The beep frequency:❒
becomes louder as the distance between car and ob-
stacle decreases;
❒
becomes continuous when the distance between the
car and the obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops im-
mediately if the distance increases;
❒
is constant if the distance is unchanged.
Detection distances
Central operating radius 120 cm
Side operating radius 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
FAILURE WARNING
In the event of parking sensor failures, the driver is warned
when engaging reverse by a three-second beep.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is automatically deactivated when the trail-
er electric cable plug is fitted in the car tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically reactivated when the trail-
er cable plug is removed.
PARKING SENSORS (for versions/markets where provided)
They are are located in the car rear bumper, fig. 93, and
they inform the driver, through an intermittent acoustic
signal, about the presence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse
gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer to the car,
the buzzer becomes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic
signal is automatically activated (short beep indicating that
the system is working).

GENERAL WARNINGS❒
When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles that
may be set above or under the sensors.
❒
Objects set close to the car rear, under certain cir-
cumstances are not detected and could therefore cause
damage to the car or be damaged.
❒
Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by dirt,
snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ultrasound
systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic
hammers) set nearby the car.
For proper 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 us-
ing 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.
Parking manoeuvres however are always
under the driver’s responsibility. While ma-
noeuvring, the driver shall always make sure that
no-one is standing in the area, especially children
or animals. The parking sensor is designed to as-
sist drivers, who shall never reduce attention dur-
ing potentially dangerous manoeuvres even if per-
formed at low speed.
