B. HOW TO USE IT
1. Attention
Always remember that, even though the
system effectually helps during backing
up manoeuvres, the driver is the only one
responsible during the entire operation.
Always drive safely to avoid damaging
vehicles and/or injuring people.
Backing up operations conducted at high
speed (> 5 km/h) may prevent the PDC from
detecting the presence of obstacles.
Clean sensors and check function before
starting.
2. Temporary failure
The PDC may fail to work correctly under the
following conditions:
• The sensors are fi lthy or covered, for
example, ice/snow.
• The vehicle is close to radio antennae.
• The vehicle is approaching sources of
ultrasound
waves,
motorcycles, etc.
• The ground surface is highly uneven.
• The vehicle's load is unevenly distributed.
• Persistent rainfall or sensors hit by rain.
• The vehicle is too close to the obstacle.
The system's operating range can diminish in
the following conditions:
• The vehicle is parked for a long time in the
sun (high temperatures) or in the cold (low
temperatures).
• The obstacle is poorly refl ective (e.g.: foam
rubber).
3. No detection
The sensors may be unable to detect the
following obstacles due to their poor refl ection
properties:
• Very low, narrow or pointy obstacles
(fences, wires or ropes).
• Obstacles with high absorption properties

such
as
claxons,
(snow, cotton wool).
• Very sharp-edged obstacles.
The PDC may be unable to protect lower
bumper areas.
C. HOW TO MAKE IT WORK
• Turn the engine on.
NOTICE
Make sure the engine is running so as
not to run the vehicle's battery down.
OFF
• Select the reverse gear to activate the PDC.
• The system emits a beep to confi rm it is
operating correctly.
• The system is now ready to detect any
obstacles.
