PARKING AIDS

Parking distance control
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, indicated by ar-
rows
1
, are fitted in the bumpers to
detect obstacles near the vehicle.
The function alerts the driver via au-
dible signals and a display repre-
senting the area where the obstacle
was detected.
Depending on the equipment, the
system detects obstacles in front
and, behind and to the sides of the
vehicle.
The Park Assist system is only acti-
vated when the vehicle is driven 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 sys-
tem.
This function is an ad-
ditional driving aid.
Under no circum-
stances should it re-
place the driver's care or re-
sponsibility 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 un-
derside of the vehicle
while manoeuvring
(e.g. striking a post,
raised kerb or other street furni-
ture) 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.

Ensure that the areas around the ul-
trasonic sensors, indicated by the
arrows

, are not obscured (by dirt,
mud, snow, a badly fitted/attached
number plate, etc.), impacted, modi-
fied (including paintwork) or ob-
structed by any accessory fitted to
the rear and/or, depending on the
vehicle, to the front or sides of your
vehicle.
