VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker.
T h i s d e t e c t s a n y o b s t a c l e ( p e r s o n ,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot
detect obstacles located just below
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre, but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
comes close to it. Detection zone
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged, accompa-
nied by an audible signal. The proxi-
mity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which beco-
mes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle.
- a graphic on the multifunction display, with blocks which be-
come increasingly close 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 display.
On completion of the manoeuvre,
when you exit reverse gear, the sys-
tem becomes inactive.
The rear parking assistance sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
