Sensors in the bumper
Sensors are locat ed in the rear bumpe rs. If
these detect an obstacle, audible and visual
signals warn you . The range at which the sen-
sors begin to measure is approx imately:
To the side
2
ft
(0 .60
m)
Center rear
5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Distance warn ing when reversing starts whe n
an obstacle is detected in the range of the
parking assist system . As the distance de-
creases, the time interval between the audible
tones becomes shorter.
When the distance is less than 1ft (0 .30 m),
t he tone becomes continuous. At t his point
you should stop backing up.
If t he distance to an obstacle stays the same,
the volume of the dista nce signal chime is
gradually reduced after about 4 seconds (does
not affect the contin uous signa l tone) . Ap-
proaching another obstacle will cause the dis-
tance signal to sound again at the normal vol-
ume.
Rear view camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by
the rear view camera
c:>
fig. 130 (D .
Objects
that are not in the area covered @ are not
shown on the MMI display .
We recommend that you practice parking with
the rear view camera in a traffic-free location
or parking lot to become familiar with the sys-
tem, the or ientation lines, and the ir function.
When doing this, there should be good light
and weathe r conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- you are driving in reverse gear from a level
surface onto an incline , or a downward
slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear toward pro-
trud ing obj ects,
- the vehicle is carrying too much load in the
rear.
