PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets where provided)
The parking sensors are located on the rear bumper
fig. 118 and their function is to inform the driver, through
an intermittent beeping, of the presence of obstacles be-
hind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse
gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases,
the beeping becomes more frequent.
AUDIBLE WARNING
When reverse gear is engaged a buzzer warning is auto-
matically activated if there is an obstacle within the range
of operation.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The “GSI” system (Gear Shift Indicator) advises the driver
to change gear via a signal on the instrument panel
(see fig. 117).
Through the GSI, where provided, the driver is advised
that changing gear will reduce fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards cutting fuel con-
sumption, it is recommended to follow the suggestions
of the Gear Shift Indicator.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
N
SHIFT) is shown on the dis-
play, the GSI is advising the driver to select a higher gear,
while the SHIFT DOWN icon (
O
SHIFT) suggests a low-
er gear should be engaged.
