SymbolWhat It Means What To Do
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING
The symbol switches on in the case of transmission
overheating, after a particularly demanding use. In this
case an engine performance limitation is carried out.Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or
idling.
TOW HOOK FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the tow
hook.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the failure eliminated.
AUDIO SYSTEM FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the audio
system.Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the failure eliminated.
SPEED LIMITER SYSTEM FAILURE
While driving, the symbol switches on to signal a Speed
Limiter system failure.Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the failure eliminated.
FUEL TANK CAP
Lights up if the fuel tank cap is open or not properly
closed.
Tighten the cap properly.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE FAILURE
The switching on of the symbol and the message on the
display signal a failure in the electric park brake system.
This failure may partially or completely block the car
because the park brake could remain activated even if
automatically or manually disengaged using the relevant
controls. In these circumstances, you can disengage
the park brake following the emergency disengagement
procedure described in “In Case Of Emergency.”If you are still able to drive the car (park brake is not
engaged), drive to the nearest authorized dealer and
remember, when executing any maneuvers/commands,
that the electric park brake is not operational.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

If the obstacle is detected in the rear left
and/or right area, a single flashing arc
will be shown in the corresponding area
on the display and the system will emit
an acoustic signal, either at frequent
intervals or constantly.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the
obstacle when a single flashing arc is
shown on the display and the acoustic
signal becomes continuous.
If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the rear area, the
display will show all of them, regardless
of the area in which they were detected.
The color on the display depends on
the distance from and position of the
obstacle.
It is possible to exit from the display
screen by pressing the Rotary Pad,
however, the acoustic alert will remain
active.
Fault Indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated when REVERSE is engaged
by a message on the instrument cluster
display. Refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel".
Messages On The Display
In case of system failure, a dedicated
message appears on the instrument
cluster for about 5 seconds.Cleaning The Front Sensors:Ifthe
display shows a message requiring the
sensors to be cleaned, make sure that
the outer surface and the underside of
the rear bumper is free of debris (e.g.
snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once these areas
are clear, place the ignition in STOP
mode. Then, return it to ON mode. If
the message is still displayed, contact
an authorized dealer.
Audio System Not Available :Ifthe
display shows a message that the
audio system is not available, it means
that the acoustic signal will be emitted
by the instrument panel, and not
through the vehicles speakers.
Note: Some conditions may influence
the performance of the ParkSense
system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could
be due to the presence of ice, snow,
mud, or thick paint on the surface of
the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false
obstacle (echo interference) due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle or in
extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can
be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle.
System performance can 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 or suspension),
by changing tires, overloading the
vehicle or operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper
stickers or other adhesives over the
sensors as this will affect system
performance.
Warning!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the Parking Sensor
system. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Note:If the sensors detect several
front and rear obstacles, the closest
obstacle is considered. An intermittent
signal will sound if the obstacles are at
the same distance (front and rear).
When the system emits an acoustic
signal, the volume of the Connect
system, if activated, is automatically
lowered.
Indication On Display
The driver can select the type of
warning they would like to be displayed
through the Connect system. To access
the function on the main menu, select in
the following order:
1. “Settings”
2. “Driver assistance”
3. “Park Sensors”
4. “Mode”
5. “Sound-Display”
Visual Indications
The system indicates the presence of
an obstacle by displaying a single arc in
the detected areas, in relation to the
distance of the object and the position
of the vehicle.
If the obstacle is detected in the front or
rear central area, a single arc will be
displayed as the obstacle approaches,
first constant, then flashing, in addition
to an acoustic signal. If the obstacle is detected in the front or
rear left and/or right area, a single
flashing arc will be shown in the
corresponding area on the display and
the system will emit an acoustic signal,
either at frequent intervals or constantly.
If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the front and rear
area, the display will show all of them,
regardless of the area in which they
were detected.
In general, the vehicle is closer to the
obstacle when a single or several
flashing arcs are shown on the display
and the acoustic signal becomes
continuous. The color on the display
depends on the distance from and
position of the obstacle.
It is possible to exit from the display
screen by pressing the Rotary Pad,
however, the acoustic alert will remain
active.
Fault Indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated by a message on the display
on the instrument cluster. Refer to

and rear bumpers are free of debris
(e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). Once these
areas are clear, place the ignition in
STOP mode. Then, return it to ON
mode. If the message is still displayed,
contact an authorized dealer.
