PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 75
and their function is to inform the driver, through an in-
termittent buzzer, of the presence of obstacles behind the
car.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse
gear is engaged. As the distance from the obstacle behind
the car decreases, the acoustic alarm becomes more fre-
quent.
fig. 75L0E0059m
BUZZER WARNINGS
When reverse gear is engaged a buzzer warning is acti-
vated if there is an obstacle behind the car. The frequen-
cy of the buzzer varies according to the distance from the
obstacle.
The frequency of the buzzer warning:
❍increases as the distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases;
❍becomes continuous when the distance between the car
and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops imme-
diately if the distance increases;
❍remains constant if the distance between the car and
the obstacle remains constant.

Detection distances
Central operating range 140 cm.
Side operating range 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any faults in the parking sensor system are indicated,
when reverse gear is engaged, by the
èwarning light on
the instrument panel lighting up and a dedicated message
appearing on the multifunctional display.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated automatically
when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car
tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when the trail-
er cable plug is disconnected.
The sensor must be clean 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. Clean the sensors with clean water with the
addition of car shampoo if necessary. In washing
stations, clean the sensors quickly, keeping the
steam jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 10
cm away from the sensors.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❍During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention
to any obstacles that could be located above or below
the sensors.
❍Under certain circumstances objects located close to
the car are not detected and could therefore cause dam-
age to the car or be damaged themselves.
The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor system:
❍Reduced sensor sensitivity and reduced parking aid
system performance could be caused by the presence
of the following on the sensor: ice, snow, mud, multi-
ple layers of paint.
001-142 Delta 3ed gb 30-11-2009 11:22 Pagina 121

122GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
❍The sensor detects objects that are not there (“echo dis-
turbance”) caused by mechanical disturbances, for ex-
ample: washing the car, rain (extreme wind condi-
tions), hail.
❍The indications sent by the sensor can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasound devices (e.g. pneumat-
ic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near the car.
❍Parking sensor system performance can also be influ-
enced by the position of the sensors, for example due to
a change in the ride setting (caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered. The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous manoeu-
vres still rests with the driver. When park-
ing, make sure that no-one is standing in the area,
especially children or animals. Parking sensors are
designed to assist drivers: in all cases, you must al-
ways pay the utmost attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even when these are carried
out a low speed.

MAGIC PARKING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Magic Parking system notifies the driver of a free par-
allel parking space that is a suitable length for the vehi-
cle; it helps the driver when manoeuvring by automati-
cally managing the movement of the steering wheel.During the manoeuvre the driver is also assisted by infor-
mation from the parking sensors (4 front and 4 rear) which
provide further distance information when approaching
obstacles in front of and behind the vehicle.
When looking for a parking space it is helpful if the front
and rear sensors are not activated, whilst during the ma-
noeuvre, the front and rear sensors will be automatically
activated when reverse gear is engaged.
The ultimate responsibility when parking,
however, always rests with the driver. Dur-
ing the entire manoeuvre it it always neces-
sary to make sure that there are no people or ani-
mals in the space.
Parking sensors are designed to assist drivers:
in all cases, you must always pay the utmost
attention during potentially dangerous ma-
noeuvres, even when these are carried out a low
speed: the Magic Parking system does NOT in nay
way adjust the speed of the vehicle during the ma-
noeuvre, the control of the acceleration speed and
braking remain the responsibility of the driver.

SENSORS
The system uses the side sensors (see fig. 76) when look-
ing for a parking space.
These sensors are automatically activated below around
30 km/h; during this stage if the driver has just passed a
space that might be useful for a manoeuvre, the function
can be requested using the special button, at this point the
instructions for carrying out the manoeuvre will be shown
on the display; if the function is not requested by the dri-
ver using the special button, no information will be dis-
played on the instrument panel.
fig. 76L0E0240mfig. 77L0E0241m
OPERATION
The assisted parking manoeuvre can only be activated with
the instrument panel on and at speeds below about 30
km/h and is divided into the following stages:
❍Activation: pressing the button fig. 77 activates the
search stage.
❍Search: the system is continuously searching for a free
parking space that is a suitable size for the vehicle using
the side sensors. The driver determines on which side of
the road they intend to park using the direction indicators
(if no information is available from the direction indica-
tors or hazard warning lights, the search takes place on
the passenger side).
IMPORTANT The SEARCH stage in the system logic is
deactivated after about 10 mins if a suitable parking space
is not identified.

