normal volume if the vehicle approaches the detected obstacle
again.
Graphic display
The segments in the MMI display indicate the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle. The number of segments shown depends
on the obstacle in front of or behind the vehicle. The closer the
vehicle gets to the obstacle the closer the segments move towards
the vehicle in the graphic ⇒ page 141, fig. 155. At the latest when
the penultimate segment is highlighted the vehicle has reached the
danger (collision) zone. The driver should then not move back-
wards/forwards any further ⇒ .
The graphic display in the MMI screen ⇒ page 149 can be switched
off. The acoustic proximity warning will, however, remain activated.
The graphic display will be deactivated as soon as you press a func-
tion selector button on the MMI control console. The graphic
display in the MMI screen can also be switched on again manually
using the switch . For more information on the MMI control
console please refer to the MMI Operating Manual.
Reversing camera (Rear View)
The mirrored image of the picture supplied by the reversing camera
⇒ page 145, fig. 160 is shown in the MMI display. The picture
supplied by the reversing camera also includes orientation lines
and area markings which are projected onto the image to assist you
when parking ⇒ page 143. The red line in the picture ⇒ page 143,
fig. 156/⇒ page 143, fig. 157 shows the collision zone. From here at
the latest, the driver should not reverse any further ⇒ .
If your vehicle is near an obstacle, the proximity graphic will also
appear in the reversing camera image. This superimposed graphic
helps the driver to localise the critical area of the vehicle.

time you park the vehicle. The image of the reversing camera can

information on the MMI control console please refer to the MMI
Operating Manual.
WARNING
• The sensors have blind spots in which obstacles are not regis-
tered. It is particularly important to ensure that there are no small
children or animals near the vehicle, as the sensors may not
always be able to detect them.
• 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.
• 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 obsta-
cles (such as wire fences, chains, thin painted posts or trailer draw
bars, etc.) may not always be detected by the system (accident
risk).
Note
• There is a slight delay in the picture display.
• You can change the settings for the graphic display and the
reversing camera in the MMI ⇒ page 149.
