ARKING SENSORS
System consisting of proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, barrier...) located in front of
or behind the vehicle, however, it will
not be able to detect obstacles locat-
ed immediately below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it.
The parking sensors are switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which be-
comes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction
display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and/or the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction screen
version.
The parking sensors are switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than
6 mph (10 km/h) in forward
gear,
- when the vehicle has been sta-
tionary for more than three sec-
onds in forward gear.
Deactivation

comes on, the system is fully de-
activated.
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
tted (vehicle tted with a towbar
