Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind and in
front of the vehicle. Depending on
which side the vehicle is closer to an
obstacle, you respectively will hear
acoustic warning signals in the
vehicle. The interval between the
sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to that obstacle.
When the distance is less than about
30 cm, the sound is continuous.
Additionally the distance to obstacles
is shown in the Driver Information
Centre.
The distance indication in the Driver
Information Centre can be inhibited
by vehicle messages with a higher
priority. After approving the message
by pressing the SET/CLR button on
the turn signal lever, distance
indication appears again.

The system is deactivated
automatically when exceeding a
certain speed while driving forward.
Manual deactivation is also possible
by pressing the parking assist button

When the system is deactivated, the
LED in the button extinguishes and
Park Assist Off pops up in the Driver
Information Centre.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system or
if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions like snow
covered sensors, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
