Ultrasound sensor signals may be affec-
with rough or cobbled floors or ground
with long grass;
ted by external sound sources. In certain
circumstances this may prevent them from
detecting people or objects.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
with external ultrasound sources, such
as cleaning vehicles or other vehicles
equipped with ultrasound systems;
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
●
Please note that low obstacles detected
by the system may no longer be registered
by the sensors as the car moves closer, so
the system will not give any further warn-
ing. In certain circumstances, objects such
as high kerbs that could damage the bot-
tom of the vehicle are not detected either.

The ultrasound sensors have blind spots
in downpours, intense snow, hail or
dense exhaust gases,
in which obstacles and people are not reg-
istered. Pay special attention to children
and animals.

Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
fected by different factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
grille, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle un-
derbody can adjust the orientation of the
sensors. This can affect the parking aid
function. In this case, have the function
checked by a specialised workshop.

If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment to clean the ultrasound sensors, ap-
ply it directly only very briefly and always
from a distance of more than 10 cm.

Under certain circumstances, the system
