PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (4/5)

System servicing/repairs

- In the event of an impact, the alignment of the sensors may be altered and their operation may consequently be affected.

Deactivate the function and consult an authorised dealer.

- Any work in the area where the sensors are located (repairs, replacements, etc.) must be carried out by a qualified profes-

sional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

System disturbance

Some conditions can disrupt or damage the operation of the system, for example:

- poor weather conditions (rain, snow, hail, black ice, etc.);

- in the event of exposure to strong electromagnetic waves (under high-voltage lines, etc.);

- some types of noise (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill etc.);

- fitting a non-compatible towing ball or hook;

- ...

Risk of false alarms or absence of warnings

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

2.40

CarManuals2.co

PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (5/5)

Limitation of the system operation

- The area around the sensors must be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the proper operation of the

system.

- Small objects moving close to the vehicle (motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) may not be recognised by the system.

- The system may not detect objects that are too close to the vehicle.

- The system may not provide a warning when the other vehicles or objects are travelling at a significantly different speed.

- When there is a change in trajectory during a manoeuvre, the system may be slow in reporting obstacles.

- When the vehicle is towing a trailer, the rear Park Assist system must be deactivated.

Deactivating the function

You must deactivate the function if the sensor area has been damaged.
