VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier...) located in front
of or behind the vehicle, however,
it will not be able to detect obsta-
cles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking assistance is
switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehicle
on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle appro-
aches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately twenty-fi ve centime-
tres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger"
symbol appears, depending on the
multifunction screen version.
The parking assistance is switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear. Deactivation
