PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper
fig. 101
and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
acoustic signal, about the presence of ob-
stacles 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 be-
comes more frequent.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an inter-
mittent acoustic signal is automatically ac-
tivated.
The acoustic signal:
❒
becomes louder as the distance be-
tween car and obstacle decreases;
❒
becomes continuous when the dis-
tance between the car and the obsta-
cle is less than around 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
❒
is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation occurs for the side sen-
sors, the beeping will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of ma-
noeuvres alongside walls.
Detection distances
Central operating range
150 cm
Side operating range
60 cm
If several obstacles are detected by the sen-
sors, only the nearest one is considered.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor failures will be indi-
cated when reverse is engaged by the
t
warning light in the instrument panel to-
gether with the message in the multi-
function display coming on (for versions/
markets where provided) (see chapter
“Warning lights and messages”).
