After Sales Training
A continuous signal indicates that the distance from the obstacle is smaller than 30 cm. If
several obstacles are found, the nearest obstacle will be signalled on approaching. The
acoustic signal will immediately cease if the obstacle distance increases.
The sound cycle remains constant if the distance measured by the central sensors does not
change; conversely, if this situation occurs with the side sensors, the signal will be interrupted
after 3 seconds (in order to avoid, for instance, signals in case of manoeuvres along walls
parallel to the vehicle axis).
If a trailer is coupled with the vehicle, rear obstacles will not be signalled.
The system covers the vehicle’s rear side and median areas.
If the obstacle is positioned in the median rear area, the obstacle will be detected at a distance
of less than 1,50 m. If the obstacle is positioned in a side area, the obstacle will be detected at
a distance of less than 0.6 m.

Failure to even one single sensor will disable the operation of the entire system: in this case,
the system will cut itself off and send a failure message.
