CHAP. X Parking manoeuvres
When you find a place to park, you will settle for operating
using your mirrors, but do not hesitate to get help for
reversing.
Some of our models are fitting with a parking detector, an
ideal aid for demanding motor caravanners.
The parking detector informs the driver of the distance of
an obstacle by means of an audible signal, which makes
parking safer. The system is automatically activated as
soon as reverse gear is engaged.
Operation
Q
The parking detector emits ultrasonic sound waves that
are reflected by an obstacle and generates an audible
signal. The exact detection of the distance of an obstacle
renders parking manoeuvres easier, even in restricted
spaces. The frequency of the ultrasonic sound waves
has been chosen to avoid interference and discomfort to
people and pet animals.
    
This system is exclusively an aid to the driver and must never be considered to be infallible. You must always
take care and use your judgement.
Carry out parking manoeuvres at low speed in order to ensure your own safety and that of others.
Stop your vehicle when audible signalling starts, to take into account the effects of inertia.
Regularly check that the detectors operate correctly and clean them carefully.
In the event of rain, snow, or ice, the sensitivity of the detectors can be temporarily reduced by up to 20%. Take even
more care in these conditions.
