Parking Sensors - Fiat Ducato Owner's Handbook Manual

PARKING SENSORS

(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 107 and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind
the vehicle decreases, the acoustic alarm
becomes more frequent.

BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒ becomes louder as the reduction of
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the dis-
tance between the vehicle and the ob-
stacle is less than 30 cm and stops im-
mediately if the distance raises;
❒ is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example,
warning indications in the event of
manoeuvres along walls.
Detection distances
Central action radius 140 cm ±10 cm
Side action radius 60 cm ±20 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures, if any, will be in-
F0N0119m
dicated when engaging reverse by the
turning on of the instrument panel warn-
t
ing light together with the message on
the multifunction display, where provided
(see section "Warning lights and mes-
sages").
