166 Driving and operating
Notice
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted, vertically
and horizontally centred and the
sensors are firmly in place. The
performance of the parking assist
will be reduced if the license plate is
bent or a license plate support is
used.
9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause
the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be
reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and
correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Side blind spot alert
The side blind spot alert system
detects and warns of vehicles
approaching from the rear in
neighbouring lanes up to 75 m or of
another vehicle in the blind spot of the
vehicle.
The system displays a visual alert in
each exterior mirror when detecting
objects that may not be visible in the
interior and exterior mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses two radar
sensors located in the rear bumper on
each side of the vehicle.
9 Warning
Damage or scratches on the
vehicle surface near the radar
sensors may affect the
performance of the system. This
can cause wrong warnings or the
loss of warnings.
Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
