Park Assist
The Park Assist system provides visual and audible indications of the distance between the rear and/or front bumper and a detected obstacle when backing up or moving forward, e.g. during a parking manoeuvre.
Besides the use of the sensors available on the bumpers and of the rear parking camera, the vehicle may be equipped with surround view cameras ( ) to assist the driver during manoeuvres on dead-ends/roads and on intersections. For more details on this option, see chapter “Surround View Camera System” in this section.
Refer to “Park Assist System Usage Precautions” in this chapter for limitations of this system and recommendations. Park Assist settings will retain the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition device is changed to the ON position.
Park Assist system can be active only when the transmission is in R (Reverse), D (Drive) or in movement when in N
(Neutral) mode.
If Park Assist is enabled at one of these gear shift positions, the system will remain active under approximately 11 km/h (7 mph).
NOTE:
When in D (Drive) mode, no information about rear obstacles will be shown.
Park Assist Sensors
The six Park Assist sensors, located in the rear bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the sensor’s field of view. The sensors can detect obstacles from the rear bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and orientation of the obstacle.

Park Assist Warning Messages Display
The Park Assist warning screen is located on the MIA display.
It provides visual warnings to indicate the distance between the rear bumper and/or front bumper and the detected obstacle.
The warning display will turn on:
- In R (Reverse) mode indicating the system status (ready, idle or off) or when the Rear Parking Camera or the Surround View Camera ( ) is manually activated;
In D (Drive) or N (Neutral) mode when the system is active and detects an obstacle.
The detection area in front of the vehicle is divided into three parts with four arcs in the middle one and two arcs in the lateral one; while the three detection areas behind the car into six arcs in the middle one and two arcs in the lateral ones.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by displaying arcs with fixed light and a characteristic sound according to the obstacle distance.
The colour indicates the distance and the arc indicates the position of the detected obstacle. The yellow colour of the outer arc indicates the maximum distance, the orange colour of the middle arcs indicates the medium distance, while the red colour of the nearest arc indicates the minimum distance. The front maximum detection distance is 1.5 m (4.9 ft), while the rear maximum detection distance is 2 m (6.6 ft).
NOTE:
When an obstacle is detected outside the vehicle path, the system displays greyed arcs and the chime will not be active.
As the vehicle moves closer to the object the MIA screen will display the arc moving towards the vehicle and the sound tone will change from single to slow, to fast and to continuous.
The vehicle is close to the obstacle when the MIA screen displays one red arc only, combined with a continuous sound.
NOTE:
- When in D (Drive) mode, if previously not in R (Reverse) mode, the front detection system will active only the two arcs closer to the bumper.
- Park Assist will turn off the front park assist audible alert (chime) after approximately 3 seconds when an obstacle has been detected and the vehicle is stationary.
Enabling and Disabling Park Assist
By accessing the submenu “Safety & Driving Assistant” from MIA system, the “Park Assist” can be enabled or disabled (checkbox “On/Off”). The available options regarding the warning alerts sound are: “Low”, “Medium” or “High”. Also front sensors can be disabled unchecking the “Front Sensors Active in Drive” box in the setting list. Refer to “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA”
in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information.
NOTE:
If “Front Sensors Active in Drive” setting is not selected, but “Park Assist” is active, front sensors will be re-activated in the current manoeuvre when in R (Reverse) mode until the vehicle speed is below 11 km/h (7 mph) in Driver gear.
If the vehicle speed is below 11 km/h (7 mph), park sensors can be enabled or disabled for the current manoeuvre at any time by pressing the soft-key on the bottom bar of the Comfort Display only if “Park Assist” is enabled on the MIA screen.
The soft-key will be on in an amber colour when the entire Park Assist system is temporally disabled or not activated in the setting list. The soft-key will be off when the system is enabled again.
NOTE:
- If the “Park Assist” setting is deactivated, a pop up will appear on the Comfort Display if the user press the soft-key.
When the system is in fault, the soft-key will be greyed and the user can not change the system status using the soft-key.
When the transmission is into R (Reverse), D (Drive) or N (Neutral) mode and the system is temporally disabled or not active in the setting list, the MIA screen will display the “PARK ASSIST Off” image until the transmission remains in R (Reverse) or when the transmission is moved in D (Drive) or N (Neutral) mode, if “Rear View Camera Delay” is active in the setting list.
