PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
Parking sensors inform the driver about
the presence of obstacles behind the car
(versions fitted with 4 rear sensors) or be-
hind and in front of the car (versions fit-
ted with 4 rear sensors and 4 front sen-
sors).
This system is therefore an aid for the dri-
ver when parking the car since it detects
obstacles out of the driver’s sight range.
The driver is warned of the presence and
distance from the obstacle by an inter-
mittent buzzer (the sound of the buzzer
becomes more frequent as the reduction
of distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases).
SENSORS
To detect obstacles the system used 4 sen-
sors located on the front bumper (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) fig. 110
and 4 sensors located on the rear bumper
fig. 111.
ACTIVATION
Version with 4 sensors
In the version with 4 rear sensors, the sys-
tem turns on automatically when reverse
is engaged.
Version with 8 sensors
In the version with 4 rear sensors and 4
front sensors, the system activates when
reverse is engaged or when the button is
pressed
t fig. 112.
When reverse is released, the rear sen-
sors and front sensors remain active un-
til a speed of approximately 15 km/h is ex-
ceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre
to be completed.
The system may be activated by pressing
the button
t fig. 112 located on the
centre panel: a warning light on the but-
ton comes on when the system is active.
For each rotation of the ignition key on
MAR position, LED on
t button flash-
ing briefly to indicate that the system is
making a diagnosis. The lighting of the LED
is not therefore to be understood as a
cause of abnormality.
