STARTING AND DRIVING

example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres along a wall.
If several obstacles are detected by
the sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
Warning on display
The warnings regarding the Park Assist
system are shown on the instrument
panel display only if the "Acoustic
warning and display" item in the
"Settings" menu of the
Uconnect™
system is selected (see "Settings"
in the section "Vehicle mode" in the
"Multimedia" section).
In addition to the acoustic warning, the
system indicates the presence of an
obstacle in the rear area by displaying
a single arc blinking in one of the
possible areas, in accordance with the
distance of the object and the position
in relation to the car.
In general, the car is closer to the
obstacle when a single flashing arc is
shown on the display and the acoustic
warning becomes continuous.
If several obstacles are detected
simultaneously in the rear area,
the display will show all of them,
regardless of the area in which they
were detected. The colour on the
display depends on the distance from
and position of the obstacle.
Fault indication
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated by a message on the display
(see description in the "Warning
lights and messages" chapter in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
section).
General warnings
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above
or under the sensor. Objects close
to the car are not detected under
certain circumstances and could
therefore cause damage to the car or
be damaged.
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint, on the surface of the sensor;
the sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the car, in rain (strong
wind), hail;
the signals sent by the sensor can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle;
the performance of the system can
be influenced by the position of the
sensors, e.g. by changing the set-
up of the car (due to wear of shock
absorbers or suspensions), replacing
the tyres with others of different sizes,
travelling with a laden car, installing
specific set-ups to lower the car;
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to
place stickers on the sensors.
VERSIONS WITH 11
SENSORS
The parking sensors, located in the
front bumper fig. 166 e fig. 167 (one
per side) and rear bumper fig. 168,
detect the presence of any obstacles
and warn the driver through an
acoustic warning and, where provided,
visual warnings on the instrument panel
display.
