VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE 
 System consisting of four proximity sen- 
sors,  installed  in  the  front  and/or  rear 
bumper.  
 It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,  
tree, barrier...) located behind  the vehi-
cle, however, it will not be able to detect 
obstacles  located  immediately  below 
the bumper.  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 sig- 
nal  and/or  displaying  of  the  vehicle  on 
the multifunction screen. 
 An  object,  such  as  a  stake,  a 
roadworks  cone  or  any  other 
similar object may be detected 
at the start of the manoeuvre but may 
no longer be detected when the vehi-
cle moves nearer to it.   The proximity information is indicated by:  
   -   an  audible  signal  which  becomes 
more rapid as the vehicle approach- 
es 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  approxi-
mately  thirty  centimetres,  the  audible 
signal  becomes  continuous  and/or  the 
"Danger"  symbol  appears,  depending 
on the multifunction screen version.
