PARKINGSENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper to detectand inform the driver,
through an acoustic and visual warning,
of the presence of obstacles at the
rear part of the car. The sound may be
intermittent or continuous depending
on the distance from the obstacle.
99AB0A0288C
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged. The
acoustic warning becomes more
frequent as the obstacle behind the car
gets closer.
ACOUSTICWARNING
When reverse gear is engaged and
there is an obstacle behind the car an
acoustic warning isactivated and the
warning varies asthe distance of the
obstacle from the bumper varies.
The frequency of the acoustic warning:
increases as the distance between
the car and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the
distance betweenthe car and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops if
the distance increases;
is constant if the distance between
the car and the obstacle is unchanged.
Detectiondistances
If several obstacles are detected by
the sensors, onlythe nearest one is
considered.
INDICATIONSON
DISPLAY
When the sensorsare activated, the
screen in fig. 100 appears on the
display.
100AB0A0390C
In addition to the acoustic warning,
information about the presence and
distance from the obstacle is given
visually on the instrument panel display.
The coloured arcsat the rear of the
car indicate that an obstacle has
been detected. The system indicates
a detected obstacle by displaying an
arc according to the distance of the
obstacle and its position in relation to
the car. If an objects is detected to the
rear of the car (to the side or at the
centre), the displayshows an flashing
arc in the corresponding zone and
an intermittent sound is emitted. As
the car approaches the object, the
display shows oneor more flashing
arcs that approach the car, and the
sound becomes more frequent until it
becomes continuous. The colour on
the display depends on the distance
from and position of the obstacle. As
the distance between the car and
obstacle decreases, the arcs change
from yellow to flashing red (to the right,
at the centre or tothe left).
FAULTINDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures, if any, will be
indicated when reverse is engaged by
the switching on of the
symbol on
the instrument panel together with the
message on the display (see "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph).
OPERATIONWITHA
TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer electric cableplug is inserted in
the tow hook socket of the car. The
