tions, powder snow, clothing made from fabric,
Lack of attention
hide or fur).
– Sound-reflecting obstacles (e.g. glass surfaces,
flat enameled surfaces).
– Very thin obstacles (e.g. thin posts).
– External ultrasound waves (e.g. air brakes from
other vehicles, road sweeping machines, pneu-
matic hammers) can interfere with obstacle
detection.
– Obstacles, if the sensors or cameras are very
dirty or covered, e.g. by dust, dirt, snow or ice.
Functions
Restricted detection
ranges of sensors
ParkAssist visually and audibly indicates to the driver
the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle
during parking and maneuvering.
ParkAssist's visual parking assistance is displayed on
the central display. Obstacles located in front of and
behind the vehicle are indicated by means of differ-
ent colored fields on the display. These fields show
the contour of the obstacles as well as their distance
from the vehicle.

Distance measurement
Fig. 114: Ultrasound sensors for distance measurement
The ultrasound sensors A in the front and rear
bumpers measure the distance to the nearest ob-
stacle. A detected obstacle is reported by an inter-
mittent tone. The intervals shorten as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle. When the distance is less
than approx. 12 in. (30 cm), a continuous tone
sounds.
Obstacles above and below the sensors cannot be
detected.
You can adjust the volume of the warning tones in
the central display.
