REAR CAMERA
(PARKVIEW REAR
BACKUP CAMERA)
(where provided)
Every time reverse is engaged, the
display shows the area around the car, as
seen by the rear camera.
The camera is located on the liftgate.
If activated, the grid is positioned on
the image to highlight the width of the
vehicle and the expected reversing path
in accordance with the steering wheel
position. A superimposed central broken
line indicates the center of the vehicle to
facilitate parking maneuvers or tow hook
alignment.
Different colored zones indicate the
distance to the rear of the vehicle.
The following table shows the
approximate distances for each zone:
Zone
Distance to the rear of the
vehicle
Red 0 - 30 cm
Yellow 30 cm - 2 m
Green 2 m or greater
WARNING During parking maneuvers,
always pay close attention to obstacles
that might be above or below the field of
view of the camera.

WARNING
264) The driver is always responsible
for parking and other potentially
dangerous maneuvers. When making
these maneuvers, always make sure that
no people (especially children) or animals
are present in your maneuvering space.
The parking camera serves to assist the
driver, but he or she must always pay full
attention during potentially dangerous
maneuvers, even those executed at low
speeds. In addition, always proceed at a
moderate speed so as to be able to stop in
time if an obstacle is detected.
IMPORTANT
78) To work correctly, it is essential that
the camera is always free from mud, dirt,
snow or ice. When cleaning the camera,
take care not to scratch or damage it;
avoid the use of dry, rough or hard cloths.
The camera must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of car shampoo
if necessary. In washing stations which
use steam or high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the nozzle more
than 10 cm away from the sensors. Do
not affix stickers on the camera.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE
Before refueling, check you are using the
correct type of fuel.
Furthermore, turn off the engine before
refueling.
Gasoline Engine
Only use unleaded petrol with an octane
number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95
(EN228 specification).
Diesel Engine
Only use Diesel fuel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
If the outside temperature is very low,
Diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots with consequent defective
operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of Diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas).
In the event of refueling with diesel
which is unsuitable for the operating
temperature, it is advisable to mix
the diesel with a specific additive,
introducing it to the tank before the
anti-freeze and then the diesel.
When using or parking the car for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
Diesel. In this case, it is also advisable
to keep the tank over 50% full.
