Cleaning The Sensors; Sensor Range - Ferrari 599 GTB FIORANO Owner's Manual

However, the driver remains fully
responsible for parking manoeuvres
WARNING WARNING
and in other potentially dangerous
situations. The system has been
designed only as a supplementary
aid during parking manoeuvres,
since it allows the driver to detect
obstacles outside his field of vision.
Use of the sensors therefore does
not mean that the driver can be less
careful and attentive and not watch
out for persons and obstacles during
parking manoeuvres.
The parking system sensors, housed in the
rear bumper, are activated automatically,
with the key at position II, when reversing.
If the vehicle is equipped with front
sensors, these can be activated by pressing
the relative button on the centre console.
When reverse gear is engaged, an acoustic
signal (beep) warns the driver that the
system is active.
The system then begins to beep as soon
as an obstacle is detected, and the tone
frequency increases as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle.
When the obstacle is located at a distance
of less than 35 cm (13.8 in.), the beep is
continuous.
The warning beep stops immediately if
the distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle increases.
The tone cycle is constant if the distance
measured by the central sensors remains
unaltered.
For the TFT display graphic configuration,
please consult the "Carrozzeria Scaglietti"
Owner's Manual.

Cleaning the sensors

When cleaning the sensors, take special
care not to scratch or damage them;
therefore, do not use dry, rough or hard
cloths.
The sensors must be washed with clean
water, possibly with car shampoo added.
About your vehicle
In car-washes which use steam jet or high
pressure cleaning machines, keep the
nozzle at least 10 cm (4 in.) away from
the sensors.
Should you need to repaint the bumper
or in case of paint touch-ups in the sensor
area, please contact exclusively the
Ferrari Service Network. Incorrect
painting/touch-ups could jeopardise the
parking sensor operation.

Sensor range

The sensors allow the system to monitor
the rear of the vehicle, as their position
covers the central and lateral zones at the
rear of the vehicle.
In the event of an obstacle located in a
mid area, this will be detected at distances
of less than 1.40 m (55 in.), depending on
the type of obstacle and its dimensions.
If the obstacle is located in a lateral
position, it will be detected at distances of
less than 0.8 m (31.5 in.).
