DISPLAY INDICATIONS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the sensor is activated, the "Reconfigurable multifunctional
display" (for versions/markets where provided) shows the screen
illustrated in fig. 88a; the information about the presence of and
distance from the obstacle is given by the buzzer and also by a
visual indication on the instrument panel display. If there are se-
veral obstacles, the closest one is indicated.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When reverse gear is engaged a buzzer warning is automatically
activated if there is an obstacle within the range of operation.
The acoustic signal:
❍increases as the distance between the car and the obstacle de-
creases;
❍becomes continuous when the distance between the car and
the obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops immediately if the
distance increases;
❍remains constant if the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle remains unchanged, whilst if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the signal is interrupted after about 3 seconds,
for example, to prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres along-
side walls.
IMPORTANT The volume of the audible signal can be adjusted th-
rough the option "Warnings volume" of the "Set-Up menu".
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically turned off when the trail-
er electric cable plug is fitted into the car tow hook socket. The sen-
sors are automatically enabled again when the trailer cable plug
is removed.
The sensor must be free of mud, dirt, snow or ice
in order for the system to work. 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 sham-
poo if necessary. In washing stations, clean sensors quick-
ly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing noz-
zles at a distance of at least 10 cm from the sensors.

Front seats (warning light no. 1 = driver and
no. 5 = passenger)
Driver
If the driver is the only occupant and the seat belt is not fastened,
when 20 km/h is exceeded or when travelling at a speed from 10
to 20 km/h for longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal sequence
will be started (front seats) consisting of a tone for 6 seconds fol-
lowed by a 90 second beep. The warning light will blink. Once the
cycle is complete, the warning lights stay on with a fixed light un-
til the car is turned off. The acoustic signal will be interrupted im-
mediately when the driver’s seat belt is fastened and the warning
light will turn green.
If the seat belt is again unfastened when the car is in motion, the
acoustic signal and the red warning light blinking resume as de-
scribed previously.
Passenger
A similar solution applies for the front passenger, with the differ-
ence that the warning light turns green and the signal is interrupted
also when the passenger leaves the car.
If both front seat belts are unfastened with the car in motion a few
seconds apart, the acoustic signal will refer to the most recent event
while the two warning lights will issue a visual signal independently.
Rear seats (warning light no. 2, no. 3
and no. 4)
The signalling cycle is run only when any rear seat belt is unfas-
tened (blinking red). In this condition, the warning light referred
to the seat belt which has been unfastened will start blinking (red)
for approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic signal will also sound.
The visual signal (blinking red) will start and end independently for
each warning light if several seat belts are unfastened. The visual
signal will turn green after the corresponding seat has been fas-
tened.
The rear seat warning lights will go out, regardless of the state of
the belt (red or green) approximately 30 seconds after the last sig-
nal.
WARNINGS
All warning lights will remain off if all the seat belts (front and rear)
are already fastened when the key it turned to MAR.
All the warning lights will come on when at least one belt changes
from fastened to unfastened status or vice versa.

INTRODUCTION
When the radio is turned on the last func-
tion selected before it was switched off is
activated: Radio, CD, CD MP3 or Media
Player (only with Blue&Me™).
To select the Radio function whilst listening
to another audio source, press the FM
ASor
AM buttons briefly, depending on the desired
band.
Once the Radio mode has been activated,
the display will show the name (RDS sta-
tions only) and the frequency of the select-
ed radio station, the frequency band select-
ed (e.g. FM1) and the preselect button num-
ber (e.g. P1).
FREQUENCY BAND
SELECTION
With the Radio mode activated, press the FMAS
or AM button briefly and repeatedly to select
the desired reception band.
Each time the button is pressed the follow-
ing bands are selected cyclically:
❍Pressing the FMASbutton: “FM1”,
“FM2” or “FMA”;
❍Pressing the AM button: “MW1” and
“MW2”.
Each band is highlighted by the name in the
display. The last station selected on the re-
spective frequency band will be tuned into.
The FM band is divided into sections: FM1,
FM1 or “FMA”; the FMA reception band is
reserved for broadcasters stored automati-
cally using the AutoSTore function.
PRESET BUTTONS
The buttons numbered from 1 to 6 can used
to set the following presettings:
❍18 on the FM band FM (6 on FM1, 6
on FM2, 6 on FMT or “FMA” (on some
versions);
❍12 on the MW band (6 on MW1, 6 on
MW2).
To listen to a preset station, select the desired
frequency band and then briefly press the cor-
responding preset button (from 1 to 6).
By pressing the preset button for more than
2 seconds, the station tuned into will be
stored. The storing phase is confirmed by an
acoustic signal.

EMERGENCY ALARM
RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in RDS
mode in exceptional circumstances where
dangerous situations are threatened (earth-
quakes, floods, etc.) if these are being trans-
mitted by the broadcaster tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The word Alarm will be shown in the display
during the transmission of an emergency an-
nouncement. The volume of the radio will
change during this announcement in the
same way as during a traffic bulletin.
EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that
group multiple broadcasters that transmit
traffic information together. In this case, the
programme on the station that is being lis-
tened to will be temporarily interrupted to:
❍receive traffic information (only with the
TA function on);
❍listen to regional transmissions each time
they are transmitted by one of the broad-
casters in the same circuit.
STEREOPHONIC
BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the reproduc-
tion is automatically switched from Stereo
to Mono.
