FIAT Bravo - Manual (Page 130)

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
The information concerning the presence and
distance of an obstacle from the vehicle is
transmitted by means of acoustic signals from
buzzers installed in the passenger compartment:
❒ in the versions with 4 rear sensors, a buzzer
in the front dashboard area warns of the
presence of rear obstacles;
❒ in the versions with 8 sensors (4 front and 4 rear
sensors), a front buzzer warns of the presence of
obstacles at the front and a buzzer located at
the rear warns of the presence of obstacles
at the rear. This notifies the driver of the
direction (front/rear) of the obstacles.
When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent
acoustic signal is automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒ 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;
❒ remains constant if the distance remains
unchanged; if this situation concerns the side
sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3
seconds to avoid, for example, warning
indications in the event of manoeuvres along
walls.
WARNING
For correct 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 using clean water with the addition of
car shampoo if necessary. In washing stations,
clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour
jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.
WARNING
Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the
area of the sensors carried out by a Fiat
Dealership. Incorrect paint application could
affect the operation of the parking sensors.
SENSOR OPERATING RANGE
The sensors allow the system to check the front
part (version with 8 sensors) and rear part of the
vehicle.
Their position covers the middle and side areas of
the front and rear of the vehicle.
