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 approximately 25 centimetres from the obstacle.

There is a beep when reverse gear is engaged. If the beep sounds for a long time (about 3 seconds), this signals an operating fault.

The parking distance control system does not take into account towing and load carrying systems etc.

Note: make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.).

An impact to the underside of the vehicle (eg. striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (eg. deformation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.

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 responsibility 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.

Temporary deactivation of the system

Press switch 1 to deactivate the system.

The indicator light built into the switch lights up to remind you that the system is deactivated.

Pressing the switch again will reactivate the system and switch off the indicator light.

The system is automatically reactivated after the ignition is switched off and the engine restarted.

Prolonged deactivation of the system

You can deactivate the system permanently by pressing and holding switch 1.

The warning light built into the switch remains lit constantly.

The deactivated system can be reactivated by pressing and holding the switch again.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating fault, a beep sounds for about 3  seconds as a warning. Consult an approved dealer
