Using the parking aid
Switching the parking aid on and off
Note: The parking aid switches off automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph).
Note: The front and rear sensors are always activated or deactivated together.
The parking aid is per default off. To switch the parking aid on, press the switch in the instrument panel or select reverse gear.
The light in the switch illuminates when the parking aid is activated.
To turn it off, press the switch again.
Manoeuvring with the parking aid
Note: If a high pitch warning tone sounds for three seconds and the light in the switch is flashing, it indicates a malfunction. The system will be disabled.
Have the system checked by properly trained technicians.
You will hear an intermittent tone at a distance of up to approximately 150 centimetres (59 inches) between the obstacle and rear bumper, 80 centimetres (31 inches) between the obstacle and front bumper and 50 centimetres (20 inches) to the side. Decreasing the distance accelerates the intermittent tone.
A continuous tone will start at a distance of less than 30 centimetres (12 inches).
You will hear an alternating tone from the front and rear if obstacles are closer than 30 centimetres (12 inches) to the front and rear bumpers.
