Driving and operating 163
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you
will hear acoustic warning signals in
the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Info-
Display 3 98.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated
automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 10 km/h or if the vehicle
stops for more than three seconds in
a forward gear or if no further
obstacles are detected.
Manual deactivation is also possible
by pressing the parking assist button
r.
When the system is deactivated
manually, the LED in the button
extinguishes and a message pops-up
in the Driver Information Centre.
After a manual deactivation, the front-
rear parking assist is activated again
if r is pressed or if reverse gear is
engaged.
System limitations
In the event of a fault or if the system
does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, Service
in the cluster instrument illuminates.
A message is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre.

Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause
the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be
reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and
correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
