The system is deactivated if the
vehicle is towing a trailer.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
System limitations
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances or in
sharp curves. The system can
temporarily alert of objects in the blind
spot at specific weather conditions
(rain, hail etc). Driving on a wet road
or in the transitions from a dry area to
a wet area can cause the control
indicator F to light up, as water
splash can be interpreted as an
object. Otherwise the control indicator
F may illuminate due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs or other immobile
objects. This is normal operation and
the system does not need to be
serviced.
The system may not operate properly
when:
● Ice, snow, mud, stickers,
magnets, metal plates, or
anything else covers the sensors.
● Driving in heavy rainstorms.
● The vehicle had an accident or if
the area surrounding the
detection sensor is damaged or
not properly repaired.
● There are extreme temperature
changes.
● The vehicle is towing a trailer
In the event of a fault in the system or
if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Note
After production, the system
requires a calibration. For optimal
performance, drive as soon as
possible on a straight highway road
with roadside objects, e.g. guardrails
and barriers for some distance.
Panoramic view system
This system allows views of the
vehicle's surroundings to be
displayed as a nearly 360° picture in
the Info Display, like a bird's eye view.
The system uses four cameras:
● rear camera, installed in the
tailgate
● front camera, installed in the front
grill below the emblem
● side cameras, located at the
bottom of both exterior mirrors.
