The measurement is accompanied by sound signals, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle; as soon as the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is approximately 25 centimeters, the signal will sound continuously.
Forward travel
The parking assistance system is only activated if the vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h.
Most objects located in front at a distance of approximately 60 centimeters from the vehicle are detected: an audible signal sounds.
Reverse
When reverse gear is engaged, most objects located at the rear at a distance of approximately 1.5 meters from the vehicle are detected: an audible signal sounds.
If an obstacle is detected both in front and behind the vehicle, the closest obstacle to the vehicle is taken into account and an audible warning sounds. If both obstacles are less than 30 cm from the front and rear of the vehicle, the warning chimes will sound alternately.

Switching the parking assistance system on and off is done with key 1.
Automatic system shutdown
The system shuts down:
- when the parking brake with a servo is on;
- when the vehicle speed is above about 10 km/h;
- when the vehicle is stationary for more than about five seconds and an obstacle is detected (for example, in a traffic jam, etc.);
- if the gear lever is in neutral (car with manual transmission) or selector lever—in position N or P (car with automatic transmission).
