PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/7)
Depending on the vehicle, the system
detects obstacles to the front, the rear
and the sides of the vehicle.
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 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
Location of the ultrasonic
sensors 1
Under no circumstances
should it replace the driv-
er’s care or responsibility whilst re-
versing.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by
arrows 1, are fitted in the bumpers to
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
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, etc.), impacted,
modified (including paintwork) or ob-
structed by any accessory fitted to the
rear and/or, depending on the vehicle,
to the front or sides of your vehicle.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: 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.
