[. . . ] Note: The parking aid switches off automatically after a period of 20 seconds if no obstacle has been detected by the front bumper sensors. You will hear an intermittent tone at a distance of approximately 150 centimetres (59 inches) between the obstacle and rear bumper, approximately 80 centimetres (31 inches) between the obstacle and front bumper and approximately 50 centimetres (20 inches) to the side. A continuous tone will start at a distance of less than 30 centimetres (11 inches) to the front and rear bumper. You will hear an alternating tone from the front and rear if obstacles are closer than 30 centimetres (11 inches) to the front and rear bumpers. Note: If a high pitch tone is heard for three seconds and the light in the switch is flashing, this indicates a malfunction. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician. 98 Cruise control PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Cruise control allows you to control your speed using the switches on the steering wheel.
