PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 77
and their function is to inform the driver, through
an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of
obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when reverse
gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the vehicle
gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal becomes
more frequent.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the car an acoustic signal is activated
which varies according to the distance of the
obstacle from the bumper.
The acoustic signal frequency:
❒ increases as the distance between the car and the
obstacle decreases
❒ becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases
❒ is constant if the distance between car and
obstacle is unchanged.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only
the nearest one is considered.
FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor failures will be indicated when
engaging reverse by the warning light
in the
instrument panel together with the message in the
display (for versions/markets where provided) (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is deactivated automatically when
the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted into the
car's tow hook socket. The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
