Chap. Ix Parking Maneuvers - Chausson V594S User Manual

CHAP. IX Parking maneuvers
When you have found a place to park, you can position your
vehicle using the rearview mirrors as a guide, but we suggest
you call on someone to help you when backing up.
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
n
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.
ImPortAnt rEmArKS:
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.
Signalling
n
front
In some circumstances the system may fail to detect or
incorrectly signal obstacles:
• an obstacle with a complex shape, with hollows or
projections;
• an obstacle that is very smooth and reflective (glass and
mirrors), especially if it is located almost parallel to the
motor caravan body.
