116 STARTING AND OPERATING
Check Surroundings — Move Forward
End Of Maneuver
The semi-automatic maneuver ends when the
displa
y shows the message of a completed
maneuver. At the end of the maneuver, the system
gives back the vehicle control to the driver.
Important Information
If the sensors undergo impact which alters their
position, the system operation could be greatly
affected.
The sensors reach top performance after the
vehicle has gone about 30 miles (50 km) due to
the dy
namic tire circumference calculations used
for parking.
Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking
care not to scratch or damage them. The sensors
must not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud,
dirt or debris. Failure to do so can result in the
system not working properly. The ParkSense
system might not detect an obstacle behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a
false indication that an obstacle is behind or in
front of the fascia/bumper.
Construction equipment, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the performance of Park-
Sense.
Sensors may detect a nonexistent obstacle (echo
noise) due to mechanical noises, for example
while washing the vehicle 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 vehicle and its path are actually
compatible with the parking place identified by
the system.
The use of wheels and tires that are different size
to the original equipment could affect the opera-
tion 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
maneuver (e.g. by a junction, driveways, roads
crossing the direction of travel, etc.).
In the case of parking maneuvers on roads with
an incline, the performance of the system could
be inferior and it may deactivate.
If a parking maneuver is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the pave-
ment, the system may cause the vehicle to mount
t
he pavement.
Some maneuvers at very tight bends might be
impossible to be carried out.
Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking maneuver (e.g. if there
are persons and/or animals in the parking place,
moving vehicles, etc.) and intervene immediately
if necessary.
During parking maneuvers, pay attention to vehi-
cles approaching from the opposite direction.
Always
abide by the law and road regulations.
NOTE:
Correct system operation is not guaranteed if
snow chains or the spare tire are fitted.
The function only informs the driver about the
last appropriate parking place (parallel or
perpendicular) detected by the parking sensors.
Some messages displayed are accompanied by
acoustic warnings.
