Forwards
The warning signal has a constant acoustic signal at less than approx. 30 cm (1 foot) from an obstacle. The Parking Assistance System’s front detectors are activated automatically when the engine is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The measuring range is approx. 80 cm (2.5 feet) in front of the car.
Backwards
The warning signal has a constant tone at less than approx. 30 cm (1 foot) from an obstacle. The sensors for reverse are activated if the car rolls backward without a gear engaged or when the gear lever is moved to reverse position. The measuring range is approx. 1.5 metres (5 feet) behind the car. When reversing with a trailer connected to the car’s electrical system, parking assistance backward is deactivated automatically.
Along the sides
The warning signal pulses intensively at less than approx. 25 cm (0.8 foot) from an obstacle. Parking assistance side sensors are activated automatically when the engine is started. They are active at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). The measuring range is approx. 25 cm (0.8 foot) from the sides. However, the detection range of the side sensors increases significantly when the steering angle of the front wheels is increased, and obstacles of up to approx. 90 cm (3 feet) located diagonally behind or in front of the vehicle are detected when the steering wheel is turned.
Activating and deactivating the Parking Assistance System(Option/accessory)
Activate or deactivate the function with this button in the parking camera view.
- Illuminated button – the function is activated.
- Extinguished button – the function is deactivated.
In cars equipped with a park assist camera,(Option/accessory) Park Assist Pilot can also be activated or deactivated from the relevant camera view.
Limitations of park assist system(Option/accessory)
- The ability of the park assist cameras to clearly reproduce the surroundings in all zones around the car can be affected by the conditions during use.
- Pay particular attention if there are people and animals near the car.
- Bear in mind that the front of the car may swing out towards oncoming traffic during the parking manoeuvre.
- Objects/obstacles may be closer to the car than they appear to be on the screen.
Pay additional attention while reversing when this symbol is shown if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is mounted and electrically connected to the car. An extinguished symbol indicates that the parking assistance sensors rearward are switched off and warn of any obstacles.
The sensors cannot detect high objects, such as projecting loading docks.
- In such situations, pay extra attention and manoeuvre/reposition the car particularly slowly or stop the current parking manoeuvre – there may be a high risk of damage to vehicles or other objects since the information from the sensors is not always reliable in such situations.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust noises from motorcycles, etc.
