The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking . If the vehicle is approaching an obsta­
cle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors ,
an intermittent acoustic warning is sounded , de­
pending on the distance . The shorter the distance ,
the shorter the intervals . The acoustic warning will
sound continuously if the obstacle is very close .
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound waves. The system uses
the time difference between the ultrason ic waves
(i.e. between the transmission and reflection from
obstacles and the point of reception) to continu­
ously calculate the distance between the bumper
and the obstacle.

A WARNING
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen­
tration of the driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec­
ted '--.
A WARNING (Continued) ~-
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound
sensors. The system is unable to detect
these objects or people wearing this type of
clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly.
• External sources of sound can affect the
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain
circumstances, the system may not recog­
nise people or objects.
A WARNING ~-.
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc­
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate
driving style can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
• Always bear in mind the time delay be­
tween the signals.
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or
opening tailgates. This can result in damage to
your vehicle.
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered.
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam­
age if the warning given by the ParkPilot is ig­
nored.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g.
when parking.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers
must be kept clean and free of ice and snow
and not be covered up by stickers or other
items, as these may prevent the system from
working properly.
