WARNING
• The parking aid cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking
and other manoeuvres.
• Always keep a close watch on the area around the vehicle and
make full use of the rear-view mirrors.
• Do not allow the camera images in the MMI display to distract
you from watching the traffic.
• For safety reasons, you should not use the system if the posi-
tion and installation angle of the camera have been changed, e.g.
in a rear-end collision. Have it checked by a qualified workshop.
Caution
• Please note that low obstacles detected by the system may no
longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning. Certain kinds of obstacles
(such as wire fences, chains, thin painted posts or trailer draw bars,
etc.) may not always be detected by the system, so take care not to
damage the vehicle in such cases.
• Never remove snow and ice from the lens of the reversing
camera using warm or hot water - danger of cracks appearing on the
lens.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the lens.
