Parking aid

General notes
The rear parking aid indicates audibly the
distance between your vehicle and an object.
If you engage reverse gear when the engine is
running, the parking aid is activated auto-
matically.
The parking aid monitors the rear area of
your vehicle using three sensors : in the
rear bumper. The sensors must be free of dirt,
ice and slush. Otherwise, they may not func-
tion correctly. Clean the sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage them.
When reverse gear is engaged the system
measures the distance between your vehicle
and an object. If the proximity to the object
behind the vehicle is less than 1.20 m, a beep-
ing sound is issued. When the object is a max-
imum of 30 cm away, a continuous tone is
issued.
Important safety notes
The parking aid is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the immedi-
ate surroundings. The responsibility for safe
manoeuvring and parking remains with you.
Make sure that there are no persons, animals
or objects in range while manoeuvring and
parking.
!
When parking, pay particular attention to
objects above or below the sensors, such as
flower pots or trailer drawbars. The park-
ing aid does not detect such objects when
they are in the immediate vicinity of the
vehicle. You could damage the vehicle or
the objects.
The sensors may not detect snow and other
objects that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Ultrasonic sources such as an automatic car
wash, the compressed-air brakes of a truck
or a pneumatic drill could cause the park-
ing aid to malfunction.
The parking aid may not function correctly
on uneven terrain.
The parking aid does not take into account
obstacles located:
below the detection range, e.g. persons,
R
animals or objects
above the detection range, e.g. overhang-
R
ing loads, tail sections or loading ramps of
goods vehicles
