show it. Therefore, it will not warn you of
these objects. Ignoring the warnings of the
parking sensor system could cause consider-
able damage to the vehicle.
The bumper sensors may become damaged
●
or misaligned, for example, when parking.
To ensure that the system works properly,
●
the bumper sensors must be kept clean, free
of ice and snow and uncovered.
When cleaning the sensors with high-pres-
●
sure or steam cleaning equipment, spray the
sensors briefly at a distance of no less than
10 cm (4 inches).
Note
Acoustic sources may lead to erroneous warn-
ings on the parking sensor system, e.g.
rough tarmac, cobbles or the noise of other
vehicles.

The parking sensor system assists the driver

Things to note regarding the parking sensor
system
● The parking sensor system sometimes reg-

seconds. If the continuous signal sounds, the
volume will remain constant.
When the vehicle moves away from the ob-
●
stacle, the beeping sound automatically
switches off. On approaching the obstacle
again, the beeping sound will automatically
switch back on.
● If the electronic parking brake is engaged
or the selector lever is set to P, no audible
warning will be emitted.
● Your technical service centre can adjust the
volume of the warning signals.
