Various systems are available to help you when parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depending on the equipment fitted on your vehicle.
When you are parking, the parking system plus warns you acoustically and optically about obstacles in front of and behind the vehicle Link.
- Always watch the road and the area surrounding the vehicle. The electronic systems cannot replace the full concentration of the driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and all other manoeuvres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or displayed by the system – risk of accident!
- The parking aid cannot replace the full concentration of the driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other manoeuvres.
- The sensors have blind spots in which obstacles are not registered. It is particularly important to ensure that there are no small children or animals near the vehicle when manoeuvring, as the sensors may not always be able to detect them – risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area around the vehicle and make full use of the rear-view mirrors.
-
The system may not always be able to detect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or structures, such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles, they may disappear from the sensors' field of vision. Please note that you will no longer be warned about these obstacles.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille, bumper, wheel arches or underbody can cause misalignment of the sensors. This can impair the effectiveness of the parking aids. Have the systems checked by a qualified workshop.
Note
-
In certain situations, a warning may be given by the system even if there is no obstacle within range of the sensors. This can be caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust fumes
- To ensure that the acoustic parking aid works properly, the sensors must be kept clean and free of snow and ice. Notes on cleaning Link.
- You can change the display* and adjust the volume and pitch of the beeps Link.
- Please refer to the notes on towing Link.
- There is a slight delay in the picture displayed on the infotainment display* .
