The acoustic alarm will stop immediately

as distance raises. The acoustic alarm is

constant if the distance measured by

central sensors is unvaried, whereas if

this situation takes place for side sen-

sors the acoustic alarm is muted after

about 3 seconds to prevent sound indi-

cations when performing manoeuvres

near walls.

SENSORS

Obstacles are detected by 4 sensors lo-

cated in the front bumper (where pro-

vided) fig. 105 and 4 sensors located

in the rear bumper fig. 106.

Parking manoeuvres

ity that shall always check the

absence of people (specially

children) or animals in the ma-

noeuvre space. This system is

just a help for the driver but

she/he shall never reduce at-

tention during dangerous ma-

noeuvres even if performed at
