REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE This system consists of proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,and a special speaker fitted in thefascia. This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, pavement etc.)behind the vehicle. Note:
this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer.
In wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with frost or
snow.
Activation The system is activated as soon as reverse gear is engaged; an audiblebleep shows that it is active. The proximity information is given by an audible signal, which becomesmore rapid as the vehicle approachesthe obstacle. When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is lessthan approximately twenty centi-metres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.Deactivation ☞
Change to neutral, the system is again inactive.
Detection zone
If there is an operating fault, the audible signalwill be a short bleep follo-wed by a long bleep when
changing to reverse gear.

The detection system uses an over- taking sensor and is intended for usewhen driving during the day and atnight. It operates when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 30 km/h. The detection system consists of:
-a
mini-camera Aon the mirror,
-a warning light Band a buzzer on
the driver's side on the door pillar at mirror level. When a vehicle is indicated in thefield of detection of the mini-cameraA
:
- the red warning light Bcomes on,
- a buzzer sounds if the direction indicator is operated by the driver.
The detection system may come into operationwhen turning or in the
third lane on a motorway.
Note: at a speed below 80 km/h,
analysis of the field of detection is directly proportional to the vehicle
speed. Above 80 km/h, analysis ofthe field of detection is at its maxi-mum level. When driving at night, switching on the side lights automatically optimisesthe position of the mini-camera.
