PARKING SENSORS
(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
sensors located on the front bumper
(where provided) fig. 105 and 4 sensors
located on the rear bumper fig. 106.
ACTIVATION

In the version with 4 rear sensors, the sys-

DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS
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. 107.
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. 107 located on the
centre panel: a warning light on the but-
ton comes on when the system is active.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing
the
t fig. 107 again or exceeding a
speed of 15 km/h: the warning light on the
button is off when the system is inactive.
When the sensors are activated, the sys-
tem begins to emit acoustic signals from
the front or rear indicators as soon as an
obstacle is detected. The frequency aris-
es as soon as the car approaches the ob-
stacle.
