at the end of the manoeuvre, the
driver resumes control and, if necessary, has to
complete parking manually.
IMPORTANT MANOEUVRING is disabled if,
after 3 minutes, parking has not been completed.IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after
reversing when reverse gear is disengaged. The
driver must complete the manoeuvre manually.
The Magic Parking operation is based
on various components: front and
rear parking sensors, side sensors,
steering system, wheels and braking system,
instrument panel. Bear in mind that
malfunction of one of these components could
compromise the operation of the system.
DESCRIPTION OF MANOEUVRING STAGES
Activation
The system is activated by pressing button
:as
soon as it is activated, the system starts searching
(the switching on of the LED on the button
indicates that the system is active).
Since the system recognises parking spaces even
when it is deactivated, the system can be activated
straight away after having driven past an
adjacent parking space that is deemed suitable.
If the system has identified a parking space,
searching will not be performed and the system
will notify the driver of the operations required to
carry out the manoeuvre correctly through the
instrument panel display.
