This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance of the driver.Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected
initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if
they
are located in blind spots in the sensors' field of detection.

Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, th\
e
frequency
of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on\

which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes
less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
gate,

etc.)

which

FRONT PARKING
SENSORS
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are
triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more \
than three seconds in forward gear, if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
This supplements the audible signal by displaying bars in the
multifunction screen which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed in
the

screen. The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp
in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in
the button goes off. The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the\

obstacle is in front or behind.
