Audible signals for obstacles in front and to thesides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle ismoving but will cease after the vehicle has beenstationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signalsfor obstacles behind the vehicle will remain activeeven when the vehicle is stationary.
If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm(1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, thetone will become constant and the active sen-sor's field closest to the vehicle symbol will befilled in.
At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from anobstacle to the sides of the vehicle, an rapid puls-ing signal will be given and the active sectorfields will change color from ORANGE to RED.
The volume of the Park Assist audible signalscan be adjusted while the signal is being givenusing the >II knob or in the center display's Topview under Settings.
NOTE
Besides in the sector closest to the vehi-cle symbol, audible warnings are only pro-vided for objects located directly in thevehicle's path.
