Boot Lid Assist
The Boot Lid Assist is a function that has been
provided using the Park Distance Control
components. It has the task of monitoring the area
behind the car for obstacles that could block the
movement of the boot lid as it opens.
The space requirement for boot lid movement is
approx. 38cm. The Boot Lid Assist scans a range of
50cm.
Pressing the roof button activates the Boot Lid Assist
function in the Park Distance Control system. If the
system detects an obstacle, a constant tone sounds as
a warning and a message appears in the dash panel
insert display. The roof movement is interrupted. The
procedure can, however, be continued despite the
warning if you press the roof switch again.
Just before the boot lid is lowered into the sensor
scanning area, the Boot Lid Assist is deactivated as it
cannot distinguish between the boot lid and a real
obstacle. This means that if an obstacle appears after
this point in time, for example, another vehicle pulls
up close to the rear of the Eos while the boot is being
opened for the roof package, it cannot be detected by
the Boot Lid Assist.
