When moving close to an obstacle, it is possible

to know if the obstacle is in front of the vehicle

or behind it according to the sound frequency.

Error messages

●

If the problem persists, consult a specialised

workshop.

If a an error or fault message is displayed on

the instrument cluster in Park Assist, there is a

fault.

The approximate measurement range of the

sensors is:

(Park Pilot)

If the fault doesn't disappear before discon-

necting the ignition, it will not be indicated next

time the parking aid is connected.

1.20 m

1.60 m

Description

If a rear sensor is faulty, only the obstacles in

the front area are detected. If a front sensor is

faulty, only the obstacles in the rear area are

displayed. The symbol is displayed.

0.90 m

As you approach the obstacle, the frequency of

the audible signals will increase. The signal will

sound continuously at around 0.30 m: Stop the

vehicle!

We recommend taking the vehicle to a special-

ised workshop to have the fault repaired.

If the separation is maintained, the warning vol-

ume is reduced after about 4 seconds.

Trailer mode

In order to view the entire periphery of the vehi-

cle, the vehicle must be moved a few metres

forwards or backwards. Therefore, the missing

areas are screened and obstacles at the sides
