WARNING
The system does not exempt the driver from his/her responsibility for park-
■
ing in and manoeuvring out of the parking space.
External sound sources can have a detrimental effect on parking in and ma-
■
noeuvring out of the parking space. Under adverse conditions, this can cause
objects or people to not be recognized by the system.
When parking in, and manoeuvring out of parking spaces, the system auto-
■
matically executes quick steering movements. While it is doing so, do not
place your hands between the steering wheel – risk of injury!
When parking or leaving a parking space on loose or slippery surfaces (grav-
■
el, snow, ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road because of the sur-
face conditions. Therefore we suggest that you do not use the system in such
situations.
CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind the kerb or on it, the system can also guide
■
your vehicle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the wheel rims
of your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such as
■
wire mesh fences or powder snow cannot be recognised by the system.
The system function may be limited under adverse weather conditions (heavy
■
rain, water vapour, very low or high temperatures etc.).
The evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure depends on the
■
circumference of the wheels on the vehicle. The system only works correctly if
the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size approved by the manufacturer.
If wheels other than those approved by the manufacturer are mounted, the re-
■
sulting position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This can be
avoided by readjusting the system at a specialist garage.
Under certain circumstances, the system may not function correctly, for exam-
■
ple, if the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or a temporary spare wheel.
