lowing situations:
▷ On bumpy road surfaces such as gravel
roads.

▷ On steep uphill or downhill grades.
▷ With accumulations of leaves/snow in the
parking space.
▷ In case of changes to an already-measured
parking space.
▷ With ditches or edges, for instance an edge
of a port.
Limits of ultrasonic measurement
The detection of objects with ultrasonic meas‐
urements can run into physical limits, e.g., in the
following situations:
▷ For small children and animals.
▷ For persons with certain clothing, for instance
coats.
▷ With external interference of the ultrasound,
for instance from passing vehicles or loud
machines.
▷ When sensors are dirty, iced over, damaged
or out of position.
▷ Under certain weather conditions, e.g., high
relative humidity, wet conditions, snowfall,
cold, extreme heat, or strong wind.
▷ With tow bars and trailer couplings of other
vehicles.
▷ With thin or wedge-shaped objects.
▷ With moving objects.
▷ With elevated, protruding objects such as
ledges.
▷ With objects with corners, edges, and
smooth surfaces.
▷ With objects with a fine surface structure
such as fences.
▷ For objects with porous surfaces.
▷ With small and low objects, for instance
boxes.
▷ With obstacles and persons at the edge of
the lane.
▷ With soft obstacles or obstacles covered in
foam material.
▷ With plants and bushes.
▷ Low objects already displayed, for instance
curbs, can move into the blind area of the
sensors before or after a continuous tone
sounds.
▷ Cargo that extends beyond the perimeter of
the vehicle is not taken into account by the
system.

Reversing Assistant
Concept
The system supports the driver when driving in
reverse, for instance when driving out of tight or
confusing parking or street situations.
The vehicle stores the driving movements of the
last route. This stored route can be driven back
with automated steering.
The system takes control of the steering when
driving in reverse along the stored route.
The driver controls driving the vehicle via accel‐
erator pedal and brake.
