PARKING EXIT WARNING
Using information from the radars installed on each side of the rear bumper (area A), the system notifies the driver when another vehicle appears in the detection zone B.
The function is activated if:
- reverse gear is engaged;
and
- the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low speed.
Special feature
Make sure that the radar area A is not obscured (by stickers, mud, snow etc.).
If a radar is obscured, the message “Side radars no visibility” will appear on the instrument panel. Clean the area where the sensors are located.
The system’s detection capability depends on the vehicle’s surroundings (static objects etc.), the condition of the bumper etc.
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle.
Activation/deactivation from the multimedia screen 1
To activate or deactivate the function, refer to the multimedia instructions.
Select “ON” or “OFF”.
Operation
The function warns you if a vehicle is in area B and is approaching your vehicle.
The 2 indicator is displayed on the door mirrors 3 on both sides.
Note: clean the rear view mirrors 3 regularly so that the indicators 2 can be seen.
The 4 indicators on the multimedia screen show you on which side the approaching vehicle has been detected.
Note: clean the camera regularly so that it is not obscured.
Indicators 2 and 4 are accompanied by an audible signal when your vehicle is reversing.
Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the message “Side radars to check” is displayed on the instrument panel. Consult an approved dealer.
Due to the presence of sensors behind the bumper, it is advisable to entrust any operation on the bumper (repair, replacement, paintwork, etc.) to a qualified professional.
Limitation of the system operation
- The radar area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the system.
- Small objects (motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians etc.) moving towards to the vehicle may not be recognised by the system.
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
- the radar area A has been damaged (rear bumper);
- the vehicle is fitted with a towbar that is not recognised by the system.
