When towing a trailer
On vehicles with a factory-installed trailer hitch and an electrically connected trailer, a corresponding graphic is displayed on the screen. Distance values behind the vehicles will not be displayed.
Muting the Park Distance Control volume
You can mute the PDC beeping signals by tapping the function key on the Radio or Navigation system screen. Tap the function key again to reactivate the acoustic signals.
Muting is cancelled by switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off. The warning messages cannot be switched off.
If the display has been switched off manually and PDC remains active, the mute setting is also cancelled.
Switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off reactivates the volume. System malfunction warning signals cannot be switched off.
WARNING
Never rely completely on the OPS for information about people and objects that might be in the way of the vehicle and could be struck by the vehicle causing serious personal injury.
x The OPS sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect persons or objects.
x Never pay so much attention to the OPS and the graphics shown on the screen that you fail to notice what is going on around you.
x Always watch for people, especially small children and animals, because the sensors may not always be able to detect them.
NOTICE
Automatic activation of OPS when approaching an obstacle works only when your speed falls below a threshold of about 5 - 10 mph (10 - 15 km/h). If you then close the display, you must either switch the ignition off and back on or exceed the speed threshold and then reduce speed to under the threshold a second time in order for it to activate automatically again.
