WARNING
• The parking distance warning system cannot replace the driver's
assessment of the situation. The driver is personally responsible for safe
parking and other manoeuvres.
• The sensors have blind spots in which obstacles and people are not
registered.
• Be particularly aware of small children or animals when reversing. The
sensors may not always be able to detect them.
Caution
• The system may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer draw
bars, thin rails, fences, posts etc. This could result in damage to your car.
• The parking distance warning system works only at speeds of under
approx. 15 km/h.
• The parking distance warning sensors in the bumpers must be kept clean
and free of ice. When cleaning with pressure hoses and steam cleaners, the
sensors should be sprayed only briefly. A distance of 10 cm between the
sensors and the steam / hose nozzle must be observed.
Note
• A system fault will be indicated via a tone when activated for the first time
and by the warning lamp flashing in the button. Switch the system off at the
button and have it checked by a qualified dealership as soon as possible.
• If your vehicle has a factory-fitted towing attachment

, the parking
distance warning system is not active when the reverse gear is engaged if you
are towing a trailer.
• The parking distance warning system registers water as an obstacle.
