shifting into R, the park assist button
in the overhead console must be
pressed.
High-toned beeps from the front
speakers are emitted when objects
are detected near the front bumper.
Low-toned beeps from the rear
speakers are emitted when objects
are detected near the rear bumper.
The intervals between the beeps
become shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm the
beeping is a continuous tone for
5 seconds.
Object detection on front and
rear
In general, if objects are detected at
the same time near both the front and
rear bumpers while backing up, the
beeps only sound to indicate that
objects are close to the rear bumper.
However, if an object appears within
a distance of 0.3 m of the front
bumper while the vehicle is backing
up and at the same time there is
another object within a distance
bigger than 0.3 m from the rear
bumper, the beeps will only indicate
the object that is closer to the front
bumper.
Activation and deactivation
Press r on the overhead console to
activate the system. The LED lights
up.
Press r again to deactivate the
system. The LED is turned off.
After the system has been
deactivated, a message in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) is displayed
briefly.
Driving and operating
Ultrasonic parking assist is
reactivated each time the vehicle is
restarted.
Fault
When the system does not work
properly, an error message is
displayed in the DIC.
The following conditions could affect
the system's performance:
■ The driver has disabled the system.
■ The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle's bumpers
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and
slush.
■ The park assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice.
■ An object was hanging out of the
tailgate during the last drive cycle.
Once the object has been removed,
ultrasonic parking assist will return
to normal operation.
■ An object or cover is attached to the
front of the vehicle.
