WARNING
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
■
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
■
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. For this reason, such people or
objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
■
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people not to be recog-
nised by the system.
You should satisfy yourself before reversing that there is no small obsta-
■
cle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your ve-
hicle. Such obstacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
Keep the system sensors in the bumpers clean, snow-and ice-free and do not
■
cover with any objects, otherwise the system functioning may be impaired.
The system function may be limited under adverse weather conditions
■
(heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high temperatures etc.).
Additionally installed modules such as bicycle carriers can impair the function
■
of the parking aid.

Acoustic signals and display
The interval between the acoustic signals becomes shorter as the clearance is
reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm - danger
area. From this moment on do not continue driving!
For information on setting the acoustic signals and a description of the Info-
tainment display, see » Infotainment manual, chapter Vehicle settings (button
CAR).
Towing a trailer
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted towing device, only the areas
and » Fig. 135 of the system are active when operating a trailer, there is no
B
road display.
Note
If not all fields around vehicles with Version 3 are shown after the system is
■
activated, the vehicle will need to be moved a few metres forwards or back-
wards.
The signal tones for front obstacle recognition are factory-set to be higher
■
than for rear obstacle recognition.
