shampoo if necessary. When using special

washing equipment such as high pressure

jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors

very quickly keeping the jet more than 10

cm away.

The warnings sent by the sensor

can also be altered by the presence

of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic

brakes of trucks or pneumatic drills)

near the car.

Start&Stop SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Detection of obstacles in the upper

part of the vehicle (particularly in the

case of vans or chassis cabs) may not

be guaranteed because the system

detects obstacles that could strike the

lower part of the vehicle.

IN BRIEF

The Start&Stop device automatically

stops the engine each time the

vehicle is stationary and all the

conditions for automatic switch-off

have been met, and starts it again

when the driver wants to move off.

This improves the efficiency of the

vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,

the emission of harmful gases and

noise pollution.

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 parking sensors are used

to assist the driver, who must never allow

his attention to lapse during potentially

dangerous manoeuvres, even those

executed at low speeds.
