type 2 litre diesel

[Invité §Ano443aD]

I have a 2005 model first reg., in Germany fitted with rear parking aid (not on front) which is not working. I checked the handbook which says that a on/off switch is located on the overhead console - it isn't there. Is it elsewhere - it must exist for when towing.

Well, this is a french-speaking forum, so we'll try to help as much as we can. Registering is welcome, too !

 

 

According to the 2006 version of the owner handbook, this switch exists only if there's a front parking aid too.

 

When both front and rear parking assist are fitted, a switch is located in the overhead console.

Pressing the switch turns front and rear parking assist on or off together. The integral switch warning light will come on when the system is turned on. The light will blink if a fault is detected in the system.

 

A switch is not provided where only rear parking assist is fitted.

Note: Front parking assist is always inactive when the ignition is turned on. It is switched on when reverse gear is selected, or if the overhead console switch is pressed at speeds below 9 mph (15 km/h).

 

If the 2005 models are the same on this point, then the problem must come from elsewhere, for example from a dead fuse or dead sensor.
