REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE This system consists of proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,and a special speaker fitted in thefascia. This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. However, it may not detectobstacles located just below the
bumper. An object, such as a stake, a road- works cone or any other similarobject may be detected at the begin-ning of the manoeuvre, but may nolonger be detected when the vehicleis close to it. Note:
this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. Activation The system is activated as soon as reverse gear is engaged; an audiblebleep shows that it is active. The proximity information is given by an audible signal, which becomesmore rapid as the vehicle approachesthe obstacle. When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is lessthan approximately twenty centime-tres, the audible signal becomes con-tinuous.Deactivation
Change to neutral, the system is again inactive.
Detection zone
If there is an operating fault, the audible signalwill be a short bleep fol-lowed by a long bleepwhen changing to reverse
gear.
