System activation/deactivation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system (when active) activates the rear
sensors.
Engaging a different gear deactivates
the sensors.
WARNING In particular operating
conditions the system could start
detecting the obstacle only after the car
has moved slightly (a few centimetres).
Acoustic warning
In the presence of an obstacle behind the
car, an acoustic warning with variable
frequency is emitted:
it increases as the distance between
the car and the obstacle decreases;
it becomes continuous when the
distance between the car and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops if
the distance from the obstacle increases;
it remains constant if the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged.
If the sensors detect several obstacles,
the acoustic signal concerning the
closest obstacle is emitted, or an
intermittent signal if the obstacles are at
the same distance.
When the system emits an acoustic
signal, the volume of the Connect
07176S0016EM
system, if activated, is automatically
lowered.
Warnings on the display
The Park Sensors system signals are
shown along with an acoustic indication
only if the relative function was enabled
on the Connect system.
To access the function, on the main
menu select the following items in
sequence: "Settings", "Driver Assistance",
"Parking sensors", "Mode" and "Sound
and Display".
The system indicates the presence of
an obstacle by displaying a single arc in
one of the possible areas, in accordance
with the distance of the object and the
position in relation to the car.
If the obstacle is detected in the rear
central area, a single arc will be displayed
as the obstacle approaches, first
constant, then flashing, in addition to an
acoustic signal.
If the obstacle is detected in the rear left
and/or right area, a single flashing arc
will be shown in the corresponding area
on the display and the system will emit
an acoustic signal, either at frequent
intervals or constantly.
If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the rear area, the
display will show all of them, regardless
of the area in which they were detected.
In general, the car is closer to the
obstacle when a single or several flashing
arcs are shown on the display and the
acoustic warning becomes continuous.
The colour on the display depends on
the distance from and position of the
obstacle.
It is possible to exit from the display
screen by pressing the Rotary Pad. In any
case: the acoustic warning will remain
active.
Fault indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated by a message on the display on
the instrument panel (see description
in the "Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).
Messages on the display
In case of system failure, a dedicated
message appears on the instrument
panel for about 5 seconds.
