Applies to vehicles : with 4 -cha nn el acoustic park ass ist
Acoustic park assist gives a warning about

sonic sensors . The sensors are in the rear
bumper . The volume and the pitch of the

The range at wh ich the sensors start to meas-
ure is
about:
To the side
Activation
2 feet (0.60 m)
5 feet (1.60 m)
The park ing assist is activated when
reverse
gear
is engaged. A br ief tone confirms that
the system is activated.
Backing up
Distance warning when backing up starts
when an obstacle is detected in the range of
the park assist system . As the distance de-
creases, the time interval between the aud ible
tones becomes shorter.
When the distance is less than 1 foot (0 .30
m), the tone becomes continuous . At this
point you shou ld stop backing up .
Please note that low objects already signalled
by a warning can disappear from the system's
detection range and will not continue to be
s ignalled .
Potential malfunctions
If a warning buzzer sounds for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on, there is a
system malfunction with the acoustic park as-
sist . If the malfunction pers ists until the igni-
tion is switched off, there will be no acoustic
warning at the next attempt to activate the
system. Have the prob lem corrected .
There is no confirmation tone when reverse
gear is engaged if the re is a system malfunc-
tion.
For the parking assist to operate, the sensors
must be kept clean and free of ice .
_&. WARNING
- Sensors have blind spots in wh ich objects
cannot be detected. Pay spec ial attention .,.
