Notice
The parking assist system
automatically detects factory-fitted
towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
It is possible that the sensor detects
a non-existing object (echo
disturbance) caused by external
acoustical or mechanic
disturbances.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
parking space after initiating a
parallel parking manoeuvre.
Notice
After production, the system
requires a calibration. For optimal
parking guidance, a driving distance
of at least 22 miles, including a
number of bends, is required.
Side blind spot alert
The side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system alerts
visually in each exterior mirror, when
detecting objects that may not be
visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
The system's sensors are located in
the bumper on the left and right side
of the vehicle.
9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind
zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects a vehicle in
the side blind zone while driving
forwards, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, the yellow
warning symbol
B
will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn signal,
the warning symbol
B
starts flashing
yellow as a warning not to change
lanes.
