Parking sensors
To assist the driver during parking
maneuvers, the vehicle is equipped
with four sensors housed in the rear
bumper and four sensor in the front
bumper.
During parking manoeuvres, the
parking sensors provide the driver
with information on the distance
between obstacles found behind
and in front of the vehicle. The
information about the obstacle
distance is given to the driver by
means of a acoustic and visual signals.
The acoustic signals generated by
the system add to the driver’s field of
vision, allowing him to avoid hitting
any obstacles during manoeuvres.
However, the driver remains
responsible during parking
manoeuvres and in other
potentially dangerous situations. The
system has actually been designed
only as a supplementary aid during
parking manoeuvres, since it allows
the driver to detect obstacles outside
his field of vision.
Extreme caution is required
in case of obstacles whose
shape and volume are
susceptible to be incorrectly detected.
When starting the vehicle after
parking, these obstacles might not be
detected if they are already close to
the bumper.
Always stop when the acoustic signal
becomes steady.
Rear four-sensor system
activation/deactivation
Rear sensors are automatically activated
when the key is turned to
MAR ( ON )
and when the vehicle is put into
reverse. A beeper alerts the driver that
the system is activated. Under these
conditions, the system displays the
detection areas of vehicle’s rear end on
the instrument panel and a beep starts
as soon as an obstacle is detected. When
the vehicle is put out of reverse, the rear
sensors are active for an additional 10
seconds or until the vehicle exceeds a
speed of approx. 6 mph (10 km/h).
Stop & Go function
This function is activated by the
manufacturer and can be deactivated
by the Multi Media System by
accessing the “Configuration” menu.
To deactivate, select the “Define
vehicle parameters” option, then select
“Stop & Go parking sensors” and set
on “Deactivate”. When vehicle speed is
6 mph (10 km/h) or lower, this function
aids the driver in certain traffic
conditions, as it signals that the vehicle
ahead is at the minimum distance.
