Driving and operating
Colour Info Display: Deactivate the
parking assist in the vehicle
personalisation 3 107.
System limitations
In the event of a fault or if the system
does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, C
illuminates in the Driver Information
Centre. A message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre and a
warning chime sounds.
In the case of a permanent fault, seek
the assistance of a workshop.
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.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
In the case of a severe failure of
the vehicle with the need to stop
the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
In the case of a gearbox failure,
the parking assist system is not
active, when reverse gear is
engaged.
In the case of a loudspeaker
failure, the audible signals may not
be given.
Performance of the system can be
reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
If a sensor is covered, a message
is displayed indicating that the
sensors have to be cleaned.
Performance of the parking assist
system may be limited or the
functionality may not be available
at all if C illuminates or if the
image shown on the Info Display
is frozen or if the screen is black.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and
correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range, e.g. below the
bumper or underneath the vehicle.
During a reverse parking
manoeuvre, the system does not
consider a mounted coupling ball
bar. The driver has to consider this
additional length.
