D- Rear display – left monitoring areaIf ParkAssist is activated, the green light seg-
ments of the active warning indicators are lit up
continuously.
If the vehicle approaches an obstacle that has
been detected by the sensors, one or more of the
yellow or red light segments lights up, depending
on the distance to the obstacle.If the first yellow light segment lights up, the ob-
stacle is still 48 in. or 120 cm (to the front) or
48 in. to 59 in. or 120 to 150 cm (to the rear)
away.
A brief signal tone sounds when reversing.
Anintermittent tone sounds when the distance
becomes less than approx. 24 in. or 60 cm. The
fourth yellow light segment lights up.

comes less than approx. 10 in. or 25 cm (on vehi-
cles with trailer coupling: approx. 14 in. or
