Driving -> PARKING PROXIMITY SENSOR for Your Renault Scenic 4 Door Second Generation (2003-2009)

PARKING PROXIMITY SENSOR  
Operating principle  
Proximity sensors located in the  
rear bumper “measure” the distance  
between the vehicle and an obstacle  
when reversing.  
This measurement is indicated by  
beeps which become more frequent  
the closer you are to the vehicle,  
until they become one continuous  
beep when the obstacle is  
approximately 25 centimetres from  
the vehicle.  
This function is an  
additional aid which  
indicates the distance  
between the vehicle and an  
obstacle when reversing by means  
of audible signals.  
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic  
sensors are not blocked (dirt, mud,  
snow, etc.).  
Under no circumstances should

responsibility on the part of the  
driver when reversing.  
The driver should always pay  
attention to sudden events which  
may occur when driving: always  
ensure that there are no moving  
obstacles, such as a child, animal,  
pram or bicycle, etc., or small,  
narrow objects such as stones or  
bollards, in your path when  
manoeuvring.
