SYSTEM OPERATION
52) 51)
When searching for a parking place,
the system uses the side sensors,
which are automatically activated with
engine on and speed below 30 km/h.
During the manoeuvre the driver is
also assisted by information from the
parking sensors which provide further
distance information when approaching
obstacles in front of and behind the
vehicle.
If the driver activates
the Active ParkSense ® function
after having previously deactivated
the ParkSense ® function, the sensors
are activated once more and stay in
this operating condition only during the
F1A0706
parking manoeuvre.

PARKING DESCRIPTION
Activation
Press the button on the dashboard:
after being selected, the system
activates search mode. Considering
that the system recognises parking
places even when it has not been
selected, it can be activated even
immediately after passing close to a
parking place suitable for the type of
car. The system will inform the driver,
through the instrument panel display,
about the operations to be performed
for a correct manoeuvre.
Selecting the type of parking
During the search and until the reverse
gear is engaged, the preferred type can
be selected for parking:
"Parallel" : the vehicle will search a
parking place parallel to the driving
direction;
"Perpendicular" : the vehicle will
search a parking place perpendicular to
the driving direction.
Selection of the search side
To select the search side and perform
the correct manoeuvre, act as follows:
Select the search for the parking
place and the manoeuvre on the
passenger side placing the direction
indicator in centre position (deactivated)
or pushed upwards.
Select the search for the parking
area and manoeuvre on the driver
side pushing the direction indicator
downwards.
Search for a parking place
149) 150)
Through the side sensors, the
system continuously searches for a
free parking place, suitable for the
dimensions of the vehicle.
While searching the vehicle should
continue following its route at a speed
of below 30 km/h and at a distance of
around 50 cm to 1.5 m from parked
vehicles.
A parking space is considered suitable
if it is approximately 1 m longer
compared to the vehicle dimensions.
