PARKING SENSORS

(where provided)
103) 104)
26)
The sensors are located in the vehicle
rear bumper fig. 75 and their function is
to inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic and visual signal,
about the presence of obstacles behind
the vehicle.
75
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The sensors are turned on when reverse
gear is engaged. As the distance from the
obstacle behind the vehicle decreases,
the frequency of the acoustic signal
increases.
When the reverse gear is disengaged, the
sensors deactivate.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an
acoustic signal is automatically activated
if there is an obstacle within the range of
operation.
The acoustic signal:
increases as the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the
distance between the car and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
remains constant if the distance
remains unchanged; if this situation
concerns the side sensors, the buzzer will
stop after about 3 seconds to avoid, for
example, warning indications in the event
of manoeuvres along walls.
OPERATION WITH A TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically
turned off when the trailer electric cable
plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.

IMPORTANT NOTES
During parking manoeuvres, pay the
utmost attention to any obstacles that
could be located above or below the
sensors.
Objects set close to the car rear, under
certain circumstances are not detected
and could therefore cause damage to the
car or be damaged.
