Driving and operating117
System operation
The parking assist is turned on
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
The intervals between the beeps
become shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm, the beeping is a continuous tone whichstops immediately when the distance
is increased.
Fault In the event of a fault in the system,
r illuminates and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre 3 79.
The following conditions could affect
the system's performance:
■ The ultrasonic sensors are not clean. Keep the bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
■ The sensors are covered by frost or
ice.
■ The rear doors / tailgate are open.■ An object was hanging out of the rear doors / tailgate during the last
drive cycle. Once the object has been removed, the parking assist
will return to normal operation.
■ An object or cover is attached to the
rear of the vehicle.
■ The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle to a workshop to repair the
system.
■ Other conditions, such as vibrations from a jackhammer, are
affecting system performance.
In the event the system still does not
work properly, seek the assistance of
a workshop.
A warning chime is also sounded
briefly if a fault is present when
reverse gear is engaged 3 85.
Notice
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 79.Important hints for using the
parking assist systems9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper. If
such obstacles leave the detection area of the sensors during
approach of the vehicle, a
continuous warning tone will
sound.
Vehicle care157
Clean the leather upholstery with
clear water and a soft cloth. In case of
heavy soiling, use leather care.
The instrument cluster and the
displays should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use a
weak soap solution.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.
Clothing fabrics may not be
colourfast. This could cause visible
discolourations, especially on light-
coloured upholstery. Removable
stains and discolourations should be
cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water
or interior cleaner.Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open
Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.
The same applies to clothing with
sharp-edged objects, like zips or
belts or studded jeans.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be
cleaned with the same cleaner as
used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any
other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use high-
pressure jet cleaners.
