GENERALWARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensors.
❒Objects close to the car, are not de-
tected 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 re-
duction in the parking assistance system
performance could be due to the pres-
ence on the surface of the sensor of:
ice, snow, mud, thick paint
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle (echo interference) due to me-
chanical interference, for example when
washing the vehicle, in rain, (strong
wind), hail.
❒The signals sent by the sensors can al-
so be altered by the presence of ultra-
sonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake sys-
tems or pneumatic drills) near the ve-
hicle.
❒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, suspen-
sion), or by overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the vehicle to be lowered.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always the driver’s re-
sponsibility. While manoeuvring, al-
ways make sure that no people (es-
pecially children) or animals are in
the area concerned. The parking sen-
sors are designed to assist drivers: in
any case, you must always pay the ut-
most attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even when
carried out at low speed.
