Park Assist (hereinafter referred to as the system) draws attention via acoustic
signals or the Infotainment display when manoeuvring around obstacles in the
vicinity of the vehicle.
WARNING
■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 96, in section Introduction.
■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. There is a danger that such ob-
jects or people may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors.
There is a danger that obstacles may not be recognised by the system sen-
sors.
■
Before reversing, you should satisfy yourself that there are no small ob-
stacle, such as a rock, thin post etc., in front or behind your vehicle. Such
obstacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
■
Keep the system sensors » Fig. 116 on page 99 clean, snow-and ice-free
and do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system function-
ing 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 additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
can impair the system function.

sensors
Read and observe and on page 99 first.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the
bumper and an obstacle. The ultrasonic sensors are, depending on vehicle
equipment,, located in the back or in the front bumper » Fig. 116.
Depending on the equipment, the following system variants are possible