- When the transmission is in P (Park), N (Neutral) mode and in standstill condition or the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 11 km/h (7 mph), the system status is in “idle state” and a greyed car is visualized on the MIA screen.
Active Park Braking
When a rear obstacle is detected and the Active Park Braking setting is activated on the MIA screen (see “Functions
of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”) and the vehicle is moving backwards
(Reverse gear is engaged) at a very low speed, the system brakes automatically and the following layout will be shown.
NOTE:
- This function must be enabled together with the Park Assist in the setting list to work properly. If deactivated, the Active Park Breaking OFF is displayed on the car graphic on the MIA screen.
Sensors fault, Park Assist system fault, braking system fault, trailer connection or CORSA mode on turn this function unavailable. In these cases, a pop-up will appear on the cluster display to inform the driver.
The Active Park Braking event will not hold the vehicle indefinitely. After a short period of about 3 seconds,
the driver gets back the control of the vehicle. - The braking system event can be overridden by applying the throttle or disabling the Park Assist.
The Active Park Braking system will provide autonomous braking even when the driver may have partial brakes applied. - When Active Park Braking is activated, additional Active Park Braking events will be suppressed until the ultrasonic sensors no longer detect any objects behind the car. Once this happens, the Active Park Braking system can activate again as needed for newly detected objects.
WARNING!
Active Park Braking is not intended to avoid a collision on its own. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering.
The Active Park Braking system is not intended to be a convenience braking system.
The system may not work properly on uneven roads, wet or icy roads.
The Active Park Braking feature target is to avoid obstacle collision when speed is below 11 km/h (7 mph); however when speed is between 6- 11 km/h (4-7 mph) the avoidance of a collision with the obstacle is not guaranteed.
Side Distance Warning (with Surround View only)
When the ignition device is turned
ON and the Surround View screen
is displayed on the MIA display, an initialisation phase with hourglasses is needed to let the side distance warning work (see figure), if activated on the MIA screen together with the Park Assist (see “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA”
in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”). Move the car in any direction to activate them. The car must travel a distance of a vehicle length.
- The side distance warning adds four more arcs on the vehicle sides in the top view. The colour indicates the distance and the arc indicates the position of the detected obstacle. The orange colour of the outer arc indicates the maximum distance, while the red colour of the nearest arc indicates the minimum distance.
- Service the Park Assist System
In case of malfunction of the Park Assist system, the instrument cluster will actuate a single sound, once per ignition cycle. The instrument cluster will display a message when any of the rear or front sensor(s) are blocked by snow, mud, or ice and the vehicle is into R (Reverse), D (Drive) or N (Neutral) mode. - The instrument cluster will display
A message when any of the rear or front sensors are damaged and require service.
When the transmission is set to R (Reverse), D (Drive) or N (Neutral) mode and the system has detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster will display the message and the corresponding soft telltale. Under this condition Park Assist will not operate. See “Warning and Indicator Lights” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information. A related graphic will also be displayed on the MIA screen.
- If the instrument cluster displays a message prompting you to clean the sensors, make sure the outer surface and the underside of the rear bumper and/or front bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction and then cycle the ignition device. If the message continues to appear contact the Service Network.
- If a failure message is displayed on the instrument cluster, contact the Service Network.
Cleaning the Park Assist Sensors
When cleaning the sensors, take special care not to scratch or damage them; therefore, do not use dry, rough or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed with clean water, possibly adding car shampoo. Should you need to repaint the bumper or in case of paint touch-ups in the sensor area, please contact exclusively the Service Network.
Incorrect paint application could affect the parking sensors operation.
Park Assist System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of Park Assist.
CAUTION!
Park Assist is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognise every obstacle, including small obstacles. Parking curbs might only be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using Park Assist in order to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. When backing up, it is recommended that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when using Park Assist.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the Park Assist system. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up.
You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
Park Assist Volume
The volume of the acoustic signal emitted by the front and rear parking sensors is set to the medium level. Three different level of volume can be selected the submenu “Safety & Driving Assistant” of the “Settings” page on MIA. Low level is useful in certain conditions when the parking sensor acoustic signal keeps coming on although there is
no actual collision hazard. This may typically occur when driving in a queue or when the vehicle is overtaken by motorcycles or other vehicles on one or both sides in a queue of traffic.
When you set the volume, only the parking sensor acoustic signal will be affected. The radio or any other devices connected to the vehicle sound system will not be affected.
Refer to chapter “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls” for further information.
