Driving and Operating 147
The rear parking assist makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
rear obstacles. It informs and warns
the driver by giving acoustic signals
and display indication.
The system has three ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Note
The 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 audio.
The interval between the audios
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 40 cm, the
audio sounds continue.

Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on

Warning (Continued)
external noise sources may cause
the system to fail to detect
obstacles. Special attention has
to be paid to low obstacles which
can damage the lower part of the
bumper.
Deactivation
The system automatically switches
off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
The system might not detect the
obstacle when the vehicle is driven
above a 10 km/h.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
X illuminates.
Additionally if the system does not
work due to temporary conditions
like snow covered sensors,
X
illuminates.
Caution
Performance of the system 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.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved in the
parking scene (e.g. off-road
vehicles, MPVs, vans, campers,
trailers and trucks). Object
identification and correct distance
indication in the upper part of
these vehicles cannot be
guaranteed.
Objects with a very small
reflection cross section, like
objects of narrow size or soft
materials, may not be detected by
the system.
Parking assist will not detect
objects out of the detection range.
