Driving
Parking sensors
This system detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, barrier...) located in front of or
behind the vehicle, however, it will not be able
to detect obstacles located immediately below
the bumper.
Operation
At the front and/or at the rear
This system is comprised of proximity sensors,
installed in the front and/or rear bumper.
Visual and audible assistance
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone
or any other similar object may be detected at
the start of the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves nearer
to it.
The parking sensors are switched on:
4
-
-
by engaging reverse gear,
at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal and
the display of the vehicle in the multifunction
screen.
The parking sensors system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The parking sensors are switched off:
In bad weather or in winter, 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.
When the speed of the vehicle is below
about 6 mph (10 km/h), some sources
of noise (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, ...) may trigger the audible parking
sensor signals.
-
-
when you exit reverse gear,
when the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h) in forward gear,
The proximity information is indicated by:
-
an audible signal which becomes more rapid
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle,
a diagram in the multifunction screen, with
blocks which move closer to the vehicle.
-
when the vehicle has been stationary for
more than three seconds in forward gear.
-
The obstacle is located in relation to the emission
of the audible signal by the speakers; front or rear
and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction screen version.
