-
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Accumulated snow or dead leaves on the
road surface can interfere with the vehicle's
sensors.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
distort the settings of the sensors, which is
not always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be incorrect.
The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is
very loaded can affect the distance
measurements.

regardless of the vehicle's path, by displaying
on the screen those whose location represents
the distance between the obstacle and the
vehicle (white: more distant obstacles, orange:
close obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.

The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is attached or a
bicycle carrier is fitted on a towbar (vehicle
fitted with a towbar installed in line with
the manufacturer's recommendations).

Front parking sensors
The sensors may be affected by poor
weather conditions (heavy rain, thick fog,
snowfall, etc.).
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).
The parking sensors are deactivated while
the Park Assist system is measuring a
space.
For more information on Park Assist,
refer to the corresponding section.
Recommendations on care
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
Operating limits
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle – in the vehicle trajectory, in front
or behind.
-
Certain obstacles located in the sensors'
blind spots may not be detected or no
longer be detected during the manoeuvre.
Sounds such as those emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills, etc.) may interfere with the
vehicle's sensors.
-
Activation/Deactivation
The system is activated or deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
