PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Central operating range 120 cm
Side operating range 60 cm
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 93 and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.

Any failure of the parking sensors is indi-
cated when engaging reverse gear by a
beep lasting 3 seconds.

age the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths.
Wash the sensors with clean water with
the addition of car shampoo, if neces-
sary. In washing stations, clean sensors
quickly keeping the vapour jet/high
pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.
❒ becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
inferior to 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance increases;
❒ is constant if the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle does not
change.
