WARNING
CAUTION
Function
Fig. 113 Parking aid: Range of sensors
The parking aid (referred to below solely as system) only works when the ignition is switched on.
The system supports the driver via audible signals, via the display on the radio or via the factory-installed navigation system when parking and manoeuvring » Radio user guide, Navigation system user guide.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the bumper and an obstacle. The ultrasonic sensors are integrated in the rear bumper.
Range of sensors
The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 160 cm from the obstacle (area A » Fig. 113). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm (area B ) - danger area. You should not reverse any further after this signal sounds! On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, the border of the danger area starts (continuous tone) 5 cm further away from the vehicle. The length of the vehicle can be increased with an installed detachable towing device.
Activation/deactivation
The system is activated automatically by engaging reverse gear. This is confirmed by a brief audible signal.
The system is deactivated by disengaging reverse gear.
Note
The system cannot be activated on vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device when towing a trailer.
