PARK SENSORS SYSTEM

SENSORS
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 101, detect the presence
of any obstacles and warn the driver
through an acoustic warning and, where
provided, visual indications on the
instrument panel display.
101
Activating / deactivating the sensors
To turn off the sensors, press the button
fig. 102
The LED in the button will light up or not
when the system switches from on to off
(and vice versa);
LED off: sensors on;
LED on continuously: sensors off.
The Park Sensors system can also be
activated/deactivated in the "Driver
Assistance" menu of the Connect

system.

When the ignition device is set to ON
the Park Sensors system keeps the
last state when the engine was stopped
(activated or deactivated) in its memory.
102
System activation/deactivation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system (when active) activates the rear
sensors.
Engaging a different gear deactivates
07176S0015EM
the sensors.
WARNING In particular operating
conditions the system could start
detecting the obstacle only after the car
has moved slightly (a few centimetres).
General warnings
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to the
presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint,
on the surface of the sensor;
the sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the car, in rain (strong
wind), hail;
the signals sent by the sensor can also
be altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems
of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the
vehicle;
parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
07176S0016EM
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers,
suspension), or by changing tyres,
overloading the vehicle or carrying out
specific tuning operations that require
the vehicle to be lowered;
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to
place stickers on the sensors.
WARNING
103) Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver's responsibility. When
performing these operations, always
make sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to take. The parking sensors are
