système de guidage en marche arrière
Just guessing — but it ought to help you research it at least.
More commonly, we have 'radar de recul' — but I don't know if what you have is the same thing?

Aide au stationnement/aide au parking (arrière)
Même s'il paraît moins précis (l'aide au stationnement peut comprendre aussi les systèmes de manoeuvre automatisée pour se garer), c'est pour moi le terme le plus souvent employé en France par les constructeurs. Radar de recul, comme déjà suggéré (ou encore détecteur de recul), est aussi couramment employé en France ; c'est dans un sens plus précis, mais comme il existe aussi des caméras de recul le terme me semble trop limité cette fois... Selon les précisions que vous avez, vous pourrez éventuellement utiliser un terme plutôt qu'un autre.

En y repensant, ma réponse est valable si cela concerne une voiture particulière, mais s'il s'agit d'un camion ou d'un autre type de véhicule je n'affirmerai pas que c'est le terme communément utilisé.

Seems I can't add any new response to Tony's comment in the dedicated area, and I have already used the maximum number of characters. I agree Tony, it may have a special meaning indeed... Thank you for pointing out it is not the common term in English. I guess more context/details would make things a bit clearer.

: But a vehicle might be reversing for reasons other than just parking. So this is too restrictive. / This isn't the common term in EN either, suggesting it may have a special meaning; it specifically does NOT mention anything about parking either.

It is true Tony, I won't say French car makers and car specialists chose the best term... but as the asker is looking for the equivalent used in French, I give the term which is by far mostly used (at least in written language) by car professionals :-)..

So I think we can safely assume this is a quirky term, which begs the question of whether or not to over-interpret it to something that would appear less quirky in the target language..?
