Help with parking and manoeuvring
for driver awareness. Responsibility always
lies with the driver.
●
The sensors have blind spots in which ob-
stacles and people are not detected. Pay
special attention to children and animals.
●
Always keep visual control of the sur-
roundings: use the mirrors for additional
help.
CAUTION
Parking distance warning system functions
can be affected by different factors that
can cause damage:
●
Under certain circumstances, the system
does not detect or display certain objects:
–
Chains, trailer draw bars, bars, fences,
posts and thin trees.
–
Objects that are located above the sen-
sors, such as protrusions in a wall.
–
Objects with certain surfaces or struc-
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
●
Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not reflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect these ob-
jects or people wearing such clothes cor-
rectly.
●
Sensor signals may be affected by exter-
nal sound sources. This may prevent them
from detecting people or objects.
●
If the system warns you of the proximity
of a low obstacle, please note that after be-
ing detected by the system, the obstacle in
question may disappear from the measure-
ment sensors as the vehicle moves closer,
and the system will no longer warn of its
presence. In certain circumstances, objects
such as high kerbs that could damage the
underside of the vehicle are not detected.
●
If the parking distance warning system is
ignored, the vehicle could suffer consider-
able damage.
●
Damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel arch and vehicle underbody can
modify the orientation of the sensors. This
can affect the parking aid function. Have
the function checked by a specialised
workshop.
●
A number plate or number plate holder
with dimensions that exceed the space for
the number plate, or a cured or deformed
number plate can cause false detections or
a loss of visibility for the sensors.
Note
●
The display on the Infotainment system
screen shows a slight time delay.
●
In certain situations, the system can give
a warning even though there is no obstacle
in the detected area:
–
Rough or cobbled surfaces or surfaces
with long grass.
–
External ultrasound sources, such as
other vehicles equipped with ultra-
sound systems.
–
Heavy rain or snow, hail or dense ex-
haust gases.
–
If the number plate is not properly se-
cured to the surface of the bumper.
–
Gradient changes.
●
In order to guarantee good operation,
keep the sensors clean, free of snow and
ice, and do not cover them with stickers or
other objects.
●
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment for cleaning, do not apply it directly,
unless you do so very briefly, and always
keep a distance of more than 10 cm away.
●
Fitting certain accessories to the front of
the vehicle, such as a plate holder with ad-
vertising, may interfere with the operation
of the Park Assist.
●
We recommend that you practice parking
in an area without traffic.
●
The volume and tone of the signals and
indications can be changed
