GENERAL WARNINGS
When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles
that may be above or below the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, objects close to the
vehicle are not detected by the system and could
therefore cause damage to the car or be damaged
themselves.
Some conditions may influence the performance of
the parking sensors:
❒the presence of ice, snow, mud or think paint on
the sensor surface may cause reduced sensitivity
of the sensor itself and therefore reduce the
system performance.
❒mechanical interference (e.g. washing the car, rain,
strong wind, hail) may cause the sensor to detect a
non-existent obstacle ("echo interference");
❒the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic drills) near
the car could alter the signals sent by the sensor;
❒the variation in sensor position, caused by
variation in ride (due to suspension component
wear), changing tyres, overloaded car, or tuning
that lowers the car, for example, may affect
parking sensor system performance.
WARNING
The driver is always responsible for
parking manoeuvres however.When
making these manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially children) or animals
are present in your manoeuvring area.The
parking sensors are an aid for the driver, but
must never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds.
