» page 127,
in section Introduction.
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
■
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. For this reason, such people or
objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.

Only for vehicles with a petrol engine and manual transmission.
on page 129 first.
WARNING (Continued)
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
■
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people not to be recog-
nised by the system.
Before reversing, you should make sure that there are no small obstacles,
■
such as rocks, thin posts, trailer drawbars etc. in front or behind your vehi-
cle. Such obstacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
Keep the system sensors
■
and do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system function-
ing may be impaired.
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
■
high temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - "incorrect recog-
nition of obstacle".
Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
■
can impair the system function.
