brake sensor Lancia Delta 2010 Owner handbook (in English)

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.

❍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.

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.

130GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
❍Ultrasound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes on lorries
or pneumatic hammers) in the vicinity may affect the per-
formance of the sensors.
❍The sensors could detect an object that is not there
(echo disturbance) caused by mechanical disturbances, for
example: washing the car, rain, extreme wind conditions,
hail.
❍The sensors might not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, parking deterrents, rub-
bish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
check that the vehicle and its path are effectively compat-
ible with the parking area identified by the system.
❍The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a different
size to those at the time the vehicle was purchased could
affect the operation of the system.
❍If the battery is disconnected or very run down, before
the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary to dri-
ve a few hundred metres, not in a straight line, to initial-
ize the system.
❍If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted) the
Magic Parking system will automatically be disabled.❍If the Magic Parking system is in the “search in
progress” mode, the system could incorrectly identify a
parking space and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junc-
tion, carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel,
etc.)
❍In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior and
it may deactivate.
❍If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out between
two parked vehicles alongside the pavement, the Magic
Parking system may cause the vehicle to mount the pave-
ment.
❍Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not be car-
ried out.
❍Take great care to ensure that conditions do not change
during the parking manoevure (e.g. if there are persons
and/or animals in the parking area, moving vehicles, etc.)
and intervene immediately if necessary.
❍During parking manoeuvres, pay special attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Always
follow the Highway Code.

136GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
If the obstacle is located at the side, it is detected at dis-
tances of less than 0.6 m.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically deactivated
when the trailer electric plug is inserted in the car tow hook
socket. The sensors are automatically enabled again when
the trailer cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted when
there is no trailer, it is advisable to go to a Lancia Deal-
ership to have the system updated because the tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the centre sensors.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Either symbol
S(if the Magic Parking system is fitted),
or symbol
t(if the Magic Parking is not fitted) will light
up on the display in combination with a message or with
instrument panel warning light
èif parking sensor faults
are detected.
GENERAL WARNINGS
During parking manoeuvres, pay the utmost attention to
any obstacles that could be located above or below the sen-
sors.
Under certain circumstances objects located in front of
or behind the vehicle may not be detected and could there-
fore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged them-
selves.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 surface of the sensors: ice, snow, mud,
multiple layers of paint.
❍The sensors detect objects that are not there (“echo dis-
turbance”) caused by mechanical disturbances, for ex-
ample: washing the car, rain (extreme wind conditions),
hail.
❍The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered by
the presence of ultrasound devices (e.g. pneumatic brake
systems or pneumatic drills) near the car.
❍The performance of the parking assistance system may
also be affected by the position of the sensors. For ex-
ample, if the geometry is altered (as a result of wear of the
shock absorbers, suspension) or the tyres are changed, the
vehicle is too heavily laden, specific tuning is carried out
that lowers the vehicle.
❍The detection of obstacles at the top part of the vehi-
cle may not be guaranteed because the system detects ob-
stacles that could cause an impact with the vehicle in the
bottom part.
