PARKING SENSOR
SYSTEM
(where provided)
151) 152)
26) 27) 28)
The parking sensor system uses
4 ultrasonic sensors (2 rear sensors and
2 rear corner sensors) fig. 96 to detect
obstructions around the vehicle while
parking the vehicle in a garage or
during parallel parking when the shift
lever (manual transmission)/selector
lever (automatic transmission) is in
reverse (R).
SENSOR DETECTION
RANGE
The sensors detect obstructions within
the following range:
Lateral detection range: about
50 cm
Rear detection range: about
150 cm
SYSTEM OPERATION
When the ignition is switched ON and
the shift lever (manual transmission)/
selector lever (automatic transmission)
is shifted to the reverse (R), the beep
sound activates and the system is
enabled for use.

WARNING
151)Do not rely completely on the parking
sensor system and be sure to confirm the
safety around your vehicle visually when
driving. This system can assist the driver in
operating the vehicle in the forward and
backward directions while parking. The
detection ranges of the sensors are limited,
therefore, driving the vehicle while relying
only on the system may cause an accident.
Always confirm the safety around your
vehicle visually when driving.
152)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to drive into. The parking sensors
are an aid for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
IMPORTANT
26)Only have interventions on the bumper
in the area of the sensors carried out by a
Dealership. Interventions on the bumper
that are not carried out properly may
compromise the operation of the parking
sensors.27)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Dealership.
Incorrect paint application could affect the
operation of the parking sensors.
28)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should 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.
