❍ Ultrasound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes on lorries
or pneumatic hammers) in the vicinity may affect the per-
formance of the sensors.
❍ The sensors could detect an object that is not there
(echo disturbance) caused by mechanical disturbances, for
example: washing the car, rain, extreme wind conditions,
hail.
❍ The sensors might not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, parking deterrents, rub-
bish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
check that the vehicle and its path are effectively compat-
ible with the parking area identified by the system.
❍ The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a different
size to those at the time the vehicle was purchased could
affect the operation of the system.
❍ If the battery is disconnected or very run down, before
the Magic Parking system is available it is necessary to dri-
ve a few hundred metres, not in a straight line, to initial-
ize the system.
❍ If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly inserted) the
Magic Parking system will automatically be disabled.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
❍ If the Magic Parking system is in the "search in
progress" mode, the system could incorrectly identify a
parking space and carry out the manoeuvre (e.g. by a junc-
tion, carriage track, roads crossing the direction of travel,
etc.)
❍ In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gra-
dient, the performance of the system could be inferior and
it may deactivate.
❍ If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out between
two parked vehicles alongside the pavement, the Magic
Parking system may cause the vehicle to mount the pave-
ment.
❍ Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not be car-
ried out.
❍ Take great care to ensure that conditions do not change
during the parking manoevure (e.g. if there are persons
and/or animals in the parking area, moving vehicles, etc.)
and intervene immediately if necessary.
❍ During parking manoeuvres, pay special attention to
vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Always
follow the Highway Code.
