When moving close to an obstacle, it is possi-
ble to know if the obstacle is in front of the
vehicle or behind it according to the sound
frequency.
The approximate measurement range of the
sensors is:
1.20 m
1.60 m
0.90 m
As you approach the obstacle, the frequency
of the audible signals will increase. The signal
will sound continuously at around 0.30 m: Stop
the vehicle!
If the separation is maintained, the warning
volume is reduced after about 4 seconds.
In order to view the entire periphery of the ve-
hicle, the vehicle must be moved a few metres
forwards or backwards. Therefore, the missing
areas are screened and obstacles at the sides
of the vehicle are displayed ›››Fig.126

Special features of ParkPilot with Area View
In the following situations the screened area
on the side of the vehicle is automatically hid-
den:
●
When a vehicle door is opened.
●
When the TCS is switched o.
●
When there is TCS or ESC regulation.
●
If the vehicle remains stationary for more
than approximately 3minutes.
Error messages
If a an error or fault message is displayed on
the instrument cluster in Park Assist, there is a
fault.
If the fault doesn't disappear before discon-
necting the ignition, it will not be indicated
next time the parking aid is connected.
If a rear sensor is faulty, only the obstacles in
the front area are detected. If a front sensor is
faulty, only the obstacles in the rear area are
displayed. The symbol is displayed.
We recommend taking the vehicle to a special-
ised workshop to have the fault repaired.
Trailer mode
Fig.127 Parking assist display on the
screen with trailer attached.
On vehicles with a
factory-tted trailer hitch,
when the trailer is connected, the rear sensors
will not activate when reverse gear is engaged
or button is pressed. Therefore, any objects
behind or to the side of the vehicle will not be
indicated on the screen and no audio signals
will sound.
The screen will only display objects detected
at the front, and the vehicle's trajectory will be
hidden.
