automatically for exiting the parking
space. If the driver continues to carry out
a voluntary or involuntary action on the
steering wheel during the exit maneuver
(touching or holding the steering wheel
to prevent its movement), the maneuver
will be interrupted.
The system indicates to the driver the
maneuvers to be carried out by means of
the following messages on the display:
Check the surroundings - Stop the
vehicle and remove your hands from the
steering wheel.
Check the surroundings - Wait for
completion of the maneuver
Check the surroundings - Move in
reverse
Check the surroundings - Stop the car
Check the surroundings - Engage
position D (dual clutch automatic
transmission versions) or first gear
(manual transmission versions)
Check the surroundings - Wait for
completion of the maneuver
Check the surroundings - Move forward
Check the surroundings - Stop the car
Check the surroundings - Engage
reverse gear
Check the surroundings - Wait for
completion of the maneuver
Check the surroundings - Move in

The semi-automatic maneuver ends
when the display shows the message of
a completed maneuver. At the end of
the maneuver, the system gives back the
vehicle control to the driver.
Important information
If the sensors undergo collision
which alters their position, the system
operation could be greatly affected.
The sensors reach top performance
after the vehicle has gone about 50 km
due to the dynamic tire circumference
calculations used for parking.
Clean the Active ParkSense (Automatic
Park Assist) sensors regularly, taking
care not to scratch or damage them. The
sensors must not be covered with ice,
snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris, to
avoid system malfunctions. The Active
ParkSense (Automatic Park Assist)
system might not detect an obstacle
behind or in front of the fascia/bumper,
or it could provide a false indication that
an obstacle is behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper.
Construction equipment, large trucks,
and other vibrations could affect the
performance of Active ParkSense
(Automatic Park Assist).
Sensors may detect a nonexistent
obstacle (echo noise) due to mechanical
noises, for example while washing the
vehicle or in the case of rain, strong
wind, and hail.
The sensors may not detect objects
of a particular shape or made from
particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes,
anti-parking posts, pavements, rubbish
bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take
great care to check that the vehicle and
its path are actually compatible with the
parking place identified by the system.
The use of wheels and tires that are
different size to the original equipment
could affect the operation of the system.
The operation of the rear sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electric plug is inserted in the
vehicle's tow hook socket, while the front
sensors stay active and can provide
acoustic and visual warnings. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
In "Search in progress" mode, the
system could incorrectly identify a
parking place to carry out the maneuver
(e.g. by a junction, driveways, roads
crossing the direction of travel, etc.).
In the case of parking maneuvers on
roads on a slope, the performance of
the system could be inferior and it may
deactivate.
Some maneuvers at very tight bends
might be impossible to be carried out.
Take great care to ensure that
conditions do not change during the
parking maneuver (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking
place, moving vehicles, etc.) and
intervene immediately if necessary.
During parking maneuvers, pay
attention to vehicles approaching from
