Parking assist
Ultrasonic parking assist
Parking assist makes parking easier
by measuring the distance between
the vehicle and rear obstacles, and
giving an acoustic signal in the
passenger compartment. It is the
driver, however, who maintains full
responsibility for parking. The system
consists of four ultrasonic parking
sensors in the rear bumper.
Note
Attached parts in the detection area
cause system malfunction.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is activated automatically. An
obstacle is indicated by audio signals.
The interval between the signals
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 40 cm, the signal
sounds continued.
9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause
the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Deactivation
Deactivated in drive, Park or if there
is an error.
The system might not detect the
obstacle when the vehicle is driven
above a 10 km/h.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
r illuminates. Additionally if the
system does not work due to
temporary conditions like snow
covered sensors, r illuminates.
Caution
The parking assist system should
only be considered as a
supplementary function. The
driver must check the rear.
The audible warning signal can be
different depending on the objects.
The audible warning signal might
not activate in case the sensor is
frozen or stained with dirt or mud.
Do not push or scratch the surface
of the sensor. This will likely
damage the covering.
There is a chance of malfunction
of the parking assist system when
driving on uneven surfaces such
as woods, gravel roads, jagged
roads or slopes.
