Parking Distance Control - Renault 2013 Clio Handbook

PARkING DISTANCE CONTROL

Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi-
cle's rear bumper, measure the dis-
tance between the vehicle and an ob-
stacle when reversing.
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 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when changing to re-
verse gear.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic
sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault there will be a 5-second, continu-
ous warning beep when reverse gear is
selected. Consult an approved dealer.
(1/2)
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain noises (motorcy-
cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may
trigger the beeping sound.
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 pay atten-
tion to sudden incidents during driv-
ing: always ensure that there are no
moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small,
narrow objects such as stones or
posts in your path when manoeu-
vring.
