The sound produced by the acoustic alarm becomes louder when the distance between the car and the obstacle decreases.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged a short acoustic signal is automatically activated.
When an obstacle is detected an intermittent buzzer will sound ad follows:
Direction distances
Central action radius ........................ 120 cm Side action radius .............................. 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE WARNINGS
In case of parking sensor failure, the driver is warned when engaging reverse by high sound warning (for 3 seconds).
