STARTING AND OPERATING
Construction equipment, large trucks, and
other vibrations could affect the performance
of ParkSense.
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 partic
-
ular 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 automat
-
ically 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 warn
-
ings. The rear sensors are automatically reac
-
tivated 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
with an incline, the performance of the
system could be inferior and it may deacti
-
vate.
If a parking maneuver is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the system may cause the vehicle
to mount the pavement.
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 the opposite
direction. Always abide by the law and road
regulations.
NOTE:
Correct system operation is not guaranteed if
snow chains or the spare tire are fitted.
The function only informs the driver about the
last appropriate parking place (parallel or
perpendicular) detected by the parking
sensors.
Some messages displayed are accompanied
by acoustic warnings.

PERATION
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds
above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph
(180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a
forward looking camera to detect lane markings
and measure vehicle position within the lane
boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the
driver unintentionally drifts out of the lane (no
turn signal applied), the LaneSense system
provides a haptic warning in the form of torque
applied to the steering wheel to prompt the
driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If
the driver continues to unintentionally drift out
