Warning
However, the responsibility when parking and in other
DIMMING potentially dangerous situations, remains that of the driver.
Indeed, the system has only been designed as an aid when
parking since it detects obstacles that are outside the driver's
range of visibility.
The use of sensors is therefore not a substitute for the care
and attention of the driver when parking and checking for the
presence of persons or objects.
Important note
If distance B (see page 111) is less than 400 mm, the parking
sensors will not allow the top to be opened or closed the 1st
time the switch is pressed.
When the vehicle is also equipped with front sensors, only the rear
sensors or front sensors can be activated/deactivated using the TFT
display menu.
When the rear sensors are activated, an acoustic signal warns the
driver that the system has been activated.
If an obstacle is detected at maximum distance in the central front
The system then starts to emit acoustic signals as soon as an part, it will be displayed as shown (green):

approaches.
When the obstacles is at a distance of less than 35 cm from
the bumper, a continuous sound is emitted and the relevant
area becomes red on the TFT display (minimum distance, see
page 136).
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the distance from the
obstacle increases.

DCT Dual Clutch Transmission:
each clutch is assigned a part of the gearbox, one designed for engaging even gears, the other for odd gears.
Once a gear has been engaged, the system has already preselected the next one. Once the correct number of revs has
been reached, a clutch opens whereas at the same time the other one closes so that the traction force is not interrupted.

EPB Electric Parking Brake:
the system operates by way of an ECU and an electric motor on the brake shoes of the rear brakes.
F1-Trac Traction control derived from the technologies used in the racing sector. The system can estimate the maximum available
grip in advance by continuously monitoring the relative wheel speed and using an auto-adaptive operation logic.
Comparing this information with the vehicle dynamics model stored in the control system, F1-Trac, optimises the vehicle
