Important hints for using the
ultrasonic parking assist
systems
9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause
the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper. If
such obstacles leave the detection
area of the sensors during
approach of the vehicle, a
continuous warning tone will
sound.
Caution
Performance of the ultrasonic
parking assist systems can be
reduced due to heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross section, like objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Ultrasonic parking assist will not
avoid a collision with objects which
are out of the detection range of
the sensors.
Rear view camera
9 Warning
The rear view camera system
does not display pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals or any other
object located outside the
camera's field of view, below the
bumper or under the vehicle.
Do not back the vehicle using only
the rear view camera screen or by
using the screen during longer,
higher speed backing
manoeuvres or where there could
be cross-traffic. Perceived
distances may be different from
actual distances.
Failure to use proper care before
backing may result in injury, death
or vehicle damage. Always check
before backing by checking
behind and around the vehicle.
The rear view camera system can
assist the driver when backing up by
displaying a view of the area behind
the vehicle.
