❒becomes continuous when the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than about 30 cm, and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒remains constant if the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle remains unchanged.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures are indicated, when engaging re-
verse gear, by a three second beep.
PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper fig. 102 and their
function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles behind the
vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when reverse gear
is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer to the
bumper, the buzzer becomes more frequent.
BUZZER
The frequency of the buzzer:
❒increases as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle;
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically disabled when
the electric cable plug of the trailer is fitted into the vehi-
cle tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again when the trail-
er cable plug is removed.
The sensors must be clean of mud, dirt,
snow and ice in order for the system to
work. Be careful not to scratch or damage the sen-
sors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed us-
ing clean water with the addition of car sham-
poo 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.
WARNING

START&STOP SYSTEM
FOREWORD
The Start&Stop device automatically stops the engine each
time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fu-
el consumption, the emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution.
The system is activated each time the vehicle is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine cut-out mode
WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION
With the vehicle stationary, the engine cuts out with the
gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, pay special attention to obstacles that
may be set above or below the sensors.
❒Sometimes, objects located very near the rear of the
vehicle are not detected and could therefore damage
the vehicle or be damaged themselves.
❒The signals sent out by the sensors can be altered by
dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ul-
trasound systems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-
matic drills) near the vehicle.
❒The parking sensors work properly with the swing
doors closed. If they are open, they can cause the sys-
tem to send false signals: always close the rear doors.
The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous ma-
noeuvres 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; however, you must al-
ways concentrate fully during potentially danger-
ous manoeuvres, even if carried out at low speeds.
