PARKING SENSORS

(where provided)

Parking sensors are located in the rear

bumper fig. 101 and their function is to

inform the driver, through an intermittent

buzzer, about the presence of obstacles

behind the car.

ACTIVATION

The sensors are automatically activated

when the reverse gear is engaged.

As the distance from the obstacle behind

the car decreases, the acoustic alarm be-

comes more frequent.

BUZZER WARNINGS

When the reverse gear is engaged an in-

termittent acoustic signal is automatically

activated.

The acoustic signal:

❒

becomes louder as the reduction of dis-

tance between the car and the obstacle

decreases;

❒

becomes continuous when the distance

between the car and the obstacle is less

that 30 cm and stops immediately if the

distance increases;

❒

is constant if the distance is unvaried;

if this situation concerns the side sen-

sors, the buzzer will stop after about

3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-

ing indications in the event of manoeu-

vres along walls.

Detection distances

Central action radius 150 cm

Side action radius 60 cm

If several obstacles are detected, the con-

trol unit indicates the nearest one.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

Parking sensor failures, if any, will be in-

dicated when engaging reverse by the

turning on of the instrument panel warn-

ing light

t

together with the message on

the multifunction display, where provided

(see section “Warning lights and mes-

sages”).
