GENERAL WARNINGS
❒ When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles that
may be set above or under the sensors.
❒ Objects set close to the car rear, under certain cir-
cumstances are not detected and could therefore cause
damage to the car or be damaged.
❒ Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by dirt,
snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ultrasound
systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic
hammers) set nearby the car.
For proper operation, sensors must always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed us-
ing clean water with the addition of car shampoo
if necessary. When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean
the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
Parking manoeuvres however are always
under the driver’s responsibility. While ma-
noeuvring, the driver shall always make sure that
no-one is standing in the area, especially children
or animals. The parking sensor is designed to as-
sist drivers, who shall never reduce attention dur-
ing potentially dangerous manoeuvres even if per-
formed at low speed.
