Using the parking aid
Useful information
!
Pay attention to people and obstacles
when manoeuvring or parking the car. The
driver is responsible in these situations.
The electronic parking aid gives an acoustic
indication of the distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle behind it.
The parking aid uses three sensors : in the
rear bumper to monitor the area around the
vehicle.
The parking aid measures the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle. If the
proximity to the object behind the vehicle is
less than 1.20 m, a short signal is issued. If
the object is less than 30 cm away, a contin-
uous warning tone is issued.
The parking aid might not function correctly
under the following circumstances:
the vehicle is on uneven terrain
R
if there are obstacles below or above the
R
sensor detection range
the vehicle is on snow or near objects that
R
absorb ultrasonic waves
the vehicle is near strong ultrasonic sour-
R
ces, such as pneumatic hammers
If you engage reverse gear while the engine
is running, the parking aid is activated.
Activating and deactivating parking
