PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (3/6)
Depending on the vehicle, the system
detects obstacles in front and behind
the vehicle.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by the 1 arrows are not obscured
(by dirt, mud, snow, a badly fitted/at-
tached number plate), impacted, modi-
fied (including paintwork) or obstructed
by any accessory fitted to the front or
rear of your vehicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
4
The parking distance control system
does not take into account towing and
load carrying systems etc.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
System B
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by
arrows 4, are fitted in the bumpers to
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always
ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a child, animal,
pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.
