A method for detecting a reciprocal position between a cylinder (20) and a piston (30) of a piston-cylinder unit (10) of a vehicle (V), where the method comprises steps of: - measuring, by means of an optical sensor (40), a value of a indicative parameter of a colour of a reference mark (33) positioned on a portion of the piston (30); - comparing the measured value with at least a predetermined threshold value thereof different to a minimum detected threshold of the indicative parameter by the optical sensor (40); and - emitting an alarm signal perceptible by a driver of a vehicle (V) if the measured value is comprised between the threshold value and the minimum value.
