Driver assistance systems
Note
●
In some case
s, you may have to restart the
vehicle using the key. Observe the corre-
sponding message on the instrument panel
display.
●
If the steering wheel is turned more than
270°, Stop will not function; however, the an-
gle of steering wheel turn does not affect
starting the vehicle.
Parking distance warning sys-
t
em*
Intr
oduction
The parking distance warning system assists
the driv
er when p
ark
ing. When the vehicle
approaches an obstacle, forwards or back-
wards, an intermittent audible warning will
be heard, higher or lower depending on the
distance. The shorter the distance, the short-
er the intervals between tones. If the vehicle
is too close to the obstacle, the audible warn-
ing becomes constant.
If you continue to approach an obstacle when
the sound is continuous, this means the sys-
tem can no longer measure the distance.
The sensor system on the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound. Using the ultrasound
signal (transmission, reflection from the ob-
stacle and reception), this system continu-
ously calculates the distance between the
bumper and the obstacle.
WARNING
The parking distance warning system and the
optical
parking system cannot replace driver
awareness.
●
The sensors have blind spots in which ob-
stacles and people are not registered.
●
Always observe the area around the vehi-
cle, as the sensors do not always detect
small children, animals or objects.
●
The surface of certain objects and some
clothing do not reflect the ultrasound signals
from the parking distance system. The sys-
tem cannot detect or incorrectly detects
these objects and people wearing these
types of clothes.
●
External sound sources can affect the park-
ing distance aid signals. In this case, under
certain circumstances, people and objects
will not be detected.
CAUTION
●
The sensors
may not always be able to de-
tect objects such as trailer draw bars, thin
rails, fences, posts, trees and open boots,
etc. This could result in damage to your car.
●
Although the parking distance warning sys-
tem detects and warns of the presence of an
obstacle, the obstacle could disappear from
the angle of measurement of the sensors if it
is too high or low and the system would no
longer show it. Therefore, it will not warn you
of these o
bjects. Ignoring the warnings of the
parking sensor system could cause consider-
able damage to the vehicle.
●
The bumper sensors may become damaged
or misaligned, for example, when parking.
●
To ensure that the system works properly,
the bumper sensors must be kept clean, free
of ice and snow and uncovered.
●
When cleaning the sensors with high-pres-
sure or steam cleaning equipment, spray the
sensors briefly at a distance of no less than
10 cm (4 inches).
Note
Acoustic sources may lead to erroneous warn-
ings
on the parking sensor system, e.g.
rough tarmac, cobbles or the noise of other
vehicles.
