GENERAL WARNINGS
❒ When parking, take the utmost care to

obstacles that may be set above or un-
der the sensors.

❒ Objects set close to the car rear part,

under certain circumstances are not de-
tected and could therefore cause dam-
ages to the car.

❒ Indications sent by the sensors can be

altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of sensor failures, the driver
is warned when engaging reverse by a 3-
second beep.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER

Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.

Sensors are reactivated automatically
when removing the trailer cable plug.

For proper operation, the
parking sensors shall always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sen-

sors, take the utmost care to prevent
their damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be
washed with clean water and car de-
tergent, if required. In washing stations,
clean sensors quickly keeping the
vapour jet/high pressure washing noz-
zles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.

Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-

ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.
