The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns about obstacles located behind
›››
the vehicle page 224.
During parking, Parking System Plus assists
the driver by visually and audibly warning
them about obstacles detected in front and
›››
behind the vehicle page 224.
WARNING
Always pay attention, also when looking
●
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle
surroundings. The assistance systems are
not a replacement for driver awareness.
When inserting or removing the vehicle
from a parking space, or when performing
similar manoeuvres the driver always as-
sumes the responsibility.
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
●
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
The ultrasound sensors have blind spots
●
in which obstacles and people are not reg-
istered. Pay special attention to children
and animals.
Always keep visual control of the sur-
●
roundings: use the mirrors for additional
help.
CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
fected by different factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
Driver assistance systems
Under certain circumstances, the system
●
does not detect or display certain objects:
Objects such as chains, trailer draw
–
bars, fences, posts and thin trees.
Objects that are located above the
–
sensors, such as protrusions in a wall.
Objects with certain surfaces or struc-
–
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
Certain surfaces of objects and gar-
●
ments do not reflect the ultrasound sen-
sors' signals. The system cannot detect, at
least correctly, these objects or people
wearing such clothes.
Ultrasound sensor signals may be affec-
●
ted by external sound sources. In certain
circumstances this may prevent them from
detecting people or objects.
Please note that low obstacles detected
●
by the system may no longer be registered
by the sensors as the car moves closer, so
the system will not give any further warn-
ing. In certain circumstances, objects such
as high kerbs that could damage the bot-
tom of the vehicle are not detected either.
If the first warning from the Parking Aid is
●
ignored, the vehicle could suffer considera-
ble damage.
The knocks or damage on the radiator
●
grille, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle un-
derbody can adjust the orientation of the
sensors. This can affect the parking aid
function. Have the function checked by a
specialised workshop.
Note
In certain situations, the system can give
●
a warning even though there is no obstacle
in the detected area, e.g:
with rough or cobbled floors or ground
–
with long grass;
with external ultrasound sources, such
–
as cleaning vehicles or other vehicles;
In downpours, intense snow or dense
–
exhaust gases;
if the registration plate (front or rear) is
–
not properly affixed to the bumper sur-
face;
or in locations such as the brow of a
–
hill.
In order to guarantee good system oper-
●
ation, keep the ultrasound sensors clean,
free of snow or ice, and do not cover them
with adhesives or other objects.
If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
●
ment to clean the ultrasound sensors, ap-
ply it directly only very briefly and always
from a distance of more than 10 cm.
Retrofitting of accessories to the vehicle,
●
such as a bicycle rack, may interfere with
the operation of the Parking Aid.
In order to familiarise yourself with the
●
system, it is advised that you practice park-
ing in an area or car park that is free from
