STARTING AND OPERATING 217
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 dynamic tire circumference calcula-
tions 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 prop-
erly. 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 ParkSense.
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 operation of the system.
The operation of the rear sensors is automat-
ically 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 warn-
ings. The rear sensors are automatically reac-
tivated 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
on a slope, 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
pavement, the system may cause the vehicle
to mount the 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
vehicles approaching from the opposite
direction. Always abide by the law and road
regulations.
