Parking Assist
General information
The rear system is deactivated when a
plug is connected to the power outlet of
the trailer hitch.
Warning
The driver bears full responsibility for
the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding area
when driving backwards or forwards
while using parking assist system.
Rear parking assist
The system warns the driver with audible
signals and a display indication against
potentially hazardous obstacles behind
the vehicle while the reverse gear is
engaged.
The system operates with ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
After engaging the reverse gear, an
audible signal is given from the rear
speakers and a display indication will
be shown. If no audible signal is given,
the display indication is not shown or a
warning message appears, the system
has a failure.
Deactivation
The system is switched off when reverse
gear is disengaged.
Indication
As soon as an obstacle gets closer to the
vehicle, an audible signal is given and
the symbol
may flash. The interval
between the sounds becomes shorter as
the vehicle gets closer to that obstacle.
When the distance is less than approx.
30 cm, the sound is continuous.
If the vehicle stops for more than three
seconds, if the automatic transmission is
in
P position, or if no further obstacles
are detected, no audible signals are
given.
Note
An audible signal is not given if the
sound has been muted or if the display
of the rear view camera indicated on the
Information Display has been switched
off.
Additionally, the distance to rear
obstacles is displayed by changing
distance lines in the Information Display
