CONTROLS
Side parking aid
Principle
The system warns of obstacles on the side of
the vehicle.
Display
To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle
markings are displayed on the sides of the vehi‐
cle.
▷ No markings: no obstacles were detected.
▷ Color markings: warning against detected ob‐
stacles.
Limits of the side parking aid
The system only displays stationary obstacles
that were previously detected by sensors while
passing them.
The system does not detect whether an obstacle
moves later on. For this reason, at standstill, the
markings are not shown anymore in the display
after a certain time. The area next to the vehicle
must be newly captured.
Door opening angle
Principle
If obstacle marking is activated, the Surround
View indicates fixed obstacles that obstruct the
opening angles of the doors.
The system does not provide a warning of ap‐
proaching road users.

do not cross other objects on the Control Dis‐
play, the following needs to be noted when park‐

Because of the perspective, higher, protruding
objects may be closer than they appear on the
