❒ The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered

by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near
the vehicle.

❒ Parking assistance system performance can also be

influenced by the position of the sensors, for
example due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers,
suspension), or by changing tyres, overloading the
car or carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the car to be lowered.

❒ The presence of a tow hook without trailer

interferes with the correct operation of the
parking sensors. If a fixed tow hook is installed, the
sensors cannot be used. If the customer installs a
removable tow hook, this must always be
disconnected from the crossmember whenever
the trailer is not attached to prevent the activation
of the sensors.

WARNING

The responsibility for parking and other

dangerous manoeuvres always and in

every case lies with the driver.When making
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people (especially children) or animals are
present in your manoeuvering space.The parking
sensors serve to assist the driver, but must never
allow his attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those executed at
low speeds.

DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC POWER

STEERING

IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly,
full power steering functionality can be achieved after
a few seconds.
