System limits
General
The function to protect the vehicle sides only
shows stationary obstacles that were previ-
ously detected by the sensors when driving
past.
The system does not detect whether an ob-
stacle subsequently moves. The grey hatched
areas on the sides are hidden after a certain
period of time when the vehicle is at a stand-
still. The area on the side of the vehicle must
be newly captured.
Also observe the limits of the system in the
chapter "Parking assistance systems".
