Things to note on the parking distance warn-
ing system
● The parking distance warning system
sometimes registers water on the sensors as
an obstacle.
● If the distance does not change, the warn-
ing signal will sound less loudly after a few
seconds. If the continuous signal sounds, the
volume will remain constant.
● When the vehicle moves away from the ob-
stacle, the beeping sound automatically
switches off. On approaching the obstacle
again, the beeping sound will automatically
switch back on.
● If the electronic parking brake is engaged
or the selector lever is set to P, no audible
warning will be emitted.
● Your technical service centre can adjust the
volume of the warning signals.
Note
If the parking distance warning system is
faulty, a constant audible warning will be
when the
emitted the first time it is switched on and
the button will flash. Switch the parking dis-
tance warning system off using the button
and take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to have the system checked as soon as
possible.
