OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieveyou of your responsibility todrive with due care and attention.
CAUTIONS
The sensors may not detectobjects in heavy rain or otherconditions that cause disruptivereflections.
The sensors may not detectobjects with surfaces that absorbultrasonic waves.
The sensors may not detectobjects that are close to thevehicle (approximately 30centimetres [11 inches] to the rearand above or below the sensors).
If you use a high pressure sprayto wash your vehicle, only spraythe sensors briefly from a distancenot less than 20 centimetres (8inches).
Note:The parking aid may emit falsetones if it detects a signal using thesame frequency as the sensors or ifthe vehicle is fully laden.
Note:The outer sensors may detectthe side walls of a garage. If thedistance between the outer sensorand the side wall remains constantfor three seconds, the tone willswitch off. As you continue, the innersensors will detect rearward objects.
USING THE PARKING AID
Note:Keep the sensors free fromdirt, ice and snow. Do not clean withsharp objects.
Switching the parking aidon and off
Note:The parking aid switches offautomatically when you start theengine or when you exceed 16 km/h(10 mph).
Note:Vehicles fitted with a trailertow module not approved by us maynot correctly detect obstacles.
Note:On vehicles fitted with a towball arm, the rear sensors aredeactivated automatically when anytrailer lamps (or lighting boards) areconnected to the 13-pin socket via atrailer tow module we haveapproved. On vehicles fitted with atrailer tow module not approved byus, you have to switch the parkingaid off using the switch.
Note:The front and rear sensors arealways activated or deactivatedtogether.
Note:On vehicles fitted withautomatic transmission, the parkingaid will not operate in position P.

CAUTIONS
The parking aid does not detectobstacles moving away from thevehicle. They will only be detectedshortly after they start to movetowards the vehicle again.
Take particular care whenreversing with a tow ball arm orrear fitted accessories e.g. a bicyclecarrier, as the rear parking aid will onlyindicate the distance from thebumper to the obstacle.
Note:If a high pitch warning tonesounds for three seconds and thelight in the switch is flashing, itindicates a malfunction. The systemwill be disabled. Have the systemchecked by properly trainedtechnicians.
You will hear an intermittent tone ata distance of up to 180 centimetres(71 inches) between the obstacle andrear bumper, 80 centimetres (31inches) between the obstacle andfront bumper and 60 centimetres (24inches) to the side. Decreasing thedistance accelerates the intermittenttone. A continuous tone will start ata distance of less than 30centimetres (11 inches).
You will hear an alternating tone fromthe front and rear if obstacles arecloser than 30 centimetres (11 inches)to the front and rear bumpers.
