Parking aid*
General information
Various aid systems are in place to help in
parking and manoeuvring depending on the
vehicle’s equipment:
The rear parking aid is an audible aid that
w
arns against obstacles behind the vehicle
››› page 147.
The front parking aid is an audible aid that
warns against obstacles both behind and in
front of the vehicle
›››
page 148.
Apart from the acoustic signals, when the ve-
hicle is equipped with a portable navigator
(PND), this visually displays information re-
garding front and/or rear areas.
WARNING
●
The sensors have blind spots in which ob-
stacles may not be detected.
●
Always look out for small children and ani-
mals because the system will not always de-
tect them. Pay attention when reversing to
avoid accidents.
●
The parking aid is not a replacement for
driver awareness. The driver must take full re-
sponsibility for parking and other manoeu-
vres.
