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

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.

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 activated when the car
is started.

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.
