Park Assist System front, rear and along the sides

Park Assist System (PAS1) has different behaviour depending on which part of the car is approaching an obstacle.

Forwards

PS2-2007-Park Assist System front
The warning signal has a constant acoustic signal at less than approx. 30 cm(1 foot) from an obstacle.

The Park Assist System's front detectors are activated automatically when the car is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h(6 mph).

The measuring range is approx. 80 cm(2.5 feet) in front of the car.

 Note

The parking assistance system is deactivated when the parking brake is used.

 Important

When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember that these must not obscure the sensors - the auxiliary lamps may then be perceived as an obstacle.

Backwards

PS2-2007-Park Assist System rear
The warning signal has a constant tone at less than approx. 30 cm(1 foot) from an obstacle.

The sensors for reverse are activated if the car rolls backward without a gear engaged or when the gear lever is moved to reverse position.

The measuring range is approx. 1.5 metres(5 feet) behind the car.

Reversing with a trailer or bicycle rack connected electrically to the car's electrical system automatically disables the Parking Assistance System to the rear.

 Note

When reversing with a trailer or a bicycle rack, for example, on the towbar and wiring is not connected, you may need to switch off the Park Assist System manually so that the sensors do not react to these.

Along the sides

PS2-2007-Park Assist System sectors
The warning signal pulses intensively at less than approx. 25 cm(0.8 feet) from an obstacle.

The Park Assist System's front detectors are activated automatically when the car is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h(6 mph).

The measuring range is approx. 25 cm(0.8 feet) from the sides.

However, the detection range of the side sensors increases significantly when the steering angle of the front wheels is increased, and obstacles of up to approx. 90 cm(3 feet) located diagonally behind or in front of the car are detected when the steering wheel is turned.
