The parking sensors are the simple solution for correct reversing. They reduce the risk of colliding with people or objects that are out of the driver‘s line of sight (low walls, railings, or even small children).
Rear parking sensors
- are fitted recessed into the rear bumper,
- do not spoil the vehicle‘s aesthetics in any way,
- are activated when reverse gear is engaged,
- using ultrasonic waves, the sensors calculate the distance between the vehicle and the potential obstruction,
- inform the driver about how much space there is behind the vehicle using an acoustic signal through the speaker and display on the infotainment screen.
A description of how the rear parking sensors work, detailed information on how to use them and a visual representation of the area monitored can be found in the Owner‘s Manual – see the „Parking aid“ section in the „Assist systems“ chapter.
