Parking exit warning
Parking exit warning
Using information from the radars installed on each side of the rear bumper (zone
A), the system notifies the driver when another vehicle appears in the detection zone
B.
The function is activated if:
- the reverse gear is engaged;
and
- the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low speed.
Tip
The system's detection capability depends on the vehicle's surroundings (static objects
etc.) and the condition of the bumper etc.
WARNING
This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances
intended to replace the due care and attention of the driver, who should at all times
be in control of the vehicle.
Special feature
Make sure that the radar area A is not obscured (by stickers, mud, snow, etc.).
If a radar is obscured, the "Side radars no visibility" message will appear on the instrument panel. Clean the area where the sensors are
located.
Activation/deactivation from multimedia screen 1
To activate or deactivate the function, refer to the multimedia instructions.
Select "ON" or "OFF".
Operation
The function warns you if a vehicle is in area B and is approaching your vehicle.
When a vehicle is detected, the warning lights 2 light up on both door mirrors 3.
Note: clean the door mirrors regularly 3 so that the warning lights 2 can be seen.
The warning lights 4 on the multimedia screen indicate the side on which the approaching vehicle has been
detected.
Note: clean the camera regularly so that it is not obscured.
Warning lights 2 and 4 are accompanied by an audible warning when reverse gear is engaged and your vehicle
is moving.
Operating faults
If the system detects a fault, the "Check Side radars" message is displayed on the instrument panel. Consult an approved dealer.

Due to the presence of sensors behind the bumper, it is advisable to entrust any operation
on the bumper (repair, replacement, paintwork, etc.) to a qualified professional.
