PARKING AIDS
3
Parking distance control
Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by ar-
rows
1
, are fitted in the bumpers to de-
tect obstacles near the vehicle.
The function alerts the driver via audi-
ble signals and, depending on the ve-
hicle, a display representing the area
where the obstacle was detected.
Depending on the equipment, the sys-
tem detects obstacles behind and in
front of the vehicle.
The parking distance control system is
only activated when the vehicle is dri-
ven at a speed below approximately 6
mph (10 km/h).
The function does not take into ac-
count towing or carrying systems that
are not recognised by the system.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
Under no circumstances
should it replace the
driver's care or responsibility
whilst reversing.
The driver should always be
ready for sudden incidents while
driving: always ensure that there
are no small, narrow moving ob-
stacles (such as a child, animal,
pushchair, bicycle, stone, post,
etc.) in the blind spot when ma-
noeuvring.
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. de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
approved Dealer.
Location of the ultrasonic sensors
1
Ensure that the area around the ultra-
sonic sensors indicated by the arrows
1
is not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow,
a badly fitted/attached number plate),
impacted, modified (including paint-
work) or obstructed by any accessory
fitted to the rear and/or, depending on
the vehicle, to the front of your vehicle.
