You have to turn on the acoustic parking assist manually if you wish
to park the vehicle forwards or if you wish to approach an obstacle
forwards and want a distance warning .
The range at whic h the sensors start to measure is about:

Dist ance wa rning is given by chimes which are generated by a
signal generator . The volume and the pitch of the chimes can be
adjusted in the MM I => page
180.
Mute
In t he case of vehic les with automatic transmission, an acoustic
distance warning is discontinued when the transmission selector
Controls and equip-
ment
lever is moved to the P position . However, the system remains
active . As soon as the selector lever is moved fro m the
P pos it ion
and the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the acoustic distance
warning resumes.
Dr ivi n g fo rw a rd / b ac kw ar d
Dista n ce warn ing w hen driving fo rward/ backward is based on
detection of an obstac le in the range of the parking assist. As the
distance decreases, t he time interval betwee n the aud ible t ones
becomes shorter.
When the distance is less than approx .
1 ft (0.30 m), the tone
becomes cont inuous. At th is po int you shou ld stop backing up or
driving forward .
If the distance to an obstacle remains the same, the vo lume of the
distance warning is gradua lly reduced after about
4 seconds (does
not app ly to the zone for the continuous tone). If you start to
approach the detected obstacle again, the distance warning will
sound at the norma l volume again.
Pa rking
When you select another gear when park ing (e.g. reverse/forwa rd),
the warning tones are temporarily suppressed, but the visua l
display remains on the MMI display . If you start approaching a
detected obstac le again, the distance warning wi ll sound at the
normal volume again .
Vi s u a l displa y
The segments on t he MMI disp lay indicate a change in the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle . The number of segments
displayed depends on the obstac les in front of or behind the
vehic le. The closer the vehic le comes to the obstacle, the closer t he
segments approach the vehic le => page
170, fig. 193. When the
seg m ent before last is displaye d, the ve hicle has reac hed the coll i-
sion zone. At this point you should stop backing up or driving
forward =>
