PARKING SENSORS

The parking sensors are located in the
rear bumper fig. 132 and their function
is to inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal, about the
presence of obstacles behind the
vehicle.
132
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets
closer to the bumper, the frequency
of the acoustic signal increases.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒ increase as the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle 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,
F1A0134
warning indications in the event of
manoeuvres along walls.
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged by
the warning light
panel or by the icon
display and by the message in the
multifunction display (for versions/
markets, where provided)
in the instrument
on the
