30 centimetres from the obstacle.

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 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.

Most objects located less near the

detected.

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (3/7)

If a side obstacle is detected:

– 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.

Note: in the event of a change in tra-

jectory during a manoeuvre, the risk of

nalled late.

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.

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.

2.136

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.).
