Help with parking and manoeuvring
●
The surf
ace of certain objects and some
clothing do not reflect the ultrasound sig-
nals from the parking distance system. The
system cannot detect or incorrectly de-
tects these objects and people wearing
these types of clothes.
●
External sound sources can affect the
parking distance aid signals. In this case,
under certain circumstances, people and
objects will not be detected.
CAUTION
●
The sensors may not al
ways be able to
detect 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
system detects and warns of the presence
of an obstacle, the obstacle could disap-
pear from the measurement angle of the
sensors if it is too high or low and the sys-
tem would no longer show it. Therefore, it
will not warn you of these objects. Ignoring
the warnings of the parking sensor system
could cause considerable damage to the
vehicle.
●
The bumper sensors may become dam-
aged 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 cl
eaning the sensors with high-
pressure 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
w
arnings on the parking sensor system, e.g.
rough tarmac, cobbles or the noise of other
vehicles.

Automatic connection: engage reverse
gear.
●
Automatic disconnection: drive faster than
15 km/h (9 mph).
The button lights up when the function is
switched on.
Special characteristics
●
The parking aid system sometimes detects
water on the sensors as an obstacle.
●
If the distance does not change, the warn-
ing signal will sound less loudly after a few
seconds. If the continuous signal sounds, the
volume will remain constant.
●
When the vehicle moves away from the ob-
stacle, the beeping sound automatically
switches off. On approaching the obstacle
