The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring
and
parking.
If the
vehicle is approaching an obsta-
cle
located in
the range
of the ultrasound
sensors,
an intermittent acoustic warning is
sounded
,
de-
pending on
the
distance.
The shorter the
distance,
the shorter
the
intervals.
The
acoustic warning will
sound continuously if the obstacle is very
close.
The
ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit
and
receive
ultrasound
waves.
The
system
uses
the time
difference
between the
ultrasonic
waves
(i.e.
between the
transmission and reflection from
obstacles and
the
point of reception)
to
continu-
ously calculate
the distance between
the
bumper
and the
obstacle.

A
WARNING
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen-
tration of the
driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause serious
injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions.
•
Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec-
ted
'--
.
A
WARNING
(Continued)
~-
•
Always monitor the area around the vehi-
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always
detect
infants,
animals and objects.
•
Certain surfaces of objects and clothes
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound
sensors.
The system is unable to detect
these
objects or people wearing this type of
clothing, or they may be detected
incorrectly.
•
External sources of sound can affect the
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain
circumstances, the system may not recog-
nise people or
objects.
A
WARNING
~-
.
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc-
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate
driving style can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
•
Always bear in mind the time delay be-
tween the
signals.
•
The ultrasound sensors may not always be
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or
opening tailgates. This can result
in
damage to
your vehicle.
•
If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered
.
•
The vehicle can sustain considerable dam-
age
if the warning given by the ParkPilot
is
ig-
nored.
•
The ultrasound sensors
in
the bumper can
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g.
when
parking.
•
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers
must be kept clean and free of ice and snow
and not be covered up by stickers or other
items, as these may prevent the system from
working properly.
