Parking space sensor
System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles. It
measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:
-
t
he possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances necessary for
your manoeuvring,
-

t
he level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle. The parking space sensor function warning
lamp can have three different states:
-

o
ff: the function is not selected,
-

o
n fixed: the function is selected but the
conditions for measuring are not yet met
(direction indicator not operating, speed too
high) or the measurement is terminated.

one minute.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and
the parking space is too large, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
The function remains available after each
measurement and thus can measure more than
one space during your search.
