Safety Operation

Parking aid*

General information
Various aid systems are in place to help in parking and manoeuvring de-
pending on the vehicle's equipment:
The rear parking aid is an audible aid that warns against obstacles behind
the vehicle ⇒ p age 151.
The front parking aid is an audible aid that warns against obstacles both
behind and in front of the vehicle ⇒ p age 153.
Apart from the acoustic signals, when the vehicle is equipped with a porta-
ble navigator (PND), this visually displays information regarding front and/
or rear areas.
WARNING
● The sensors have blind spots in which obstacles may not be detected.
● Always look out for small children and animals because the system
will not always detect them. Pay attention when reversing to avoid acci-
dents.
● The parking aid is not a replacement for driver awareness. The driver
must take full responsibility for parking and other manoeuvres.
