- Fig. 1 Display zones
Applies to vehicles: with parking system plus/parking system plus
with reversing camera/parking system with surround view cameras/park
assist with 360° display
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
detected in front of and
behind the vehicle
Link.
On vehicles with park assist with 360°
display, the area detected at the side of the vehicle -E-
Fig. 1 is also
monitored.
The parking system plus with reversing
camera shows a picture of the area behind the vehicle captured
by the camera. This picture helps you to manoeuvre the vehicle backwards
and sideways. In addition, you are assisted by the acoustic signals
and graphic display of the parking aid
Link.
The parking system with surround view
cameras1) helps you to manoeuvre
and park the vehicle. Depending on the equipment fitted in your
vehicle, you are assisted by various camera perspectives
Link.
The park assist helps you to
find suitable parking spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicle into spaces
parallel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive out of spaces
parallel to the kerb
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 sensors and cameras have blind spots in which neither people nor objects are registered. It is particularly important to ensure that there are no small children or animals near the vehicle.
-
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 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 familiarise yourself with the system, we recommend that you practise parking in a quiet location or a car park. The weather and light conditions should be good.
- You can change the display and adjust the volume and pitch of the beeps Link.
- Please refer to the notes on "Towing a trailer" Link.
- There is a slight delay in the picture display.
