The parking system detects and informs the driver (through an
intermittent acoustic signal) about the presence of obstacles in the rear
part of the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is
engaged.
The sound produced by the acoustic alarm becomes louder when the
distance between the car and the obstacle decreases.

activated.
When an obstacle is detected an intermittent buzzer will sound ad
follows:
❒ the sound frequency increases as the obstacle gets nearer;
❒ when the obstacle is t distance of less that 30 cm from the car, a
continous sound is emitted;
❒ sound is constant if the distance between car and obstacle is unvaried.
