- When you are moving forward, provided this is at a speed less than 10 km/h (approx. 6 mph), either in neutral or in gear, the outline on your vehicle is displayed on the screen as soon as an obstacle is dete cted in front of the vehicle. Obstacles located in front of the vehicle will be detected.
- In forward gear or in reverse gear, as the vehicle approaches the ob-stacle, the sound signal becomes more and more rapid and the ba rs are seen to move ever nearer to the vehicle.
- Whether in forward gear or in reverse gear, when theobstacle is close, the sound signal becomes continuous and the WARNING panel appears on the multifunction display.
