System operation
The parking assist is turned on
automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The intervals between the beeps
become shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm, the
beeping is a continuous tone which
stops immediately when the distance
is increased.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
r illuminates and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 79.
The following conditions could affect
the system's performance:
■ The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
■ The sensors are covered by frost or
ice.
■ The rear doors / tailgate are open.
■ An object was hanging out of the
rear doors / tailgate during the last
drive cycle. Once the object has
been removed, the parking assist
will return to normal operation.
■ An object or cover is attached to the
rear of the vehicle.
■ The bumper is damaged. Take the
vehicle to a workshop to repair the
system.
■ Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a jackhammer, are
affecting system performance.
In the event the system still does not
work properly, seek the assistance of
a workshop.
A warning chime is also sounded
briefly if a fault is present when
reverse gear is engaged 3 85.

Important hints for using the
parking assist systems
9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause
the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper. If
such obstacles leave the detection
area of the sensors during
approach of the vehicle, a
continuous warning tone will
sound.
