Operation Manual

PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 66
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 obstacle behind the
vehicle gets closer to the car, the buzzer becomes
more frequent.
WARNING BUZZER
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the car a buzzer is activated and the
signal varies as the distance of the obstacle from
the bumper varies.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒ increases as the distance between car and obstacle
decreases
❒ becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases
❒ is constant if the distance is unchanged.
Detection distances
Centre operating radius 140 cm.
Side operating radius 60 cm.
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only
the nearest one is considered.
FAILURE WARNING
Any parking sensor failures will be indicated when
engaging reverse by the warning light
in the
instrument panel together with the message in the
multifunction display (for versions/markets where
provided) (see “Warning lights and messages”
section).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is automatically deactivated when
the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted in the car's
tow hook socket. The sensors are automatically
enabled again when the trailer's cable plug is
removed.
