CAUTION
■
Keep the system sensors » fig. 69 on page 63 clean, snow- and ice-free and
do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system functioning
may be impaired.
■
In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the functioning of the system may be impaired - “incorrect
recognition of obstacles”.
■
Accessories fitted to the rear of the vehicle, such as bicycle carriers, can im-
pair the system function.
Operation
Fig. 69
Fitting the sensors / Range of the sensors
Read and observe and on page 62 first.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the
bumper and an obstacle. The ultrasonic sensors are integrated in the rear
bumper » fig. 69.
Approximate range of sensors (in cm)
Area » fig. 69 Range of sensors
A
160 cm
B
60 cm
Acoustic signals
The interval between the acoustic signals becomes shorter as the clearance is
reduced. At a distance of approx. 30 cm, a continuous tone starts to sound -
danger zone. From this moment do not continue to move towards the ob-
stacle!
Activation/deactivation
Read and observe and on page 62 first.
The system is activated by engaging reverse gear. When activated an audible
signal is heard.
The system is deactivated by disengaging reverse gear.
Displaying an error
If a warning signal sounds for 3 seconds after activating the system and there
is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. Seek help from a
specialist garage.
Reversing camera
Introduction
The rear view camera (following as system) helps the driver when parking and
manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment
screen (hereinafter only known as screen).
WARNING
■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 61, in chapter General information.
■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system func-
tion will be significantly affected - there is a risk of an accident. Information
on cleaning » page 71.
CAUTION
■
The camera image is distorted by contrast with eyesight. The screen display
is therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to following vehicles.
■
Some items (e.g. thin columns, wire mesh fences, grilles or road bumps) may
only be insufficiently displayed due to the screen resolution.
■
In a crash or damage the vehicle's rear camera can possibly deviate from the
correct position. If this is the case, have the sensor checked by a specialist ga-
rage.
