End of manoeuvre

The semi-automatic manoeuvre ends
when the display shows the message of a
completed manoeuvre. At the end of the
manoeuvre, the system gives back the
car control to the driver.
Important information
If the sensors undergo collision
which alters their position, the system
operation could be greatly affected.
The sensors reach top performance
after the car has gone about 50 km/h
due to the dynamic tyre circumference
calculations used for parking.
Clean the Active ParkSense (Automatic
Park Assist) sensors regularly, taking
care not to scratch or damage them. The
sensors must not be covered with ice,
snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris, to
avoid system malfunctions. The Active
ParkSense (Automatic Park Assist)
system might not detect an obstacle
behind or in front of the bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind or in front of the
bumper.
Construction equipment, large trucks,
and other vibrations could affect the
performance of Active ParkSense
(Automatic Park Assist).
Sensors may detect a non-existent
obstacle (echo noise) due to mechanical
noises, for example while washing the
car or in the case of rain, strong wind,
and hail.
The sensors may not detect objects
of a particular shape or made from
particular materials (very thin poles,
trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes,
anti-parking posts, pavements, rubbish
bins, motor vehicles, etc.). Always take
great care to check that the car and its
path are actually compatible with the
parking place identified by the system.
The use of wheels and tyres that are
different size to the original equipment
could affect the operation of the system.
The operation of the rear sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electric plug is inserted in the
vehicle's tow hook socket, while the front
sensors stay active and can provide
acoustic and visual warnings. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated
when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
In "Search in progress" mode, the
system could incorrectly identify a
parking place to carry out the manoeuvre
(e.g. by a junction, driveways, roads
crossing the direction of travel, etc.).
In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the performance of
the system could be inferior and it may
deactivate.
Some manoeuvres at very tight bends
might be impossible to be carried out.
Take great care to ensure that
conditions do not change during the
parking manoeuvre (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking
place, moving vehicles, etc.) and
intervene immediately if necessary.
During parking manoeuvres, pay
attention to vehicles approaching from
the opposite direction. Always abide by
the law and road regulations.
