Reversing Camera - SMART forfour Owner's Manual

When reverse gear is engaged the system
measures the distance between your vehi-
cle and an object. If the proximity to the
object behind the vehicle is less than
1.20 m, a beeping sound is issued. When the
object is a maximum of 30 cm away, a con-
tinuous tone is issued.
Important safety notes
The parking aid is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the imme-
diate surroundings. The responsibility for
safe manoeuvring and parking remains
with you. Make sure that there are no per-
sons, animals or objects in range while
manoeuvring and parking.
! When parking, pay particular attention
to objects above or below the sensors,
such as flower pots or trailer drawbars.
The parking aid does not detect such
objects when they are in the immediate
vicinity of the vehicle. You could damage
the vehicle or the objects.
The sensors may not detect snow and other
objects that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Ultrasonic sources such as an automatic
car wash, the compressed-air brakes of a
truck or a pneumatic drill could cause
the parking aid to malfunction.
The parking aid may not function cor-
rectly on uneven terrain.
The parking aid does not take into account
obstacles located:
