With parking assistant: side
protection
Concept
The system warns of obstacles on the side of
the vehicle.
General information
The system uses the ultrasound sensors of
PDC and parking assistant.
Display
To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle
markings are displayed on the vehicle at the
sides.
▷ Color markings: warning against detected
obstacles.
▷ Gray markings, hatched area: no obstacles
were detected.
▷ No markings, black area: the area next to
the vehicle was not yet captured.
Limits of side protection
The system only displays stationary obstacles
that were previously detected by sensors while
passing them.
The system does not detect whether an obsta‐
cle moves later on. If the vehicle is stationary,
the markings are shown in black after a certain
time. The area next to the vehicle must be
newly captured.
Side protection is not available, if the trailer
power socket is in use.
