Parking Distance Control - Renault Arcana User Manual

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL

Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by
arrows 1, are fitted in the bumpers to
measure the distance between the ve-
hicle and an obstacle.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent
the closer you come to the obstacle,
until they become a continuous beep
when the vehicle is approximately 20 to
30 centimetres from the obstacle.
Depending on the configuration of the
vehicle, the system detects obstacles
to the front, the rear and the sides of
the vehicle.
The parking distance control system
is only activated when the vehicle is
driven at a speed below approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
The function does not take into account
towing or carrying systems that are not
recognised by the system.

Location of the ultrasonic
sensors 1
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors indi-
cated by arrows 1 are not obscured (by
dirt, mud, snow, a badly fitted/attached
number plate), impacted, modified (in-
cluding paintwork) or obstructed by any
accessory fitted to the rear and/ or, de-
pending on the vehicle, to the front or
sides of your vehicle.
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver's care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready
for sudden incidents while driv-
ing: always ensure that there are
no small, narrow moving obstacles
(such as a child, animal, pushchair,
bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind
spot when manoeuvring.
