Display screen view - showing an obstacle left front and
right rear.
The centre console's display screen shows an
overview of the relationship between the car and
detected obstacle.
Marked sectors show which of the four sensor(s)
detected an obstacle. The closer to the car sym-
bol a selected sector box is, the shorter the dis-
tance between the car and a detected obstacle.
The frequency of the signal increases the shorter
the distance to an obstacle, in front of or behind
the car. Other sound from the audio system is
muted automatically.
When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is
constant and the active sensor's field nearest the
car is filled in. If the detected obstacle is within
the distance for the constant tone both behind
and in front of the car, then the tone sounds
alternately from the loudspeakers.
IMPORTANT
Objects e.g. chains, thin glossy poles or low
barriers may be in the "signal shadow" and
are then temporarily not detected by the sen-
sors - the pulsating tone may then unexpect-
edly stop instead of changing over to the
expected constant tone.
The sensors cannot detect high objects, such
as projecting loading docks.
•
In such situations, pay extra attention and
manoeuvre/reposition the car particularly
slowly or stop the current parking
manoeuvre - there may be a high risk of
damage to vehicles or other objects since
information from the sensors is not
always reliable in such situations.

Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the
centre console's screen indicate the distance to
the detected obstacle.
The distance covered to the rear of the car is
about 1.5 metres. The acoustic signal for obsta-
cles behind comes from one of the rear loud-
speakers.
Rear parking assistance is activated when
reverse gear is engaged.
When reversing with e.g. a trailer on the towbar,
rear parking assistance is switched off automati-
cally - otherwise the sensors would react to the
trailer.
