Parking assistance
The audible and/or visual rear parking
assistance consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which
enters the fi eld: person, vehicle, tree,
fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre will no
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post. Engage reverse gear
Display on the screen
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.
An audible signal confi rms the activation
of the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by
an audible signal which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately thirty centimetres,
the audible signal becomes
continuous.
