You will hear an intermittent tone at a
distance of up to 180 centimetres
between the obstacle and rear bumper
and 60 centimetres to the side.
Decreasing the distance accelerates the
intermittent tone. A continuous tone will
start at a distance of less than 30
centimetres.
Note: If a high pitch tone is heard for
three seconds, this indicates a
malfunction. The system will switch off
automatically if it malfunctions. Have this
checked as soon as possible.
USING THE PARKING AID -
FRONT AND REAR PARKING
AID
Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp
objects.
Switching the parking aid on
and off
Note: The parking aid switches off
automatically when you start the engine
or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph).
Note: Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
Note: On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the rear sensors are deactivated
automatically when any trailer lamps (or
lighting boards) are connected to the
13-pin socket via a trailer tow module we
have approved. On vehicles fitted with a
trailer tow module not approved by us,
you have to switch the parking aid off
using the switch.
Note: The front and rear sensors are
always activated or deactivated together.
Note: On vehicles fitted with automatic
transmission, the parking aid will not
operate in position P.
Parking aid
The parking aid is per default off. To
switch the parking aid on, press the switch
in the instrument panel or select reverse
gear.
The light in the switch illuminates when
the parking aid is activated.
To turn it off, press the switch again.
Manoeuvring with the parking
aid
E72902
The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again.
Take particular care when reversing
with a tow ball arm or rear fitted
accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as
the rear parking aid will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle.
Note: If a high pitch warning tone sounds
for three seconds and the light in the
switch is flashing, it indicates a
malfunction. The system will be disabled.
Have the system checked by properly
trained technicians.
