Sensors in the bumper
Sensors are located in the rear bumpers. If
these detect an obstacle, audible and visual
signals warn you. The range at wh ich the sen-
sors beg in to measure is approximately:
To the side

ft (0.60
m)
Center rear
5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Distance warning when reversing starts when
an obstacle is detected in the range of the
parking assist system. As the distance de-
creases, the time interval between the audible
tones becomes shorter .
When the distance is less than 1ft (0.30 m),
the tone becomes continuous. At this point
you should stop backing up.
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same,
the volume of the distance signal chime is
gradually reduced after about 4 seconds (does
not affect the continuous s ignal tone). Ap-

Rear view camera coverage area

Objects
that are not in the area covered @ are not
shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you pract ice parking with
the rear view camera in a traffic-free location
or parking lot to become familiar with the sys-
tem, the orientation lines, and their function.
When doing this, there should be good light
and weather conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- you are driving in reverse gear from a level
surface onto an incline, or a downward
slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear towa rd pro-
truding objects,
- the vehicle is carrying too mu ch load in th e
rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces diminishes if:
- the rear view camera does not provide a reli-
able image, for example, in poor visibility
conditions or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to
sun glare and reflection.
Caring for the rear view camera lens
The rear view camera is located above the rear
license plate bracket. For the parking assist to
operate, the lens
¢
fig . 126 must be kept
clean:
- Dampen the lens with a household alcohol-
based glass cleaner, and clean the lens with
a dry cloth
¢ (D.
- Remove snow with a hand brush and ice
preferably with a de-icing spray ¢ ()).
