198000488 - E3090 PARKING SENSOR - DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The "Parking Assistance" system supplies the driver with information on distance when approaching obstacles behind the vehicle thereby providing help with parking manoeuvres and identifying obstacles that are outside the field of vision.The standard versions with four rear sensors is helpful when getting close to obstacles behind the vehicle.The driver is notified of the presence and distance of the obstacle from the vehicle by an acoustic signal which varies depending on the distance from the obstacle (as the distance from the obstacle decreases the frequency of the acoustic signal increases).The system is activated if the following conditions are present simultaneously:- key ON;- reverse gear engaged (with the speed below 15km/h).When the system is activated the buzzer (incorporated in the instrument panel) sounds as a warning that the system is activated.The system is deactivated by disengaging reverse gear and when the vehicle speed is above 18 km/h.The distance measurement only takes place when the system is activated, whilst only the control unit is operational in the inactive state. |
If there is a trailer, rear obstacles are not signalled thanks to a dedicated connection between the control unit and a socket in the tow hook. |
