STARTING AND OPERATING 347
The sensors may not detect objects of a particular shape or
made from particular materials (very thin poles, trailer
beams, panels, nets, bushes, anti-parking posts, pave-
ments, rubbish bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take
great care to check that the vehicle and its path are actually
compatible with the parking place identified by the
system.
The use of wheels and tires that are different size to the
original equipment could affect the operation of the
system.
The operation of the rear sensors is automatically deacti-
vated when the trailer's electric plug is inserted in the
vehicle's tow hook socket, while the front sensors stay
active and can provide acoustic and visual warnings. The
rear sensors are automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
In "Search in progress" mode, the system could incorrectly
identify a parking place to carry out the maneuver (e.g. by
a junction, driveways, roads crossing the direction of
travel, etc.).
In the case of parking maneuvers on roads on a slope, the
performance of the system could be inferior and it may
deactivate.
If a parking maneuver is being carried out between two
parked vehicles alongside the pavement, the system may
cause the vehicle to mount the pavement.
Some maneuvers at very tight bends might be impossible
to be carried out.
Take great care to ensure that conditions do not change
during the parking maneuver (e.g. if there are persons
and/or animals in the parking place, moving vehicles, etc.)
and intervene immediately if necessary.
During parking maneuvers, pay attention to vehicles
approaching from the opposite direction. Always abide by
the law and road regulations.
NOTE:
Correct system operation is not guaranteed if snow chains
or the space-saver wheel are fitted.
The function only informs the driver about the last appro-
priate parking place (parallel or perpendicular) detected
by the parking sensors.
Some messages displayed are accompanied by acoustic
warnings.
