Rear parking aid*
Description
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns of obst
acles located behind the
vehicle.
There are sensors integrated in the rear
bumper. When the sensors detect an obsta-
cle, you are alerted by audible warnings.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues, dirt and
the like, as this could affect the system's op-
eration. Cleaning instructions

page 323.
The approximate measurement range of the
rear sensors is:
0.60 m
1.60 m
As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
val between the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: Do not continue to
move forward (or backward)

Error messages
When the Parking Aid is activated or when it is
switched on, if a message r
eporting a Parking
aid error is displayed on the instrument panel,
there is a fault in the system.
If the fault disappears before disconnecting
the ignition, the next time that the parking aid
is engaged in reverse, no audible signal of the
existence of a fault will be issued.
Have the fault corrected by a specialised
workshop without delay.
