Version with 8 sensors
On the version with 4 front sensors and 4 rear sensors, the
system is activated when reverse gear is engaged or by
pressing the button fig. 8. If there has been a request to
activate the Magic Parking system, the front and rear sen-
sors are not automatically activated during the search for
a parking space, but can be activated by pressing the spe-
cial button (fig. 82) or by engaging reverse gear when
the speed is below around 15 km/h.
When reverse gear is released, the front and rear sensors
remain activated until a speed of around 15 km/h is ex-
ceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre to be completed.
The system can also be activated by pressing the button
fig. 82 in the centre panel: a warning light in the button
comes on when the system is activated.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button again
fig. 82 or when a speed of 15 km/h is exceeded: the warn-

ing light in the button remains off when the system is not
activated.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts to pro-
duce acoustic signals from the front or rear buzzers as soon
as an obstacle is detected with the frequency increasing as
the obstacle gets closer.
When the obstacle is less than about 30 cm away, the
sound becomes continuous. Depending on the position of
the obstacle (in front or behind) the sound is produced by
the corresponding buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle
closest to the vehicle is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the distance of
the obstacle increases. The sound cycle remains constant
if the distance measured by the centre sensors remains un-
changed, whilst if this situation occurs for the side sen-
sors, the signal is interrupted after about 3 seconds (for
example, to prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres
alongside walls).
The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous manoeu-
vres still rests with the driver. When parking, make
sure that no-one is standing in the area, especially
children or animals. Parking sensors are designed
to assist drivers: in all cases, you must always pay
the utmost attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when carried out at low speed.
