Parking Manoeuvre - Ferrari 612 scaglietti Owner's Manual

Parking manoeuvre

To make parking manoeuvres easier for the driver, the vehicle is
equipped with four sensors housed on the rear bumper; optionally,
four sensors can also be fitted on the front bumper.
During parking manoeuvres, the parking sensors provide the driver
with information on the distance between obstacles found in front or
behind the vehicle.
The driver is informed of the presence and of the distance of any
obstacle by means of acoustic signals (beeps).
By supplementing the driver's direct visual information with that
provided by the system's acoustic signals, potential collisions can be
avoided.
However, the driver remains fully responsible for
parking manoeuvres and in other potentially dangerous
situations. The system has actually been designed only as
a supplementary aid during parking manoeuvres, since it
allows the driver to detect obstacles outside his field of vision.
The front (if present) and rear sensors activate automatically when
reversing, with the ignition key in position II. If the vehicle is also
equipped with front sensors, press button A on the centre console
(next to the hazard light button) to activate all of the sensors. When the
front sensors are active, the button illuminates with an amber colour.
To deactivate the sensors, press the button A again.
When reverse is disengaged, the sensors remain active until a speed of
approx. 30 km/h (18.65 mph) is exceeded.
When the sensors are activated, the system begins to beep as soon as
an obstacle is detected, and the tone frequency increases as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle. When the obstacle is located at a distance of
less than 40 cm (15,7 inches), the beep is continuous. The tone cycle
is constant if the distance measured by the central sensors remains
unaltered, while if this occurs with the side sensors, the signal stops
after approximately 3 seconds, to prevent for example continuous
beeps in the event of manoeuvres alongside walls.
