FAILURE WARNINGS
In case of parking sensor failure, the driver is warned
when engaging reverse by high sound warning (for 3
seconds).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
The system is preset for deactivating automatically
when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car
tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing the trailer
cable plug.
For proper operation, the parking sensors set on the bumpers shall be clean from mud, dirt, snow or
ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use
therefore dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if
required. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing
nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are always under the driver’s responsibility. He/she
shall always check the absence of people (specially children) or animals in the
manoeuvre space. This system is just a help for the driver but he shall never reduce
attention during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed.
