Technical description
Example 3 (see fig. 8, page 5)
For diagonal obstacles, the shortest distance A is signalled.
Example 4 (see fig. 9, page 6)
In this case, MagicWatch displays the distance A. As the vehicle approaches
the audible indicator goes over to the stop zone, and as it approaches further,
the distance A goes into the blind spot, so that MagicWatch signals the dis-
tance from point B.
Caution!
As these examples show, situations can arise where the device
fails to display an object or does not display the shortest distance.
The device does not relieve you of your obligation to take special
care when reversing. Therefore, always be extremely careful
when reversing.
If an object enters the blind spot of the sensors, MagicWatch auto-
matically shows the distance to the next object. This means the
speaker changes from fast to medium beeps and the numerical dis-
play shows a different distance.
In this case, always stop the vehicle immediately and check the sit-
uation.
The DSM function ensures that objects attached to the vehicle (such as
trailer couplings) are not classified as obstacles. As a rule they do not pro-
trude more than 0.4 m over the sensors. They are therefore in the close area
(zone 4) of up to 0.4 m, in which MagicWatch gives a stop warning and where
you should stop (see the "Testing functions" on page 40 section).
Caution!
If loads or objects on the vehicle protrude over the close area of 0.4
m, there is a danger of accidents. An obstacle can collide with the
load or the object before it is detected by the sensors in the close
area and MagicWatch gives a stop warning (see fig. 11, page 6).
