PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.
CAUTIONS
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again. Take particular care when reversing
with a tow ball arm or rear fitted
accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as
the rear parking aid will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle. If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Note:On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the parking aid is deactivated automatically when any trailer lamps (orlighting boards) are connected to the13-pin socket via a trailer tow module wehave approved.
Note:Keep the sensors free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note:The parking aid may emit false
tones if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if the vehicleis fully laden.
Note:The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensor and the sidewall remains constant for three seconds,the tone will switch off. As you continue,the inner sensors will detect rearwardobjects.
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.

Note:If a high pitch warning tone sounds
for three seconds and the light in the switch is flashing, it indicates amalfunction. The system will be disabled.Have the system checked by properlytrained 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.

CAUTIONS
Marks are for general guidance only,
and are calculated for vehicles in
maximum load conditions on an even
road surface. The lines show a projected vehicle path
(based on the current steering wheel
angle) and the distance from the exterior
mirrors and rear bumper.

Deactivating the rear view
camera
Note:
Disengage reverse gear. The
display will stay on for a short period before switching off.
The system will automatically switch off
once the vehicle speed has reached
approximately 15 km/h (9 mph).
Vehicles with parking aid
The display will additionally show a
coloured distance bar. This guide
indicates the distance from the rear
bumper to the detected obstacle.
These are colour coded as follows:
• Green - 0.8 to 1.5 metres (31 to 59
inches).
• Amber - 0.3 to 0.8 metre (12 to 31
inches).
• Red - 0.3 metre (12 inches) or less.
