Driving with a trailer
Fig. 210 ParkPilot display on the screen with
trailer attached.
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory, when the trailer is
connected electrically, the Parking Aid rear
sensors will not be activated when reverse
gear is engaged, when the selector lever is
turned to position R or when the button  is
pressed.
The distance to possible obstacles at the rear
of the vehicle and at its sides will not be dis-
played on the screen and will not be indica-
ted by means of audible sound signals.
The Easy Connect system screen will only dis-
play objects detected at the front, and the ve-
hicle's trajectory will be hidden.

Operation

Parking aid (ParkPilot)*

Description
Various systems are available to help you
when parking or manoeuvring in tight
spaces, depending on the equipment fitted
on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns of obstacles located behind the
vehicle.
There are sensors integrated in the rear
bumper. When they detect an obstacle, you
are alerted by audible warnings and visually
on the Easy Connect system.
If the Area View system is installed, the rear
parking aid will issue an audible warning
about objects near the rear of the vehicle,
and the Area View image will be available on
the Easy Connect screen, giving a real image
of the objects around the car.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues, dirt and
the like, as this could affect the system's op-

eration. Cleaning instructions
The approximate measurement range of the
rear sensors is:
side area 0.60 m
central area 1.60 m
As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
val between the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: Do not continue to
move forward (or backward)
If you maintain separation from the obstacle,
the volume of the warning begins to reduce
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the constant warning).
Activating/Deactivating
When engaging reverse gear, the parking aid
is automatically switched on. This is con-
firmed with a short warning.
On disengaging reverse gear, the parking aid
system is switched off.
WARNING
Always pay attention, also when looking
●
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle sur-
roundings. The assistance systems are not a
replacement for driver awareness. When in-
serting or removing the vehicle from a park-
ing space, or when performing similar ma-
noeuvres the driver always assumes the re-
page 268. sponsibility.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
●
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
