Using the parking aid
Useful information
!
Pay attention to people and obstacles
when manoeuvring or parking the car.
The driver is responsible in these situa-
tions.
The electronic parking aid gives an acous-
tic indication of the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle behind it.
The parking aid uses three sensors
:
in
the rear bumper to monitor the area around
the vehicle.
The parking aid measures the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle. If the
proximity to the object behind the vehicle
is less than 1.20 m, a short signal is issued.
If the object is less than 30 cm away, a con-
tinuous warning tone is issued.
The parking aid might not function cor-
rectly under the following circumstances:
R
the vehicle is on uneven terrain
R
if there are obstacles below or above the
sensor detection range
R
the vehicle is on snow or near objects
that absorb ultrasonic waves
R
the vehicle is near strong ultrasonic
sources, such as pneumatic hammers
If you engage reverse gear while the engine
is running, the parking aid is activated.
Activating and deactivating the park-
ing aid
The parking aid is automatically activated
when you start the engine.
