VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the front and/or
rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, barrier ...) located behind the
vehicle, however, it will not be able to
detect obstacles located immediately
below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the start
of the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking assistance is
switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three
seconds in forward gear.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The parking assistance is
switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction screen, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than
a p p r o x i m a t e l y t w e n t y - fi v e c e n t i m e -
tres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger"
symbol appears, depending on the
multifunction screen version.
