Parking assistant (RTA)

g assistant: monitored zone around the
vehicle being parked.
The parking assistant uses the radar sensors
on the r
e
ar b
umper ››› Fig. 222 to monitor the
traffic crossing behind the vehicle as it backs
out of a parallel parking space or as it is be-
ing manoeuvred, for example in very low visi-
bility conditions.
If the system detects that someone else on
the road is approaching the rear of the vehi-
cle ››› Fig. 225, an acoustic alarm will sound.
●
In vehicles without ParkPilot a “gong” will
sound and a message will be displayed on
the instrument panel.
●
If the vehicle is equipped ParkPilot, the
ParkPilot acoustic alarm will sound continu-
ously.
Automatic braking to reduce damages
If the system detects that someone else on
the road is approaching the rear of the vehi-
cle and the driver does not step on the brake,
the system will engage the brakes automati-
cally.
The parking system helps the driver by auto-
matically engaging the brakes to reduce any
damage. The system will brake automatically
if the vehicle is backing up at a speed of ap-
proximately 1-12 km (1-7 mph). Once it has
detected that the vehicle has stopped, the
system will keep the vehicle stopped for ap-
prox. 2 seconds.
After automatically braking to reduce dam-
age, the system will not be able to automati-
cally brake again for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
You can interrupt the automatic braking by
stepping forcefully on the accelerator pedal
or the brake pedal in order to regain control
of the vehicle.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
blind spot
detector cannot overcome the lim-
its imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. Do not
let the extra convenience afforded by the
parking assistant tempt you into taking any
risks. The system is not a replacement for
driver awareness.
●
The system should never be used in limited
visibility conditions or complicated traffic,
e.g., in high-traffic areas or when crossing
multiple lanes.
●
Be sure to always be aware of the vehicle's
surroundings, since the system is not guaran-
teed to detect things such as bicycles or pe-
destrians in all situations.
●
The parking assistant itself will not brake
the vehicle to a complete stop.
