REAR PARKING SENSORS
System comprising four proximity sensors,
located in the rear bumper.
This detects obstacles (person, vehi-
cle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle.
However, it cannot detect obstacles lo-
cated just below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other simi-
lar object may be detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, but
may no longer be detected when
the vehicle comes close to it.

Detection zone
Activation
The system is activated as soon as re-
verse gear is engaged, accompanied
by an audible signal. The proximity in-
formation is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,
- a graphic in the multifunction screen,
with blocks which become increas-
ingly closer to the vehicle (depending
on version).
When the distance between the rear of the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "Danger" symbol ap-
pears in the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when
you exit reverse gear, the system be-
comes inactive.
The parking sensors system
cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.
