Driving
Braking to avoid damage due to unsuitable
speed
It is possibl
e that the syst
em operates the
brakes to reduce excess speed. The parking
manoeuvre can then continue. The brakes
will intervene during each parking process.
Braking to minimise damage
When approaching an obstacle, the vehicle
may brake automatically. In certain circum-
stances (e.g. storm, detection of ultrasounds,
vehicle status, load, inclination), the Park As-
sist system may stop the vehicle completely
before an object.

Press the foot brake

F
oll
owing the intervention of the brakes, the
Park Assist will stop.
WARNING
Despite the assistance provided by the
park assist system, do not run any risks
when parking. The syst
em is not a replace-
ment for driver awareness.
●
Always be ready to brake.
●
Automatic brake intervention will end af-
ter 1.5 seconds approximately. Following
automatic intervention of the brakes, stop
the vehicle yourself.
Parking aid*
Intr
oduction
The parking aid helps the driver when parking
and manoeuvring. When the vehicl
e ap-
proaches an obstacle, forwards or back-
wards, an intermittent audible warning will be
heard, higher or lower depending on the dis-
tance. The shorter the distance, the shorter
the intervals between tones. If the vehicle is
too close to the obstacle, the audible warning
becomes constant.
If you continue to approach an obstacle
when the sound is continuous, this means the
system can no longer measure the distance.
The sensor system on the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound. Using the ultrasound
signal (transmission, reflection from the ob-
stacle and reception), this system continu-
ously calculates the distance between the
bumper and the obstacle.
WARNING
The parking aid and the optical parking
system ar
e no substitute for driver aware-
ness.
●
The sensors have blind spots in which ob-
stacles and people are not registered.
●
Always observe the area around the vehi-
cle, as the sensors do not always detect
small children, animals or objects.
●
The surface of cer
tain objects and some
clothing do not reflect the ultrasound sig-
nals from the parking distance system. The
system cannot detect or incorrectly de-
tects these objects and people wearing
these types of clothes.
●
External sound sources can affect the
parking distance aid signals. In this case,
under certain circumstances, people and
objects will not be detected.
CAUTION
●
The sensors may not al
w
ays be able to
detect objects such as trailer draw bars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open
boots, etc. This could result in damage to
your car.
●
Although the parking distance warning
system detects and warns of the presence
of an obstacle, the obstacle could disap-
pear from the measurement angle of the
sensors if it is too high or low and the sys-
tem would no longer show it. Therefore, it
will not warn you of these objects. Ignoring
the warnings of the parking sensor system
could cause considerable damage to the
vehicle.
●
The bumper sensors may become dam-
aged or misaligned, for example, when
parking.
●
To ensure that the system works properly,
the bumper sensors must be kept clean,
free of ice and snow and uncovered.
