IMPORTANT
212)
The Panoramic Camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that objects
that are outside the camera's field of view
and the parking assist sensors, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the vehicle, are
not displayed. Do not reverse or park the
vehicle using only the Panoramic Camera.
Always check the surrounding of the
vehicle before and during driving.
213)
Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
WARNING
89)
It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of vehicle
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.

REAR CLOSE OBSTACLE
DETECTION (VERSIONS
WITH 4 SENSORS)
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals and display indication
on Uconnect™ 10.25"/10.25" NAV
screen against potentially hazardous
obstacles behind the vehicle while
reverse gear is engaged.
212 F6S0021
The system operates with ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Indication
As soon as an obstacle gets closer to
the vehicle, telltale flashes (if
provided) and you will hear acoustic
warning signals coming from the
direction where the closest obstacle
is. The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. The sound
becomes continuous if the obstacle
approaches the red area.
Via Uconnect™ 10.25"/10.25" NAV
the sound volume can be regulated
and it can be temporarily muted (where
the function is provided) when an
obstacle is detected. If the sound is
muted, it's automatically unmuted
during the next manoeuvre.
The sound volume can be regulated
and muted (where the function is
