General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids.
When engaging reverse gear with the engine
running, or when reversing at up to 6 mph

motorcycle) in the rear blind spots of the vehicle,
using the radars installed in the bumper.
The system detects obstacles moving at more
than 2 mph (3 km/h) at a maximum distance of
40 m.
The system operates in addition to the Parking
