4.3 Parking aid

Warning note

–

To avoid injury, always take care when reversing (R)

and using the sensor system.

–

The system may fail to detect objects with surfaces

that absorb reflections. Always drive with due care

and attention.

–

Traffic control systems, bad weather, air brakes,

external motors and fans may affect the proper

operation of the sensor system. This may result in

poor performance or false alarms.

–

The system may fail to detect small or moving objects,

especially those near the ground.

Changing the tyre diameter or wheel offset may

reduce the performance of the active parking aid,

and/or the function may not work properly, resulting

in injury.

–

Do not use the system if there are any objects that

extend beyond the front and rear ends of the vehicle,

such as bicycle carrier accessories. The system will not

be able to correct the extra overhangs.

You must remain in your vehicle when the system

switches on. It is your responsibility at all times to

check your vehicle, monitor the system and intervene

if necessary. Failure to exercise due care may result in

loss of control of your vehicle and serious personal

injury.

–

The sensors may fail to detect objects in heavy rain or

other conditions that cause interference.

You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all

times. The system is designed as an aid and does not

relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due

care and attention. Failure to follow this instruction

may result in loss of control of your vehicle and

personal injury.

Information

–

Keep the sensors clear of snow, ice, and large

accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are covered, the

accuracy of the system may be adversely affected. Do

not clean the sensors with sharp objects.

–

If your vehicle has damage to the bumper or radiator

grille that causes the bumper or radiator grille to be

misaligned or bent, the detection range may be

altered, resulting in inaccurate measurement of

obstacles or false warnings.

–

Certain additional devices installed around the

bumper or trim can create false alarms. For example,

large ball couplings, bicycle or surfboard racks,

number plate holders, bumper covers, or other

devices that may block the system’s normal detection

zone. Remove the additional device to avoid false

alarms.

–

The parking aid warns the driver of obstacles that are

in a specific range of your vehicle. The system switches

on automatically when you turn on the ignition. The

system can be turned off using the following methods:

-

Via the information display menu

-

Via the pop-up notice that is displayed as soon as you

engage reverse gear (R)

-

Via the parking aid button (if present)

–

If there is a fault in the system, a driver message

appears in the information display. For more

information on correct operation of the parking aid,

refer to the operating manual for the vehicle.

If possible, parking aid senders should not be removed

from their original X, Y, and Z plane positions.

Maintaining the sensor position on these planes is

important for proper operation of the system.
