CONTROLS
– With objects with a fine surface struc-
ture such as fences.
– For objects with porous surfaces.
– Low objects already displayed, for in-
stance curbs, can move into the blind

tinuous tone sounds.
Unwarranted warnings
The system may issue a warning under the
following conditions even though there is
no obstacle within the detection range:
– In heavy rain.
– When sensors are very contaminated or
covered with ice.
– When sensors are covered in snow.
– On rough road surfaces.
– On uneven surfaces, such as speed
bumps.
– In large buildings with right angles and
smooth walls, for instance in under-
ground garages.
– In automatic car washes.
– Due to heavy exhaust.
– Due to other ultrasound sources, for in-
stance sweeping machines, steam clean-
ers or neon lights.
The malfunction is signaled by a contin-
uous tone alternating between the front
and rear speakers. As soon as the mal-
function due to other ultrasound sources
is no longer present, the system is again
fully functional.
With front Park Distance Control: to reduce
unwarranted warnings, switch off automatic
Park Distance Control activation on obsta-
cle detection, for instance in car washes,
see Switching on/off.

Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment in as-
sessing the traffic situation. Based on the
limits of the system, it cannot independ-
ently react to all traffic situations. There is
a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to
traffic conditions. Check surrounding traf-
fic and vehicle's surroundings closely and
actively intervene where appropriate.
