PARKING SENSOR
SYSTEM
(where provided)
160) 161)
26) 27) 28)
The parking sensor system uses
4 ultrasonic sensors (2 rear sensors and
2 rear corner sensors) fig. 93 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
55 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)

STARTING AND OPERATING

WARNING
160)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.
161)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.

Fuels - identification of vehicle
compatibility Symbol for consumer
information in accordance with the
EN16942 specification
The symbols shown below help you to
recognise the correct type of fuel to use
in your vehicle. Before proceeding with
refuelling, check the symbols inside the
fuel filler flap (where provided) and
compare them with the symbols shown
on the fuel pump (where provided).E5: Unleaded petrol containing up to
2,7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
5,0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with the
EN228specification.
E10: Unleaded petrol containing up to
3,7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
10,0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with the
EN228specification.
WARNING
162)When removing the fuel filler cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for any
hissing to stop, then remove it: fuel spray is
dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes
and cause illness if ingested. Fuel spray is
released when there is pressure in the fuel
tank and the fuel filler cap is removed too
quickly.
163)Before refuelling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away from
the filler neck: fuel vapour is dangerous. It
could be ignited by sparks or flames
causing serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel filler
cap or not using a fuel filler cap may result
in a fuel leak, which could result in serious
burns or death in an accident.164)Do not continue refuelling after the
fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically:
continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump
nozzle has shut off automatically is
dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank
may cause fuel overflow or leakage. Fuel
overflow and leakage could damage the
vehicle and if the fuel ignites it could cause
a fire and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.
165)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
166)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
167)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.

VIEWING THE DISPLAY
Guide lines which indicate the width of
the vehicle (yellow)fig. 99 are displayed
on the screen as a reference to the
approximate width of the vehicle in
comparison to the width of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your
vehicle in a parking space or garage.
vehicle width guide lines (yellow):
these guide lines serve as a reference
showing the width of the vehicle.
distance guide lines: these lines
indicate the approximate distance of a
point measured from the rear of the
vehicle (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow line indicates the
points at about 50 cm, for the red line
and 1 m for the yellow line, from the
rear bumper (central point of each line).
IMPORTANT The guide lines are fixed
on the screen. They are not
synchronized with the driver’s actions
on the steering wheel. Always use the
utmost caution and check the area
behind the vehicle and the surrounding
area with your own eyes when
reversing.
REAR VIEW MONITOR
OPERATION
NOTE Images displayed on the monitor
from the rear view parking camera are
reversed images (mirror images).
Give due consideration to the above
warnings before you use the rear-view
monitor:
shift the selector lever or shift lever to
reverse (R) to switch the display to the
rear view monitor display A fig. 100;
confirming the surrounding
conditions, reverse the vehicle B
fig. 100;
after your vehicle begins entering the
parking space, continue backing up
slowly so that the distance between the
vehicle width lines and the sides of the
parking space on the left and right are
roughly equal;
continue to adjust the steering wheel
until the vehicle width guide lines are
parallel to the left and right sides of the
parking space;
once they are parallel Afig. 101,
straighten the wheels and back your
vehicle slowly into the parking space B9907080913-111-111

WARNING
168)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
169)Always adjust the picture quality of
the rear view monitor while the vehicle is
stopped: do not adjust the picture quality
of the rear view monitor while driving the
vehicle. Adjusting the picture quality of the
rear view monitor such as brightness,
contrast, color, and tint while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could distract
your attention from the vehicle operation
which could lead to an accident.
IMPORTANT
29)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.

HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS
CONTROL
Press button fig. 103 to switch the
lights on/off.
Depress the hazard warning flasher and
all the direction indicators will flash. The
hazard warning indicator light
and
in the instrument cluster flash
simultaneously.
EMERGENCY STOP
SIGNAL SYSTEM
The system turns off when it determines
that the brake pedal is released or that
an emergency braking situation no
longer exists based on the reduced
vehicle speed.
If the system determines that such a
situation is occurring, it flashes all the
direction indicators rapidly to caution
the driver of the vehicle following behind
your vehicle of the sudden braking
situation.
This system is designed to determine
whether you are depressing the brake
pedal with greater force than during
normal braking such as in a situation
requiring emergency braking.
If you bring your vehicle to a complete
stop while all the direction indicators are
flashing rapidly, the rapid flashing of all
the direction indicators changes back
to the normal flashing pattern.The emergency stop signal system
does not operate at vehicle speeds
under about 60 km/h.
If the brake pedal is depressed while
driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all the direction and
lane change indicators to flash.
