Parking
Engage the handbrake, put the gearshift lever
into
1st
whether parking uphill or downhill,
turn the wheels and turn off the engine (valid
for all versions, both with mechanical and F1
gearbox).
As the
1st
gear is the most reduced, it is
more suited to use the engine as a brake.
When parking on a steep slope, use a wedge
or rock to block the wheels.
Never leave the ignition key in position
II
.
Always remove the key when getting out of
the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
Do not park the vehicle on fl ammable
materials (e.g., paper, grass, dry leaves,
etc.). They could catch fi re if they come
into contact with hot parts of the exhaust
system.
Do not leave the engine running with the
vehicle unattended.
Parking manoeuvre
To assist the driver during parking
manoeuvres, the vehicle can come equipped
with four sensors housed in the front and
rear bumper.
For the system to operate correctly,
the sensors positioned on the
bumpers must be kept clean (remove any
mud, dirt, snow or ice).
During parking manoeuvres, the sensors
provide the driver with information on the
distance between the vehicle and obstacles
found in front of or behind it.
The information on the presence and
distance of the obstacle is given to the
driver by means of a series of beeps, which
are emitted with increasing frequency as
the obstacle gets closer.
The acoustic warning generated by the
system adds to the driver’s fi eld of vision,
allowing him/her to avoid hitting any
obstacles during manoeuvres.
The driver is in any case always
responsible for parking and other
potentially dangerous manoeuvres. The
system has in fact been designed only as aid
during parking manoeuvres, since it allows
the driver to detect obstacles outside his/
her fi eld of vision.
The front and rear sensors of the parking
system are automatically activated when
the key is turned to position
II
(On), when
reversing.
When reverse gear is engaged, a beep warns
the driver that the system is active.
