Object detection
systems
Parking assist
(If fitted)
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance
between the vehicle and rear
obstacles, and giving acoustic
signals. It is the driver, however, who
bears full responsibility for parking
manoeuvre.
The system consists of four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Control indicator r 3 68.

Attached parts in the detection area
cause system malfunction.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is activated automatically.
An obstacle is indicated by acoustic
warnings. The interval between the
warnings becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than 40 cm,
the acoustic warning sounds
continuously.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated
automatically when:
■ the vehicle is driven above 10 km/h
■ the vehicle is parked
■ a fault in the system occurs.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
r illuminates.
Additionally if the system does not
work due to temporary conditions like
snow covered sensors, r
illuminates.
Important hints for using the
parking assist systems
9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause
the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Caution
Performance of the sensor can be
reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
