Malfunctions
Read and observe and on page 238 first.
If, for some unknown reason, the system is not available, an appropriate mes-
sage appears in the display of the instrument cluster.
Sensor covered / dirty
If the sensor cover or the sensor is dirty or covered, a message appears on the
instrument cluster display stating there is no sensor view. Clean the sensor
cover or remove the obstacles » Fig. 238 on page 208.
If there is no sensor view in the winter, the snow on the sensor under the cov-
er could be the reason. The system is functional again after the snow melts
away from the sensor.

appears. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and then start it again. If the
system still is not available, seek the assistance of a specialist garage.
