Driver assistance systems
WARNING
The parking distance warning system and
the optical parking system cannot repl
ace
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 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 always be abl
e 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 angle of measurement 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 considerabl
e 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 cleaning 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
warnings on the parking sensor system, e
.g.
rough tarmac, cobbles or the noise of other
vehicles.
