tomatically when a trailer is being

lamp switches off, the system is re-
activated.
Press button A , the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-

signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph

(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the reversing
audible signal. If an operating fault occurs, this
warning lamp is displayed on
