PARKING SENSOR
(where provided)
The parking sensor, located in the
rear bumper fig. 90 , detects and in-
forms the driver (through an inter-
mittent acoustic signal) about the
presence of obstacles in the rear part
of the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensor is automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
The sound produced by the acoustic
alarm becomes louder when the dis-
tance between the car and the obsta-
cle decreases.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is auto-
matically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒
becomes louder as the reduction of
distance between the car and the ob-
stacle decreases;
❒
becomes continuous when the dis-
tance between the car and the obsta-
cle is less that 30 cm and stops if the
distance raises;
❒
is constant if the distance is unvaried.
Direction distances
Central action radius 120 cm
Side action radius 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the
sensor indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE WARNINGS
In case of parking sensor failure, the
driver is warned when engaging the
reverse gear by the sound of a buzzer
(for about 3 seconds).
fig. 90 L0C0023m
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifi-
cations (e.g.: installation of anti-
theft device) that could badly affect
performance and safety, cause the
lapse of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with ho-
mologation requirements.
WARNING
Always switch the engine
off, remove the key from
the starting device and actuate the
steering lock before carrying out
any maintenance operation, espe-
cially when the wheels are raised
from the ground. In case this is not
possible (e.g. when the key must be
in MAR position or the engine run-
ning), remove the electric power
steering main fuse before carrying
out any maintenance operation.
