CAUTION
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
■
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. Have the fault
rectified by a specialist garage.
The sensors must be kept clean (free of ice, etc.) to enable the parking aid to
■
operate properly.
Note
Additionally installed modules such as bicycle carriers can impair the function of
■
the parking aid.
