Rear Parking Sensors; Audible Assistance; Visual Assistance - PEUGEOT 301 Handbook

Rear parking sensors

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
entering the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Due to blind areas, obstacles of certain types
(posts, worksite markers, etc.) which were
detected initially won't be any longer by the end
of the operation.
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging the
reverse gear. This is accompanied by an
audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.

Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
