Parking sensors (optional)
51
Failure indicators The ECU checks all of the system components every time the ignition key is turned to MAR. The sensors and
the respective electric connections are then constantly monitored throughout the the system operation. The failure of the parking system sensors is indicated by the symbol that switches on on the multi-function display accompanied by the message "Parking Sensors Failure". In the event of a failure signal, stop the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the Stop position. Try to clean the sensors and make sure that you are not near ultrasound emitting sources (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic hammers). If the cause that originated the malfunction has been removed by turning the key back to MAR the
system will start working fully efficiently once again and the failure symbol on the multi-function display with the relative message will turn off. If, instead, the warning light remains lit, contact your local Authorized Maserati Dealer to have the system checked, even if it is still working.
As a matter of fact, if the failure detected by the ECU does not jeopardize its operation, the system will continue working but the malfunction will be stored so as to be checked by your local Authorized Maserati Dealer upon a subsequent inspection.
WARNING: During parking manoeuvres, always take the utmost care over obstacles that could be located above or underneath the sensors. In fact, in certain circumstances, objects located near the rear of the vehicle are not detected by the system and therefore could damage the vehicle or be damaged themselves. WARNING: The signals transmitted by the sensors can also be altered by damage to the sensors or by dirt, snow or ice on the latter or even by ultrasound systems (e.g. pneumatic truck brakes or pneumatic hammers) in the vicinity.
The driver is fully responsible for parking and other potentially dangerous
maneuvers. During these maneuvers, always make sure there are no people (especially children) or animals in the maneuvering area. The parking sensors must be considered an aid for the driver who, in any case, must never take less care during potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even if they are carried out at low speeds.
