DRIVING
The parking sensors system cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of proximity sensors,
installed in the front and/or rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier...) located in front of
or 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 ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking sensors are 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 be-
comes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction
display, 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 ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres,
the audible signal becomes con-
tinuous and/or the "Danger" symbol
appears, depending on the multi-
function screen version.
The parking sensors are 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 station-
ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.
