Parking distance control
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors fitted in the vehi -
cle’s rear bumper measure the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle
whilst reversing.
When reversing, most objects located
less than approximately 1.5 metres
away from the rear of the vehicle are
detected and a beep is emitted.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 25 centi -
metres from the obstacle.
PARkING DISt ANCe CONtROL (1/2)
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the rear parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the electronic parking brake is
applied;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 4 mph (7 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds and an obstacle is detected
(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil -
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de -
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.
