Limitations of Parking assistance*

The Parking assistance function may have limita-
tions in certain situations.
NOTE
When a towbar is configured with the car's
electrical system, the protrusion of the towbar
is included when the function measures the
parking space.
IMPORTANT
Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low
barriers may be in the "signal shadow" and
are then temporarily not detected by the sen-
sors - the pulsating tone may then unexpect-
edly stop instead of changing over to the
button in function
expected constant tone.
The sensors cannot detect high objects, such
as projecting loading docks.
•
In such situations, pay extra attention and
manoeuvre/reposition the car particularly
slowly or stop the current parking
manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of
damage to vehicles or other objects since
the sensors are temporarily unable to
function optimally.
IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assistance
system may produce incorrect warning sig-
nals that are caused by external sound
sources that emit the same ultrasonic fre-
quencies that the system works with.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet
tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes and
exhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.
Maintenance
Location of parking sensors.
For parking assistance to work optimally, the
parking assistance sensors must be cleaned reg-
ularly with water and car shampoo.
