Automatic deactivation of the
parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h);
– depending on the model, when the
vehicle is stationary for more than
approximately 5 seconds and an ob-
stacle is detected (such as when in a
traffic jam, etc.);
– when the vehicle is in neutral for
manual gearboxes, or in position N
or P for automatic gearboxes.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (5/5)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, a beep sounds for approximately
3 seconds each time reverse gear is se-
lected and is accompanied by the mes-
sage “Check parking sensor” shown on
the instrument panel. Please consult an
authorised dealer.
The function can be disrupted under
certain conditions, including:
– if the sensor is obscured by dirt,
mud, snow, etc, wipe it clean with
a soft damp cloth or cotton wool;
– if the sensor is frozen;
– when driving on uneven or grav-
elled surfaces or slope or in bush;
– very poor weather conditions
(heavy rain, snow, etc.);
The system can not detect includ-
ing:
– small or narrow objects such as
rope, etc;
– objects that can absorb ultrasonic
like a sponge, snow, etc.
The system can be beeped or dis-
rupted by motorbikes, bicycles,
transmitters, etc.
