The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter the interval between
the audible signals .
A continuous tone sounds when the obstacle is
less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away. Do not continue
driving farther .
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant, the volume of the
distance warning gradually drops after about four seconds (this
does not apply in the continuous tone range).
Rear view camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by the rear view camera
=>
page 134, fig. 144 G). Objects that are not in the area covered ®
are not shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with the rear view camera
in a traffic-free location or parking lot to become familiar with the
system, the orientation lines, and their function. When doing this,
there should be good light and weather conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear closer or further away
if:
• you are driving in reverse gear from a level surface onto an
incline, or a downward slope,
• you are driving in reverse gear toward protruding objects,
• the vehicle is carrying too much load in the rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue surfaces diminishes
if:
• the rear view camera does not provide a reliable image, for
example, in poor visibility conditions or if the lens is dirty,
Controls and equip -
ment
• the image on the screen is not visible due to sun glare and reflec-
tion.
Caring for the rear view camera lens
The rear view camera is located above the rear license plate bracket.
For the parking system to operate, the lens =>
page 134, fig. 145
must be kept clean:
• Dampen the lens with a household alcohol-based glass cleaner,
and then wipe the lens clean with a dry cloth =>
0.
• Remove snow with a hand brush and ice preferably with a de-
icing spray =>
0.
& WARNING
• The parking system cannot replace the driver's attention. The
driver alone is responsible for parking and similar driving maneu-
vers.
• Sensors have blind spots in which objects cannot be detected.
Pay special attention to small children and animals because the
sensors cannot always detect them .
• Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's surroundings, using the
rear view mirror as well.
• Do not allow yourself to be distracted from traffic by the rear
view camera pictures.
• If the position and the installation angle of the camera has
changed, for example, after a rear end collision, do not continue to
use the system for safety reasons. Have it checked by a qualified
dealership.
0 Note
• Low obstacles already signaled by a warning can disappear from
the system's detection range as they are approached and will not
continue to be signaled. Objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, thin painted vertical poles or fences may not be detected by
the system, posing risk of damage. _,.
