What else you should do when parking your vehicle on
an incline or decline
Turn the steering wheel so that if the vehicle should start to roll, it
will roll into the curb.
If you are parking on a
decline (the front of your vehicle facing
downhill), turn the front wheels to the right so that they point
toward the curb.
If you are parking on an incline (the font of your vehicle facing
uphill!, turn the front wheels to the left so that they point

& WARNING
This is how you can reduce the risk of injury when leaving your
vehicle.
• Never park the vehicle where it can come in contact with dry
grass, spilled fuel or any other flammable materials.
• Never allow anyone - especially small children -to remain in the
vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors make it more difficult for
rescuers to access the passenger compartment in the event of an
emergency. Danger to life!
• Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. Children
could release the parking brake or move the gearshift lever out of
gear. The vehicle could start to roll away and cause an accident.
• No matter what the season is, the temperature in a parked
vehicle can reach dangerous levels. •
Acoustic parking system
Appl ies to vehicles : w ith 4-channel acoust ic park assist
Rear acoustic park assist
Acoustic park assist gives a warning about obstacles
behind the vehicle.
Description
The rear acoustic park assist (4-channel acoustic park assist) deter-
mines the distance of the vehicle from an obstacle using ultrasonic
sensors. The sensors are in the rear bumper . The volume and the
pitch of the chimes can be adjusted through the menu display
=> page 27.
The range at which the sensors start to measure is about:
To the side
Center rear
Activation
2 feet (0.60 ml
5 feet (1.60 ml
The parking assist is activated when reverse gear is engaged. A brief
tone confirms that the system is activated .
Backing up
Distance warning when backing up starts when an obstacle is
detected in the range of the park assist system. As the distance
decreases, the time interval between the audible tones becomes
shorter.
When the distance is less than 1 foot (0.30 ml, the tone becomes
continuous. At this point you should stop backing up.
Please note that low objects already signalled by a warning can
disappear from the system's detection range and will not continue
to be signalled.
