Parking distance control
Operating principle
On equipped vehicles, ultrasonic sen-
sors fitted in the vehicle’s rear and/or
front bumper measure the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle
when reversing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 25 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
Special features
Ensure that the ultrasonic sensors are
not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil-
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
Operation
When reversing
, when any object is
detected approximately 1.50 metres
from the vehicle, a beep sounds.
When moving forwards
at least 7 mph
(12 km/h), when any object is detected
less than approximately 1 metre from
the vehicle, a beep sounds.
If there are obstacles located close to
both the front and rear of the vehicle,
only the closest of the two will be ac-
knowledged and the corresponding
front or rear beep sound will be emit-
ted. If obstacles are detected both to
the front and to the rear of the vehicle at
the same time, and they are both less
than 30 centimetres away from the ve-
hicle, the corresponding front and rear
beeps will be emitted alternately.
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.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
