Parking assistance (option)
Parking assistance front and rear
General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to
parking. A signal indicates the distance to a
detected object.
The frequency of the signal increases as you
1
come closer to an object in front of or
behind the car.
The tone becomes constant at a distance of
about 30 cm. If there are objects within this
distance both behind and in front
the signal alternates between front and rear
speakers.
1. Provided that the parking assistance
is mounted both front and rear.
If the volume of another sound source from
the audio system is high, this is automatically
lowered.
The system is always active when the car is
started and the text message "Park Assist
active Exit to deactivate" appears on the
audio display.
WARNING!
Parking assistance does not relinquish the
driver's own responsibility during parking.
The sensors have blind spots where
objects cannot be detected. Be aware of
children and animals near the car.
Front parking assistance
The distance covered to the front of the car is
about 0.8 m.
Front parking assistance cannot be
combined with extra lights because the
sensors are affected by the extra lights.

The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 m.
