the system is on, the front and rear
sensors are activated. If a different gear
is engaged, the rear sensors are
deactivated, while the front sensors
remain active until a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded.

automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electric cable plug is inserted in
the tow hook socket of the car, while the
front sensors stay active and can provide
acoustic and visual warnings. The rear
sensors are automatically reactivated
