WARNING
The intelligent technology of Auto Hold cannot overcome the natural laws of physics and it can only operate within the limits of the system. Do not allow the
increased convenience provided by Auto Hold to tempt you into taking risks.
Make sure the indicator light for the electronic parking brake in the instrument cluster display lights up if the vehicle is to be kept stationary.
Never exit the vehicle when the engine is running and Auto Hold is switched on.
In some situations, such as when the ground is slippery or icy, Auto Hold will not be able to keep the vehicle stationary on hills or brake it adequately
when going downhill.
NOTICE
Damage can result if the electronic parking brake switches on automatically in a car wash.
Always switch off Auto Hold before going through a car wash.

WARNING
The intelligent technology of the Park Distance Control (PDC) cannot overcome the natural laws of physics and it can only operate within the limits of the
system. Do not allow the increased convenience provided by the parking systems to tempt you into taking risks. The parking systems cannot replace the driver's
attention.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Always keep an eye on the parking direction and the vehicle surroundings. Pay particular attention to small children, animals and objects.
Bear in mind that the parking system may not be able to react if the vehicle approaches too quickly and no warning is issued.
Do not allow the parking system's display to distract you from the traffic around you.
WARNING
Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field of vision. Using the camera image to estimate the distance to people or obstacles may not be precise and can cause
accidents and serious injuries.
Do not rely on the camera system image.
NOTICE
In parking spaces without a curb, park at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from walls and buildings to reduce the risk of vehicle damage.
Sensor and camera boundaries
Various sensors and cameras that detect the vehicle surroundings ultrasonically, by radar waves, and visually are located on and in the vehicle. The various parking
systems use different combinations of sensors. All sensors have technical and physical limits ⇒
