stance, if an object is identified to the rear left
of the vehicle, the warning signal sounds from
the rear left loudspeaker.
The shorter the distance to an object be‐
comes, the shorter the intervals become.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approximately 25 cm, 10 in, a continuous tone
sounds.
With front PDC: if there are objects in front of
and behind the vehicle, an alternating continu‐
ous tone sounds.
The acoustic signal is switched off when se‐
lector lever position P is engaged on the Step‐
tronic transmission.

The rear sensors are unable to perform any
meaningful measurements. Thus, they are
switched off.
A Check Control message is displayed if corre‐
sponding equipment is fitted.
Limits of the ultrasound measurement
Detection of objects might not be possible if
the limits of the physical ultrasound measure‐
ment are exceeded, such as for instance at the
following times:
▷ With small children and animals.
▷ With persons with certain clothing, for ex‐
ample a coat.
▷ With external disruption to the ultrasound,
for example by passing vehicles or loud
machines.
▷ If the sensors are dirty, iced-up, damaged
or incorrectly adjusted.
▷ In certain weather conditions, for example
high humidity, rain, snowfall, extreme heat
or strong wind.
▷ With trailer noses and tow hitches of other
vehicles.
▷ With thin or wedge-shaped objects.
▷ With moving objects.
▷ For higher, protruding objects, for example
projecting walls or loads.
▷ For objects with corners and sharp edges.
▷ For objects with fine surfaces or struc‐
tures, for example fences.
▷ For objects with porous surfaces.
Low objects already indicated, such as kerbs,
may enter the sensors' blind areas before or
after a continuous tone is given.
