VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of proximity sen-
sors:
- six in the front bumper,
and/or
- four in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, gate, etc.) in front of or be-
hind the vehicle. However, it cannot
detect obstacles located directly under
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, cone or any
other similar object may be detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it. The proximity of the obstacle is indi-
cated by:
- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction dis- play, with blocks which become in-
creasingly close to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; that is, front or rear and
right or left.
When the distance between the vehi-
cle and the obstacle is less than ap-
proximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and/or the "Danger" symbol appears
on the multifunction display.
The system becomes inactive again:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h),
- at the end of the manoeuvre, when stationary, after a few seconds
(front parking assistance only).
Detection zone
To guarantee optimum opera-
tion, in bad weather or in win-
ter, ensure that the sensors
are not covered with mud,
frost or snow. The system is deactivated if
the vehicle is stationary for
more than 3 seconds.
Detection
The system is activated when:
- reverse gear is engaged,
-
the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.
It is accompanied by an audible signal
and/or displaying of the vehicle on the
multifunction display.
