REAR PARKING SENSORS

PARKING SENSORS

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,

gate, etc.) which comes within the ﬁeld of detection of sensors located

in the bumper.

The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is

accompanied by an audible signal.

The system is switched off when you come out of reverse gear.

This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the

vigilance of the driver.

Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the

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.

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.

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).

The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the

obstacle is in front or behind.

When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed in

the screen.

in the button comes on.

Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in

Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.)

may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
