WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are always
the driver's responsibility.When making
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people (especially children) or animals are
present in your manoeuvering space.The
parking sensors serve to assist the driver, but
must never allow his attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒ When parking, take the utmost care over
obstacles that may be above or under the sensors.
❒ Objects close to the vehicle, in certain
circumstances are not detected and could
therefore cause damage to the vehicle or be
damaged.
The following conditions may influence the
performance of the parking sensor system:
❒ Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the
parking assistance system performance could be
due to the presence on the surface of the sensor
of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint.
❒ The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example when washing the vehicle, in case of rain,
strong wind, hail.
