VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, installed in the 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 sensors are switched on
by engaging reverse gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal.
*
According to version. 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 lon-
ger be detected when the vehicle
moves nearer to it.
When the distance between the rear of the vehi-
cle and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction screen version.
The parking sensor system cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver. The parking sensors are switched off
by moving the gear lever to neutral.
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.
