Help with parking and manoeuvring
for driver awareness. Responsibility always
lies with the driver.
The sensors have blind spots in which ob-
stacl
es and people are not detected. Pay
special attention to children and animals.
Always keep visual control of the sur-
roundings: use the mirrors for additional
help.
CAUTION
Parking distance warning system functions
can be aff
ected by different f
actors that
can cause damage:
Under certain circumstances, the system
does not detect or display certain objects:
Chains, trailer draw bars, 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.
Sensor signals may be affected by exter-
nal sound sources. This may prevent them
from detecting people or objects.
If the system warns you of the proximity
of a low obstacle, please note that after
being detected by the system, the obstacle
in question may disappear from the meas-
urement sensors as the vehicle mo
ves clos-
er, and the system will no longer warn of its
presence. In certain circumstances, ob-
jects such as high kerbs that could damage
the underside of the vehicle are not detec-
ted.
If the parking distance warning system is
ignored, the vehicle could suffer considera-
ble damage.
Damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel arch and vehicle underbody can
modify the orientation of the sensors. This
can affect the parking aid function. Have
the function checked by a specialised
workshop.
A number plate or number plate holder
with dimensions that exceed the space for
the number plate, or a cured or deformed
number plate can cause false detections or
a loss of visibility for the sensors.
Note
The display on the Easy Connect screen
shows a slight time delay.
In cer
tain situations, the system can give
a warning even though there is no obstacle
in the detected area;
rough or cobbled surfaces or with long
grass,
external ultrasound sources, such as
other v
ehicles equipped with ultra-
sound systems,
downpours, heavy snow, hail or dense
exhaust gases,
if the number plate is not perfectly se-
cured to the bumper surface,
in gradient changes.
In order to guarantee good operation,
keep the sensors clean, free of snow and
ice, and do not cover them with stickers or
other objects.
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment for cleaning, do not apply it directly,
unless you do so very briefly, and always
keep a distance of more than 10 cm away.
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.
We recommend that you practice park-
ing in an area without traffic.
The volume and tone of the signals and
indications can be changed
