PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL
3
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the
vehicle’s rear 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 approxi-
mately 35 centimetres from the ob-
stacle.
There is a beep when reverse gear is
engaged. If the beep sounds for a
long time (3 seconds), this signals an
operating fault.
NB: ensure that the ultrasonic sen-
sors are not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
Operation
When reverse gear is selected, most
objects which are less than approxi-
mately 1.20 metres from the rear of
the vehicle are detected, a beep
sounds,.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat-
ing fault, there will be a three-sec-
ond continuous beep as a warning.
Please consult an authorised dealer.
This function is an ad-
ditional aid that indi-
cates the distance be-
tween the vehicle and
an obstacle whilst reversing, us-
ing sound signals.
Under no circumstances should
it replace the driver’s care or re-
sponsibility 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
bicycle, etc.) or small, narrow
objects such as stones or posts
