Parking Manoeuvre - Ferrari F430 Owner's Manual

Parking manoeuvre

To assist the driver during parking manoeu-
vres, the vehicle can come equipped with
four sensors housed in the front and rear
bumper.
For the system to operate correctly,
the sensors positioned on the bump-
ers must be kept clean (remove any mud,
dirt, snow or ice).
During parking manoeuvres, the sensors
provide the driver with information on the
distance between the vehicle and obstacles
found in front of or behind it.
The information on the presence and dis-
tance of the obstacle is given to the driver
by means of a series of beeps, which are
emitted with increasing frequency as the
obstacle gets closer.
The acoustic warning generated by the
system adds to the driver's field of vision,
allowing him/her to avoid hitting any ob-
stacles during manoeuvres.
The driver is in any case always
responsible for parking and other
potentially dangerous manoeuvres. The
system has in fact been designed only as aid
during parking manoeuvres, since it allows
the driver to detect obstacles outside his/
her field of vision.
The front and rear sensors of the parking
system are automatically activated when
the key is turned to position II (On), when
reversing.
When reverse gear is engaged, a beep warns
the driver that the system is active.
3 - Driving your vehicle
The front sensors can be activated by press-
ing the button on the panel to the left of the
steering wheel; when the front sensors are
activated, the LED integrated in the button
turns on. To deactivate the sensors, press
the button again.
When reverse gear is disengaged, the rear
sensors are deactivated while the front sen-
sors remain active until a speed of about 15
km/h is exceeded.
When the sensors are activated, the system
begins to beep as soon as an obstacle is
detected and the beep frequency increases
as the obstacle gets closer.
When the obstacle is at a distance of less
than 40 cm from the bumper, a continuous
beep is emitted.
The warning beep stops immediately if
the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle increases.
