Get Driving -> Parking distance control Guide for Renault Captur SUV Second Generation (2019-2026)

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/7)

Depending on the vehicle, the system

detects obstacles to the front, the rear

and the sides of the vehicle.

Location of the ultrasonic

sensors 1

Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-

cated by the arrows 1 are not obscured

(by dirt, mud, snow, a badly fitted/at-

tached number plate), impacted, mod-

ified (including paintwork) or obstructed

by any accessory fitted to the rear and/

or, depending on the vehicle, to the

front or sides 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).

1

The function does not take into account

towing or carrying systems that are not

recognised by the system.

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.

Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by

arrows 1, are fitted in the bumpers to

measure the distance between the ve-

hicle and an obstacle.

This function is an additional driving aid.

Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsi-

bility 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.

vehicle surroundings (areas A and B)

is not displayed in “Bird’s eye view” or

“Side view” mode.

Operation

Most objects located less near the

front, rear and sides of the vehicle are

detected.

Depending on the distance of the ob-

stacle, the frequency of the beep will

be higher while approaching it, and

will become a continuous beep around

20 cm away for obstacles to the sides,

and around 30 cm for obstacles to the

front or rear. The green, orange (or

yellow depending on the vehicle) and

red zones will be shown on the C dis-

play.

Note: the display 2 shows the vehicle

surroundings and emits beeps.

It is necessary to travel a few metres

before the side detection is activated.

side of the vehicle while

ing a post, raised kerb or

– the beeps become faster and then

sound continuously as the obstacle

gets nearer. Green, orange and red

zones will be displayed on the dis-

play D;

– if there is no risk of collision, no beep

will sound when approaching the ob-

stacle. Green, orange and red zones

will be displayed interspersed on the

display D.

Detection of obstacles to the side

Activation/deactivation

Depending on the direction of the

wheels, the system determines the tra-

jectory of the vehicle and notifies the

driver of any risk or otherwise of a col-

lision with an obstacle 3 to the side of

the vehicle.

Vehicles fitted with a multimedia

screen.

To activate or deactivate the various

zones covered by the ultrasonic detec-

tors, please refer to the multimedia in-

structions.

Select “ON” or “OFF”.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e.g. striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture)

may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g. deformation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.

Note: if you deactivate the sound, you

will no longer be notified with beeps

when approaching an obstacle.

When the vehicle is travelling at a

speed below approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h), some noises (motorcy-

cle, lorry, pneumatic drill etc.) may

trigger the beeping sound of the

parking distance control.

approximately 5 seconds and an ob-

stacle is detected (such as when in a

traffic jam, etc.);

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (6/7)

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the alignment of the sensors may be altered and their operation may consequently be affected.

Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the sensors are located (repairs, replacements, etc.) must be carried out by a qualified profes-

sional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

System disturbance

Some conditions can disrupt or damage the operation of the system, for example:

– poor weather conditions (rain, snow, hail, black ice, etc.);

– in the event of exposure to strong electromagnetic waves (under high-voltage lines, etc.);

– some types of noise (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill etc.);

– fitting an unsuitable towing ball or hook.

Risk of false alarms or absence of warnings

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

2.138

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (7/7)

Limitation of the system operation

– The area around the sensors must be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the

system.

– Small objects moving close to the vehicle (motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) may not be recognised by the system.

– The system may not detect objects that are too close to the vehicle.

– The system may not provide a warning when the other vehicles or objects are travelling at a significantly different speed.

– During a change in trajectory, during a manoeuvre, the system may report obstacles with a delay.

– When the vehicle is towing a trailer, the rear Park Assist system must be deactivated

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

– the area around the sensors has been damaged (rear bumper);

– the vehicle is equipped with a towing device that is not recognised by the system (ball, hook, adapter, etc.).
