IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, such as with
ice, snow or mud on the surface of the camera,
the camera sensitivity may be reduced.
IMPORTANT If the tailgate is to be re-painted
following to repairs, make sure the paint does not
get in contact with the camera.
IMPORTANT When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or under the
camera range.
WARNING
The responsibility for parking and other
manoeuvres is always and in any case
charged to the driver.While carr ying out these
manoeuvres, always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are in the area
concerned.The camera is an aid for the driver,
but the driver must never allow his/her
attention to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low speeds.
Always keep a slow speed, so as to promptly
brake in case of obstacles.
It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt , snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while cleaning
it . Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths.The
camera must be washed using clean water, with
the addition of car shampoo if necessary. In
washing stations which use steam or high-
pressure jets, clean the camera quickly, keeping
the nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to the camera.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones,
CB radios etc.) cannot be used inside the car unless
a separate aerial is mounted externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the car in
addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be negatively affected by the shielding
effect of the car body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage instructions provided
by the mobile phone manufacturer.
PARKING SENSORS(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located in the rear bumper fig. 126 and
their function is to detect the presence of any
obstacles near the rear part of the car; they
consequently inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when reverse
gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the vehicle
gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal becomes
more frequent.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the vehicle, an acoustic signal is
emitted which varies according to the distance of the
bumper from the obstacle.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between car and obstacle
decreases, culminating in a continuous acoustic
signal, when the distance is less than approximately
30 cm;
❒decreases if the distance from the obstacle
increases, until the signal ceases entirely;
❒remains constant if the distance between car and
obstacle remains unchanged; if this situation
concerns the side sensors, the signal will stop after
approximately 3 seconds to avoid, for example,
indications in the event of manoeuvres along
a wall.
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only
the nearest one is considered.FAULT INDICATION
Any parking sensor faults will be indicated when
reverse is engaged by the
warning light on the
instrument panel together with the message in the
multifunction display (for versions/markets, where
provided) (see “Warning lights and messages”
section).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is deactivated automatically when
the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted into the
car's tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
For correct operation, sensors must always
be clean from mud, dirt , snow or ice. 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
shampoo if necessary.When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure jets or
steam cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly
keeping the jet more than 10 cm away. Also, do
not apply stickers to the sensors.

GENERAL WARNINGS
When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles
that may be above or below the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, objects close to the
vehicle are not detected by the system and could
therefore cause damage to the car or be damaged
themselves.
Some conditions may influence the performance of
the parking sensors:
❒the presence of ice, snow, mud or think paint on
the sensor surface may cause reduced sensitivity
of the sensor itself and therefore reduce the
system performance.
❒mechanical interference (e.g. washing the car, rain,
strong wind, hail) may cause the sensor to detect a
non-existent obstacle ("echo interference");
❒the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic drills) near
the car could alter the signals sent by the sensor;
❒the variation in sensor position, caused by
variation in ride (due to suspension component
wear), changing tyres, overloaded car, or tuning
that lowers the car, for example, may affect
parking sensor system performance.
WARNING
The driver is always responsible for
parking manoeuvres however.When
making these manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially children) or animals
are present in your manoeuvring area.The
parking sensors are an aid for the driver, but
must never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors and evaporation control system
Do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one
or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions: oxidising catalytic converter,
exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of Diesel
engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to eliminate
almost all particulates in compliance with current/
future legislation.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control
unit records a set of data (e.g. travel time, type of
route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate
how much particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should
be regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by
burning the carbon particles.The regeneration procedure is controlled
automatically by the engine management control unit
according to the filter conditions and car use
conditions.
During the regeneration there may be a limited
increase in the engine idle speed, fan activation, a
limited increase in fumes and high temperatures at
the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair normal car
performance or damage the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed, see contents of
"Warning lights and messages" chapter.
WARNING
The catalytic converter and particulate
filter (DPF) reach very high
temperatures during operation.Therefore, do
not park the car on flammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles etc .) to avoid the risk
of fire.
