When the trailer socket is connected, the rear parking sensors are NOT activated when you select reverse gear or press the button. This results in the following restrictions:
Parking system plus* / park assist with 360° display*
There is no rear distance warning. However, the system will still give a warning when obstacles are detected while driving forwards. The proximity graphic will switch over to towing mode.
Reversing camera* / surround view cameras*
There is no rear distance warning. However, the system will still give a warning when obstacles are detected while driving forwards. The proximity graphic will switch over to towing mode. The image of the reversing camera will then be shown without orientation lines and blue area markings.
Note
Towing brackets which are not factory-fitted can restrict or impair the function of the parking aid.
