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
Performance of the system can be
reduced when sensors are covered, e.g.
by ice or snow.
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.
Note
It is possible that the sensor detects a non-
existing object caused by echo disturbance
from external acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false warnings may
occur).
Make sure that the front number plate is
properly mounted (not bent and no gaps to
the bumper on the left or right side) and the
sensors are firmly in place.
Advanced parking assist system may not
respond to changes in the available parking
space after initiating a parking manoeuvre.
The system may recognize an entry, a
gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as
a parking slot. After selecting reverse gear
the system will start a parking manoeuvre.
Take care regarding the availability of the
suggested parking slot.
Surface irregularities, e.g. on construction
zones, are not detected by the system. The
driver accepts responsibility.

Side blind spot alert

The side blind spot alert system detects
and reports objects on either side of the
vehicle, within a specified blind spot
zone. The system displays a visual alert
in each exterior mirror, when detecting
objects that may not be visible in the
interior and exterior mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors which
are located in the front and rear bumper
on both sides of the vehicle.
