ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
Some conditions may influence the perfor-
mance of the ParkSense system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity could be due to
the presence of ice, snow, mud, or thick
paint on the surface of the sensor.
The sensors may detect a false obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical inter-
ference, for example when washing the
vehicle or in extreme weather.
The signals sent by the sensors can be
altered by the presence of ultrasonic
systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems of
trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
System performance can be influenced by
the position of the sensors. For example,
due to a change in the ride setting (caused
by wear to the shock absorbers or suspen-
sion), by changing tires, overloading the
vehicle or operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
Be sure not to place bumper stickers or
other adhesives over the sensors as this will
affect system performance.
The presence of a trailer hitch without a
trailer. This may interfere with the operation
of the parking sensors. Before using the
ParkSense system, it is recommended to
126
remove or close the trailer hitch assembly
when the vehicle is not being used for
towing.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM
Lane Departure Warning Operation
The Lane Departure Warning system uses a
forward looking camera located on the wind-
shield to detect lane markings and measure
vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are detected and
the vehicle passes over one without an acti-
vated turn signal, the system emits a visual as
well as an acoustic signal.

If the vehicle continues to go beyond the line
of the lane without any intervention from the
driver, the surpassed line will light up on the
display (left or right) to urge the driver to bring
the vehicle back into the limits of the lane.
CAUTION!
Projecting loads on the roof of the vehicle
may interfere with the correct operation of
the camera. Before starting, make sure
the load is correctly positioned in order
not to cover the camera operating range.
Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects.
CAUTION! (Continued)
Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rearview mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact your authorized
dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be compro-
mised by the presence of dust, condensa-
tion, dirt or ice on the windshield, by traffic
conditions (e.g. vehicles that are driving
not aligned with yours, vehicle driving in a
transverse or opposite way on the same
lane, bend with a small radius of curva-
ture), by road surface conditions and by
driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving).
Make sure the windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths
to avoid scratching the windshield. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due to
scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively an authorized dealer. Do not
replace the windshield on your own. It is
(Continued)
advisable to replace the windshield if it is
damaged in the area of the camera.
