WARNING:
.The sonar (parking sensor) system is a
convenience but it is not a substitute for
proper parking. Always look around and
check that it is safe to do so before parking.
Always move slowly.
. Read and understand the limitations of the
sonar (parking sensor) system as contained
in this section. Inclement weather may affect
the function of the sonar (parking sensor)
system; this may include reduced perfor-
mance or a false activation.
. This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary objects to
help avoid damaging the vehicle. The system
will not detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects close
to the bumper or on the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or
false alarms.
CAUTION:
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the tone clearly.
When the ignition switch is in the \fON” \bosition, the
sonar (\barking sensor) system is o\berational.
The sonar (\barking sensor) system sounds a tone to
warn the driver of obstacles near the bum\ber. The
\barking sensor indicator will also a\b\bear in the vehicle
information dis\blay. (See \fParking Sensor Indicator”
(P.5-32) .) The system detects rear obstacles when the
selector/shift lever is in the \fR” (Reverse) \bosition. The
system may not detect objects at s\beeds above 10
km/h (6 MPH) and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The sonar (\barking sensor) system detects obstacles
u\b to 1 m (3.3 ft) from the bum\ber with a decreased
coverage area at the outer corners of the bum\ber,
(refer to the illustration for a\b\broximate zone coverage
areas) . As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of
the tone increases. When the obstacle is less than 30cm (11.8 in) away, the tone will sound continuously.
Kee\b the sonar sensors (located on the bum\ber fascia)
free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt (do
not clean the sensors with shar\b objects) . If the
sensors are covered, it will affect the accuracy of the
sonar (\barking sensor) system.
If the sonar (parking sensor) system malfunc-
tions, the beep sounds for 3 seconds when the
selector/shift lever is moved to the
\fR”(Reverse)
position. Have the system checked by a RE-
NAULT dealer.
