General safety instructions
WARNING
Lack of attention
The system must not induce you to take risks with
your safety. The driver is always responsible for tak-
ing due care. The system is no substitute for the
driver's attentiveness.
e Make sure that no persons, animals, or obstacles
are within maneuvering range of the vehicle.
e
When maneuvering, stop the vehicle if there are
persons or animals in the red area.
WARNING
Restricted detection
ranges of sensors
Sensors do not cover all parts of the surrounding
area. Persons, animals and obstacles may not be
detected in this area or may only be detected to a
limited extent. There is a risk of injury and damage.
e Always check the traffic situation and the area
around the vehicle.
CAUTION
Adverse environmental
conditions
In the event of adverse environmental conditions,
the system will be restricted or not available: There is
a risk of injuries and damage.
e
Only use the system in suitable environmental
conditions.
e Adapt your driving style to the visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
System limitations
External ultrasound waves (e.g. air brakes from other
vehicles, road sweeping machines, pneumatic ham-
mers) can interfere with obstacle detection.
The system cannot detect the following:
– Sound-absorbing obstacles (e.g. wintery condi-
tions, powder snow, clothing made from fabric,
hide or fur).
– Sound-reflecting obstacles (e.g. glass surfaces,
flat enameled surfaces).
– Very thin obstacles (e.g. thin posts).
– Obstacles, if the sensors or cameras are very
dirty or covered, e.g. by dust, dirt, snow or ice.
Functions
ParkAssist visually and audibly indicates to the driver
the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle
during parking and maneuvering.
Obstacles located in front of and behind the vehicle
are indicated by means of different colored fields in
the PCM. These fields show the contour of the ob-
stacles as well as their distance from the vehicle.
Distance measurement
Fig. 136: Ultrasound sensors for distance measurement
The ultrasound sensors A in the rear and front
bumpers measure the distance to the nearest ob-
stacle. A detected obstacle is reported by an inter-
mittent tone . The intervals shorten as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle. When the distance is less
than approx. 12 in. (30 cm), a continuous tone
sounds.
Obstacles above and below the sensors cannot be
detected.
You can adjust the volume of the warning tones in
the PCM.
