Parking sensors
To assist the driver during parking
manoeuvres, the vehicle is equipped
with four sensors housed in the rear
bumper and four sensors in the front
bumper (optionals in the latter case).
During parking maneuvers, 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 fi eld 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 fi eld of vision.
The front and rear parking sensors are
automatically activated when the key
is turned to
MAR , when reversing.
If the vehicle is also equipped with
front sensors, these may be activated
by pressing button
A . When the
front sensors are active, the button
illuminates with an amber colour.
To deactivate the sensors, press the
button
A once again. When reverse
gear is disengaged, all the sensors
remain active. The rear sensors remain
active for about 10 seconds, until a
speed of approx. 10 km/h (6 mph) is
exceeded. The front sensors remain
active until a speed of about 10 km/h
(6 mph) is exceeded.
When the rear or front sensors are
activated, an acoustic signal (beep)
warns the driver that the system is
active.
When the sensors are activated, the
system begins to beep as soon as an
obstacle is detected, and the tone
frequency increases as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle.
The acoustic signals are emitted
by two buzzers, one under the
dashboard (if the vehicle is equipped
with front sensors) and one in
proximity of the luggage shelf.
When the obstacle is located at a
distance of less than 35 cm
(14 in) from the bumper, the beep is
continuous. The warning beep stops
immediately if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle increases.
The tone cycle is constant if the
distance measured by the central
sensors remains unaltered, while
if this occurs with the side sensors,
the acoustic signal stops after
approximately 7 seconds, to prevent
for example continuous beeps in the
event of manoeuvres alongside walls.
