Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a  special   code.   When   the   ignition   is   switched  
o

n,   this   code   must   be   recognised   in   order   for  
s

tarting   to   be   possible.
This
  electronic   engine   immobiliser   locks   the  
e

ngine   management   system   a   few   minutes  
a

fter   the   ignition   is   switched   off   and   prevents  
s

tarting   of   the   engine   by   anyone   who   does   not  
h

ave   the   key.In the event of a fault, you are
informed
  by   illumination   of   this  
w

Rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors, located   in   the   rear   bumper.
This
  detects   any   obstacle   (person,   vehicle,  
t

ree,   gate,   etc.)   behind   the   vehicle,   except  
o

bstacles   located   just   below   the   bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone   or   any   other   similar   object   may b

e   detected   at   the   beginning   of   the
 m

anoeuvre,   but   may   no   longer   be   detected
 w

hen   the   vehicle   comes   close   to   it.
The parking sensor system cannot in any   circumstances   be   a   substitute   for  
v

igilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The
 
system   is   activated   as   soon   as   reverse  
g

ear
 
is   engaged,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
s

ignal.   The   proximity   information   is   given   by:
-
 
a

n   audible   signal,   which   becomes   more  
r

apid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
-
 
a

 
graphic   (according   to   version)   in   the  
m

ultifunction   screen,   with   blocks   which  
b

ecome   increasingly   closer   to   the   vehicle.
Activation
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and
  the   obstacle   is   less   than   thirty   centimetres,   the a

udible   signal   becomes   continuous   and   the   "Danger"
 s

ymbol   appears   in   the   multifunction   screen.
On
  completion   of   the   manoeuvre,   when   you   exit
 r

everse   gear,   the   system   becomes   inactive.
