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.