❍Identification: if the system identifies a free parking
space that is a suitable size for the vehicle, it signals its
presence and indicates the actions required for starting the
manoeuvre.
❍Manoeuvre: the driver is asked to engage reverse gear
and leave the steering wheel and manage the accelerator,
brake and clutch (in the case of manual transmission) or
accelerator and brake (in the case of automatic transmis-
sion). The system manages the steering wheel automat-
ically when reverse gear is engaged in the parking posi-
tion.
It suggests that the manoeuvre be concluded in reverse
gear (if the conditions permit) when the continuous sound
of the buzzer for the rear sensors is heard.
IMPORTANT The MANOEUVRE stage in the system log-
ic is deactivated after about 3 mins if the parking ma-
noeuvre has not been completed.❍Conclusion: If parking space is big enough, the ma-
noeuvre is completed by the system in one stage and the
positioning of the vehicle does not require any further in-
tervention on behalf of the driver. If further corrective
manoeuvres are required, the system returns control to the
driver who must complete the manoeuvre manually.
IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after reversing
when reverse gear is disengaged. The driver must com-
plete the manoeuvre by hand.
The operation of the parking assistance is
based on different components:
❍front and rear parking sensors;
❍side sensors;
❍electric steering;
❍wheels and braking system;
❍instrument panel.
It is necessary to bear in mind that a malfunction
in one of these systems could compromise the op-
eration of the Magic Parking system.

❍a parking space more than about 130 cm longer than
the dimensions of the vehicle:parking can take place in
several manoeuvres of which only the first takes place with
automatic management of the steering (the subsequent ma-
noeuvres are entirely the responsibility of the driver).
To chose the side on which to search and carry out the ma-
noeuvre, the driver can;
1)
DChoose to carry out the search for the space and
the manoeuvre on the passenger side with:
❍the direction indicator in the middle position;
❍the hazard warning lights on;
❍the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the passenger side position;
❍the direction indicator pointing towards the passenger
side.
2)
FChoose to carry out the search for the space and
the manoeuvre on the driver’s side with:
❍the direction indicator in the driver’s side position;
❍the hazard warning lights on and the direction indi-
cator in the driver’s side position.
The system will notify the driver, on the side in which
the search and the manoeuvre are taking place by means
of dedicated messages in the instrument panel display and
the symbol (
Fand
D) different on the right and left sides. The search will, however, take place on both sides, there-
fore it is possible to make the selection using the direc-
tion indicators even when having just driven past a park-
ing space that is deemed suitable.
During the search stage the speed should be less than
around 30 km/h; if a speed of about 25 km/h is reached
the driver will be advised to decrease the speed, if a speed
of about 30 km/h is exceeded, the system will be deacti-
vated; in this case the system should be reactivated by
pressing button A-fig. 77.
If the Lane Change function is activated (see chapter 1
in the Exterior lights) the search for the parking space
always takes place on the passenger side.
If the parking sensors are activated during the search for
a parking space (see “Front and rear parking sensors”
chapter), the operation of the Magic Parking system is de-
activated.
The manoeuvres of searching for a parking
space and carrying out the parking manoeu-
vre should be carried out following the High-
way Code.

Identifying a parking space fig. 79
If the system identifies a suitable parking space between
two stationary vehicles or between other obstacles (e.g. ob-
jects with an extensive side surface such as vehicles, box-
es, etc.) it will signal that it has found a parking space that
can be entered. If the position reached is already suitable
at the beginning of the manoeuvre, the system will notify
the driver and engage reverse gear otherwise it will request
moving further forward.On the request to engage reverse gear the driver should sopt
the vehicle and engage reverse in order to confirm the wish
to start the manoeuvre; if the driver continues driving, af-
ter about 10 metres the system will no longer consider the
parking space identified and will start the search for an-
other suitable new space.
Manouevure
The driver will have control over the movements of the ve-
hicle using the accelerator, brake and clutch (only on ver-
sions with manual transmission) whilst the system will au-
tomatically manage the steering to enter the parking space
identified in the best possible way.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible to take advantage
of the information coming from the parking sensors (when
reversing it is advisable to reach the area where the rear
sensors provide a continuous tone signal), but it is always
advisable to keep an eye on the surrounding area.
The vehicle can be stopped during the manoeuvre and,
whilst remaining stationary, reverse gear can temporarily
be released (for example, to allow a pedestrian to go by in
the area of the manoeuvre).
The speed should be less than about 7 km/h during the
manoeuvre, otherwise the parking manoeuvre will be in-
terrupted.
