GENERAL WARNINGS
❒
When parking, watch out for obstacles
that may be above or under the sensors.
❒
Sometimes, objects placed close to the
car are not detected and could there-
fore cause damage to the car or be
damaged themselves.
❒
Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasonic systems
(e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-
matic hammers) near the car.
For correct operation, sensors
must always be clean from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be
careful not to scratch or dam-
age 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.
Parking manoeuvres however
are always the driver’s re-
sponsibility. When making these ma-
noeuvres, always make sure that no
people (especially children) or animals
are present in your maneuvering
space. The parking sensors serve to as-
sist the driver, but must never allow his
or her attention to lapse during po-
tentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
WARNING
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is automatically deacti-
vated when the trailer’s electric cable plug
is fitted in the car’s tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again
when the trailer’s cable plug is removed.
When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam clean-
ing, clean the sensors very quickly keep-
ing the jet more than 10 cm away.
