Parking assist

The parking assist system makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
obstacles to the front and rear, and
giving acoustic signals. It is the driver,
however, who bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
The system consists of four ultrasonic
parking sensors in both the front and
rear bumpers.
Control indicator r 3 84.
Activation
With the ignition on, the system must
be activated manually.
Press button r on the instrument
panel. The LED in the button will
illuminate and will activate when
a forward gear or reverse gear is
engaged and the electrical parking
brake is released.
An obstacle is indicated by an
acoustic signal. The interval between
the sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
Driving and operating
When the distance is less than
30 cm, the signal is continuous. The
acoustic signal may differ depending
on the type of object detected.
Deactivation
To deactivate, press the button again
and the LED in the button will
extinguish. The control indicator r
in the instrument cluster will illuminate
until the vehicle speed exceeds
25 km/h.
The system is deactivated
automatically when the vehicle speed
is above 8 km/h or when selector
lever is in neutral (automatic
transmission in N or P).
If the b button is pressed again, the
LED in the button will extinguish and
the system will be reactivated as soon
as a forward gear or reverse gear is
engaged and the electrical parking
brake is released.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
control indicator r illuminates in the
instrument cluster.
