Ultrasonic parking sensors 3
Park pilot makes reverse parking easier by
measuring the distance between the back
of the vehicle and obstacles to the rear. It is
the driver, however, who maintains full
responsibility for parking.
The system records the distance using four
sensors in the rear bumper.

To activate
The park pilot system activates
automatically when the ignition is switched
on and reverse gear is engaged.
Its operational readiness is indicated by
illumination of the LED in the button r 3.
If the vehicle approaches an obstacle, a
series of acoustic signals sound. The
interval between the signals becomes
shorter as the vehicle gets closer to the
obstacle. When the distance is less
than 30 cm, the signal is continuous.
9 Warning
Under certain circumstances, various
reflective surfaces on objects or clothing
as well as external noise sources may
cause the system to fail to detect obsta-
cles.
