PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets where
applicable)
The parking system detects and informs
the driver (through an intermittent acoustic
signal) about the presence of obstacles in
the rear part of the car (fig. 173).
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
The sound produced by the acoustic alarm
becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less that
30 cm.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent
acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
– raises with the reduction of distance between
the car and the obstacle;
– becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less that
30 cm and stops if the distance raises.
– is constant if the distance is unvaried.
If this situation takes place for side sensors,
the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds
to prevent sound indications when performing
manoeuvres near walls.

ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
The design and construction of the vehicle
have not only been developed with the
traditional aspects of performance and
safety in mind, but also take into account
the increasingly pressing problems tied to
protecting the environment.
The choice of materials, techniques and
particular parts are the result of work which
has made it possible to drastically reduce
the harmful effects on the environment and
guarantee respect for the severest international
norms.
USE OF NON-TOXIC
MATERIALS
None of the components of the vehicle contains
asbestos. The padding and the climate
control system do not contain CFCs which
are held to be responsible for the depletion
of the ozone layer.
The colouring agents and the corrosion inhibitors
used on the nuts, screws and bolts
do not contain cadmium any more, which
could pollute the atmosphere or water tables.
