responsible when entering or leaving a park-
ing space and during similar maneuvers.

clothing, are not detected by the system.

Tips
- The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover-
age area in some situations, such as :
- certa in road surfaces or for long grass.
- external ultrasonic sources e.g. from
cleaning vehicles.
- heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle exhaust.
- We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be·
come familiar with the system. When doing
this, there should be good light and weath-
er conditions.
- You can change the volume of the signals.
- What appears in the display is slightly de-
layed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the park assist to operate.
