Rearparkingsensors
Systemconsistingoffourproximitysensors,
locatedintherearbumper.
Thisdetectsanyobstacle(person,vehicle,
tree,gate,etc.)behindthevehicle,except
obstacleslocatedjustbelowthebumper.
Anobject,suchasastake,aroadworks
coneoranyothersimilarobjectmay
bedetectedatthebeginningofthe
manoeuvre,butmaynolongerbedetected
whenthevehiclecomesclosetoit.
Theparkingsensorsystemcannotin
anycircumstancesbeasubstitutefor
vigilanceonthepartofthedriver.
Thesystemisactivatedassoonasreverse
gearisengaged,accompaniedbyanaudible
signal.Theproximityinformationisgivenby:
- anaudiblesignal,whichbecomesmore
rapidasthevehicleapproachesthe
obstacle.
- agraphic(accordingtoversion)inthe
multifunctionscreen,withblockswhich
becomeincreasinglyclosertothevehicle.
Activation
Whenthedistancebetweentherearofthevehicle
andtheobstacleislessthanthirtycentimetres,the
audiblesignalbecomescontinuousandthe"Danger"
symbolappearsinthemultifunctionscreen.
Oncompletionofthemanoeuvre,whenyouexit
reversegear,thesystembecomesinactive.
