DISPLAY INDICATIONS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the sensor is activated, the "Reconfigurable multifunctional
display" (for versions/markets where provided) shows the screen
illustrated in fig. 88a; the information about the presence of and
distance from the obstacle is given by the buzzer and also by a
visual indication on the instrument panel display. If there are se-
veral obstacles, the closest one is indicated.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When reverse gear is engaged a buzzer warning is automatically
activated if there is an obstacle within the range of operation.
The acoustic signal:
❍ increases as the distance between the car and the obstacle de-
creases;
❍ becomes continuous when the distance between the car and
the obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops immediately if the
distance increases;
fig. 88a
❍ remains constant if the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle remains unchanged, whilst if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the signal is interrupted after about 3 seconds,
for example, to prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres along-
side walls.
IMPORTANT The volume of the audible signal can be adjusted th-
rough the option "Warnings volume" of the "Set-Up menu".
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically turned off when the trail-
er electric cable plug is fitted into the car tow hook socket. The sen-
sors are automatically enabled again when the trailer cable plug
is removed.
The sensor must be free of mud, dirt, snow or ice
in order for the system to work. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors should
be washed using clean water with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary. In washing stations, clean sensors quick-
ly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing noz-
zles at a distance of at least 10 cm from the sensors.
