PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/3)
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
front or rear bumper depending on the
vehicle, measure the distance between
the vehicle and an obstacle whilst re-
versing.
Front parking distance
control
(depending on vehicle)
Operation
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
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 25 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
Most objects located less than approx-
imately 60 centimetres away from the
front of the vehicle are detected and a
beep is emitted.
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the front parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the electronic parking brake is
applied;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec-
onds and an obstacle is detected
(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
– when the vehicle is in neutral or
when the gear lever has been shifted
to N or P for automatic gearboxes;
