PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 95 and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle comes
closer to the bumper, the buzzer becomes
more frequent.
BUZZER WARNING
When reverse gear is engaged, an inter-
mittent buzzer automatically turns on (a
short beep to indicate the activation of the
system).
The beep:
❒ becomes louder as the vehicle goes
closer to the obstacle;
❒ becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
inferior to 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance increases;
❒ is constant if the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle does not
change.
Detection distances
Central operating range 120 cm
Side operating range 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the parking sensors is indi-
cated when engaging reverse gear by a
beep lasting 3 seconds.

The sensors must be clean
from mud, dirt, snow or ice in
order to work correctly. Be
careful not to scratch or dam-
age the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths.
Wash the sensors with clean water with
the addition of car shampoo, if neces-
sary. In washing stations, clean sensors
quickly keeping the vapour jet/high
pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.
