Parking Sensors; Audible Warning - Fiat Ducato Owner's Manual

PARKING SENSORS

(for versions/markets where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the rear bumper, fig. 127
and their function is to inform the driver, through an in-
termittent buzzer, about the presence of obstacles behind
the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse
gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer to the
bumper, the buzzer becomes more frequent.

AUDIBLE WARNING

When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent beeping is
automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒ increases as the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops im-
mediately if the distance increases;
❒ remains constant if the distance remains unchanged; if
this situation concerns the side sensors, the buzzer will
stop after about 3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of manoeuvres along walls.
Detection distances
Central operating range 140 cm ±10 cm.
Side operating range 60 cm ±20 cm.
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor failures will be indicated when engaging
t
reverse by the warning light in the instrument panel to-
gether with the message in the multifunction display com-
ing on for versions/markets where provided (see "Warning
lights and messages" section).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is automatically deactivated
when the trailer electric plug is inserted in the vehicle tow
hook socket.
