DRIVING
AUDIBLE AND/OR VISUAL
REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper. Detection zone
This detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle,
except obstacles located just below the
bumper. An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other simi-
lar object may be detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, but
may no longer be detected when
the vehicle comes close to it. The rear parking assistance sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance
and responsibility of the driver.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as re-
verse gear is engaged, accompanied
by an audible signal.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when
you exit reverse gear, the system be-
comes inactive.
The proximity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction screen, with blocks which become
increasingly closer to the vehicle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous and the "Danger"
symbol appears on the multifunction
screen.
