Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid
The rear parking aid is an acoustic parking system.
Description
Sensors are located in the rear bumper. When the sensors detect an obstacle, you are alerted by acoustic signals (beeps).
Please ensure that the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and any other substances which could impair the function of the system. Notes on cleaning link►.
The measuring range of the sensors starts at about:
Rear
|
Side
|
0.90 m |
Centre
|
1.60 m |
Switching on automatically
The system is switched on automatically when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected. You will hear a brief acknowledgement tone.
Note
- The volume of the warning beeps will be reduced after a few seconds until it is muted if the vehicle remains at a constant distance from a detected obstacle (but not if the obstacle is closer than 0.30 m). If the tone is muted and the obstacle is closer than before, the tone will sound again. If the tone is muted and the obstacle is further away than before, no tone will sound. Please watch the area surrounding the vehicle when driving off.
- A distance warning will NOT be given if the system detects that a trailer is being towed. If the towing bracket is not factory-fitted the functions may not be switched off automatically.
