Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors, installed in the
rear bumper (depending on the vehi-
cle), measure the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst revers-
ing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 30 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of the
vehicle are detected, a beep sounds
and, depending on the vehicle, the dis-
play 1 shows the area around the ve-
hicle.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
1
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between t\
he
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: al\
ways
ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a chil\
d, animal,
pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.
Note: make sure that the ultrasonic
sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g. strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g. defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
The parking distance control system
does not take into account towing and
load carrying systems etc.
