Driver assistance systems
similar manoeuvres the driver always as-
sumes the responsibility.
●
Adapt your speed and driving st
yle at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
●
The ultrasound sensors have blind spots
in which obstacles and people are not reg-
istered. Pay special attention to children
and animals.
●
Always keep visual control of the sur-
roundings: use the mirrors for additional
help.
CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
fected by diff
erent factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
●
Under certain circumstances, the system
does not detect or display certain objects:
–
Objects such as chains, trailer draw
bars, fences, posts and thin trees.
–
Objects that are located above the
sensors, such as protrusions in a wall.
–
Objects with certain surfaces or struc-
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
●
Certain surfaces of objects and gar-
ments do not reflect the ultrasound sen-
sors' signals. The system cannot detect
these objects or people wearing such
clothes correctly.
●
Ultrasound sensor signals may be aff
ec-
ted by external sound sources. In certain
circumstances this may prevent them from
detecting people or objects.
●
Please note that low obstacles detected
by the system may no longer be registered
by the sensors as the car moves closer, so
the system will not give any further warn-
ing. In certain circumstances, objects such
as high kerbs that could damage the bot-
tom of the vehicle are not detected either.
●
If the first warning from the Parking Aid is
ignored, the vehicle could suffer considera-
ble damage.
●
The knocks or damage on the radiator
grille, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle un-
derbody can adjust the orientation of the
sensors. This can affect the parking aid
function. In this case, have the function
checked by a specialised workshop.
●
A registration plate or plate holder on the
front with larger than the space for the reg-
istration plate, or a registration plate that is
curved or warped can cause:
–
false detections,
–
loss of sensor visibility.
Note
●
In certain sit
uations, the system can give
a warning even though there is no obstacle
in the detected area, e.g:
–
with rough or cobbled fl
oors or ground
with long grass;
–
with external ultrasound sources, such
as cleaning vehicles or other vehicles
equipped with ultrasound systems;
–
in downpours, intense snow, hail or
dense exhaust gases,
–
if the number plate is not perfectly se-
cured to the bumper surface,
–
or in locations such as the brow of a
hill.
●
In order to guarantee good system oper-
ation, keep the ultrasound sensors clean,
free of snow or ice, and do not cover them
with adhesives or other objects.
●
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment to clean the ultrasound sensors, ap-
ply it directly only very briefly and always
from a distance of more than 10 cm.
●
Retrofitting of accessories to the vehicle,
such as a bicycle rack, may interfere with
the operation of the Parking Aid.
●
Fitting certain accessories to the front of
the vehicle, such as a plate holder with ad-
vertising, may interfere with the operation
of the Park Assist.
●
In order to familiarise yourself with the
system, it is advised that you practice park-
ing in an area or car park that is free from
traffic. There must be good weather and
light conditions.
