Driving - 259
Parking distance control
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by
arrows
1
, are fitted in the bumpers to
detect obstacles near the vehicle.
The function alerts the driver via
audible signals and a display
representing the area where the
obstacle was detected.
Depending on the equipment, the
system detects obstacles behind, in
front and to the sides of the vehicle.
The Park Assist system is only
activated when the vehicle is driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h).
The function does not take into
account towing or carrying systems
that are not recognised by the system.
This function is an
additional 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
obstacles (such as a child,
animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone,
post, etc.) in the blind spot when
manoeuvring.
An impact to the
underside of the vehicle
while manoeuvring (e.g.
striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furniture) may
result in damage to the vehicle
(e.g. deformation 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
ultrasonic sensors indicated by the
arrows

is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, a badly fitted/attached number
plate), impacted, modified (including
paintwork) or obstructed by any
accessory fitted to the rear and,
depending on the vehicle, to the front
or sides of your vehicle.
