PARKING SENSORS (for versions/markets, where provided)

When the distance from the obstacle sit-
uated behind the vehicle diminishes, it cor-
responds with an increase in the frequen-
cy of the beeping.

sensors (activated or deactivated) is mem-
orised upon switching off the engine.BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒
becomes louder as the distance be-
tween the vehicle and the obstacle de-
creases;
❒
becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance raises;
❒
is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of manoeu-
vres along walls.FAILURE INDICATIONS

dicated when engaging reverse by the
buzzer and the turning on of led

light remains lit (led on the ESC OFF
button switched on) it signals the deacti-
vation of the system.

The warning light
n
switches on, to-
gether with a dedicated message on the

is lower than the recommended value
and/or that slow pressure loss is occur-
ring. In these circumstances, optimal tyre
duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.
The alarm is active until the next inflation,
repair or replacement of the tyre involved.
iTPMS failure
When a fault in the iT.P.M.S. is detected,
the warning light
n
switches on and flash-
es, the warning light è
switches on as
well and a dedicated message is displayed.
In this case, the monitoring of the tyre
pressure is no longer guaranteed.

tem checked or, after a puncture, refit a
tyre equipped with sensor on the origi-
nal rim.
