Starting and driving

Sensors

~1min read

The sensors are located in the rear bumper (fig. 72) and are designed to detect obstacles at the rear of the vehicle and warn the driver with an intermittent audible signal.

Czujniki

Activation/deactivation: the sensors activate automatically when reverse gear is engaged. As the distance to an obstacle behind the vehicle decreases, the frequency of the audible signal increases accordingly.

OPERATION WHEN TOWING A TRAILER

Sensor operation is automatically switched off when the trailer's electrical cable plug is inserted into the vehicle socket.

The sensors automatically reactivate when the trailer cable plug is removed from the socket.
