WARNING
Always pay attention, by looking directly,
●
to traffic and the area around the vehicle.
Assistance systems are not a replacement
for driver awareness. Responsibility always
lies with the driver.
The sensors have blind spots in which ob-
●
stacles and people are not detected. Pay
special attention to children and animals.
Always keep visual control of the sur-
●
roundings: use the mirrors for additional
help.

CAUTION
Parking distance warning system functions
can be affected by different factors that
can cause damage:
Under certain circumstances, the system
●
does not detect or display certain objects:
Chains, trailer draw bars, bars, fences,
–
posts and thin trees.
285. It is an as-
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-
288. This is an
der snow.
Certain surfaces of objects and gar-
●
ments do not reflect the ultrasound sen-
sors' signals. The system cannot detect
these objects or people wearing such
clothes correctly.
Sensor signals may be affected by exter-
●
nal sound sources. This may prevent them
from detecting people or objects.
If the system warns you of the proximity
●
of a low obstacle, please note that after
being detected by the system, the obstacle
in question may disappear from the meas-
urement sensors as the vehicle moves clos-
er, and the system will no longer warn of its
presence. In certain circumstances, ob-
jects such as high kerbs that could damage
the underside of the vehicle are not detec-
ted.
Driving
If the parking distance warning system is
●
ignored, the vehicle could suffer considera-
ble damage.
Damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
●
wheel arch and vehicle underbody can
modify the orientation of the sensors. This
can affect the parking aid function. Have
the function checked by a specialised
workshop.
A number plate or number plate holder
●
with dimensions that exceed the space for
the number plate, or a cured or deformed
number plate can cause false detections or
a loss of visibility for the sensors.
Note
The display on the Infotainment system
●
screen shows a slight time delay.
In certain situations, the system can give
●
a warning even though there is no obstacle
in the detected area:
Rough or cobbled surfaces or surfaces
–
with long grass.
External ultrasound sources, such as
–
other vehicles equipped with ultra-
sound systems.
Heavy rain or snow, hail or dense ex-
–
haust gases.
If the number plate is not properly se-
–
cured to the surface of the bumper.
Gradient changes.
