cle. If the problem persists, consult a qualified

Function of the passive side impact protection
Passive side impact protection is an additional
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC function which warns
the driver about obstacles at the side of the vehi-
cle. A warning is issued when obstacles are
detected between the front and rear detection
range. In order for an object on the side to be
detected, the sensors in the front and rear
bumper must first detect the object while you are
driving past it.
During the parking procedure or manoeuvring,
objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If
you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle
and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning
is issued and the segments light up in colour in
the display.
The segment colour changes depending on the
distance to the detected obstacle:
R
Yellow: approximately 30 - 60 cm
R
Red: less than approximately 30 cm
In order for lateral, front or rear segments to be
displayed, the vehicle must first travel a distance
of at least half a vehicle's length. Once the vehicle
has travelled the length of the vehicle, all of the
lateral front and rear segments can be displayed.
