ACOUSTIC SIGNAL

The information concerning the
presence and distance of an obstacle
from the car is transmitted to the driver
by means of acoustic signals from
buzzers installed in the passenger
compartment:
❒ in the versions with rear sensors, a
buzzer in the front dashboard area
A0K0059
warns of the presence of obstacles at
rear. The volume of the acoustic
signal can be adjusted through the
option "Warning volume" of the
Setup menu (see "Menu items"
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" section).
❒ in the versions with front and rear
sensors, a front buzzer warns of
the presence of obstacles at the front
A0K0814
and a buzzer located at the rear
warns of the presence of obstacles at
the rear. This permits the driver to
perceive the direction (front/rear) of
the obstacles.
Depending on the position of the
obstacle (in front or at the rear) the
sound is emitted by the corresponding
buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle
closest to the car is signalled.
When reverse gear is engaged an
acoustic signal is automatically
activated if there is an obstacle within
the range of operation.
The acoustic signal:
❒ increases as distance between the
car and the obstacle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the
distance between the car and the
obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance
increases;
❒ is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation occurs for the side
sensors, the signal will stop after
about 3 seconds to avoid, for
example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres alongside walls.
