The system warns the driver about the
presence of vehicles in the detection
area by lighting up, on the relevant side,
the warning light located on the door
mirrorfig.65 and, whereprovided,by
means of an acoustic signal (if the
respective item is programmed on the
Connect system).
The default setting is “Sound and

Sensors
56)
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed equal
to or higher than 6 mph (10 km/h), or
when reverse gear is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
when the vehicle is stationary and the P
(Park) mode active.
The detection area of the system covers
about a lane on both sides of the car
(around 10 ft / 3 metres).
This area begins from the door mirror
and extends for about 20 ft (6 metres)
towards the rear part of the car.
When the sensors are active the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the car and warns the driver
about the possible presence of cars in
these areas.
While driving, the system monitors
the detection zone in three different
situations:
when you are being overtaken by a
vehicle;
when you are overtaking a vehicle;
when a vehicle approaches from the
side;
to check whether it is necessary to send
a signal to the driver on both sides.
Important notes
The system does not signal the presence
of fixed object (e.g. safety barriers,
poles, walls, etc.). However, in some
circumstances, the system may activate
in the presence of these objects. This
behaviour is normal and does not
indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not warn the driver
about the presence of cars coming from
the opposite direction, in the adjacent
lanes.
If a trailer is hitched to the car, the
system automatically deactivates.
For the system to operate correctly,
the rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the road
surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area where
the radar sensors are located with any
object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.).
If, after purchasing the vehicle, you
wish to install the tow hook, you need to
deactivate the system via the Connect
system. To access the function, on the
