Surrounding area
detection
The wheel sensors on the rear corners of the ve-
hicle are positioned so that the adjacent lanes to
the left and right are detected on roads with a
normal lane width.
Sensor and camera coverage areas
Ultrasonic sensors
Depending on vehicle equipment, various areas
may be displayed in the MMI using the ultrasonic
sensors ðfig. 107.
The range of the displays depends on the location
of the ultrasonic sensors:

Approximately 3 feet (0.90 m)
Approximately 5.2 feet (1.60 m)
Approximately 3 feet (0.90 m)
Approximately 3 feet (0.90 m)
The side area 6 is detected and evaluated when
passing. There may have been changes to the sur-
rounding area after turning off the ignition and
on again, after opening the doors, or if the vehi-
cle is left stationary for a period of time. In this
case, the area will appear black until the area has
been detected and evaluated.

Cameras
Use the camera image in the display to assist you
only if it shows a good, clear picture. Keep in
mind that the image in the display is enlarged
and distorted. Under certain circumstances, ob-
jects may appear different and unclear in the dis-
play.

The assist systems analyze the data from various
sensors and cameras installed in the vehicle. Do
not use any assist systems if there is damage in
the area of the sensors and cameras or on the ve-
hicle underbody. Damage can impair the function
of the sensors and cameras or cause malfunc-
played on the center display ð
