Front and rear parking aid

The parking aid provides a warning of obstacles in front and behind
the vehicle.
Fig. 113 Activating the parking aid/detection range of the front sensors
The audible parking aid determines the distance between the front or rear bumper
and an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The sensors are integrated in
the front and rear bumper. The signal tones for the front parking aid sound higher
as standard than for the rear parking aid. The tones of the parking aid can be
adapted in the menu of the Information display  page 24.

From this moment on do not continue driving! If the vehicle is equipped with a
factory-fitted towing device, the indication threshold of the danger area starts -
continuous tone - 5 cm further behind the vehicle. The vehicle can be extended
through an installed detachable towing device.
On factory-fitted radio navigation systems and car stereos, the distance to the
obstruction can also be shown graphically in the display. On vehicles with a factory-
fitted towing device, the rear sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The
driver is informed about this by a graphic display (vehicle towing a trailer) in the
radio or the radio navigation display. In some factory fitted radios or radio navigation
systems, you can configure the system to reduce the playback volume when the
parking aid is active, see the owner's manual for the radio or radio navigation
system. This makes it easier to hear the parking aid.

WARNING

The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention and
it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when reversing the vehicle or
carrying out similar manoeuvres.

You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no small
obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your
vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.

Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the parking aid. Thus, these objects or
people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking
aid.
Note

Only the front parking aid operates if you are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device).

If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
confirmed additionally when the symbol
Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.

The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.
