& WARNING
- Sensors have dead spaces in which ob-
jects cannot be detected. Be espec ially
alert for smal l children and animals,
since they are not always detected by t he
senso rs.
- The acoust ic park ing system is not a sub-
st itute fo r the dr iver's own caut io n a nd
alertnes s . Ultimate responsib ility always
remains wit h the d river during par king
and similar maneuve rs. Always watch
where you are dr iving.
- You should always adjust t he volume and
frequency of t he warning to nes so that
you can easily hear the acoustic distance
warning even if the radio is playing, the
air-cond it ioner blower is on High or there
is a high level of outside noise.
- Check t he setti ngs whenever anyone
else has dr iven the vehicle before you.
(D Note
- Remembe r that low obstacles for which
a warn ing has a lready been iss ued may
"dive" below t he system's sens ing zone if
t he ve hicle is being backed up closer. In
t his case, the warn ing sound shut t ing off
does
not indicate that yo u have clea red
the obstacle . Instead, impact is immi-
nent.
- Objects such as trai ler hitches, chains,
narrow posts or fences covered by a t hin
layer of pa int may not a lways be detect-
ed by the system . They can still damage
you r vehicle witho ut wa rning .
