GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles that may be set above or un-
der the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the car, under cer-
tain circumstances are not detected and
could therefore cause damages to the
car or be damaged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car.
The sensor must be clean
from mud, dirt, snow or ice in
order for the system to work.
Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensor while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. Clean the sensors with clean
water with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary.
The driver is always and on-
ly responsible for parking
and other dangerous manoeuvres.
Make sure that no-one is standing in
the area, especially children or ani-
mals. Parking sensors are designed to
assist drivers: in all cases, you must al-
ways pay the utmost attention during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres.
WARNINGOPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated au-
tomatically when the trailer electric cable
plug is fitted into the car tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.
In washing stations, clean sensors quickly
keeping the vapour jet/high pressure
washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the
sensors.

❒take the tow hook Bfrom the sup-
port;
❒tighten the ring on the rear or front
threaded pin.
The power brakes and pow-
er steering will not work while
the car is being towed. More effort on
the brake pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use wires
for towing. Do not jerk. Make sure not
to damage parts in contact with the
car while towing. Respect the specific
rules of the Highway Code when tow-
ing the car specifically in relation to
the towing device and the behaviour
to maintain on the road.
