Full Park Assist
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system provides active parking assistance
for vehicles fitted with the EAT8 automatic
gearbox: it detects a free "parallel" or "bay"
parking space and then operates the vehicle,
parking it with no need for driver intervention. It
also allows you to automatically exit a
"parallel"
parking space.
The system controls the steering, direction,
acceleration and braking. The system measures
the available parking spaces and calculates
the distances to obstacles using 12 ultrasonic
sensors built into the front and rear bumpers of
the vehicle.
To help the driver monitor the successful
completion of the manoeuvre, the system
automatically displays the Visiopark 1 or
Visiopark 2 and activates the parking sensors.
