Due to the angle of view, the area under the ve‐
hicle cannot be seen by the cameras.
Detection of objects
Very low obstacles and higher, protruding ob‐
jects such as ledges cannot be detected by the
system.
Some assistance functions also consider Park
Distance Control PDC data.
Observe the notes in the chapter on Park Dis‐
tance Control PDC, see page 232.
The objects shown on the Control Display may
be closer than they appear. Do not estimate the
distance to objects based on the display.
