a traffic light. The ignition remains switched on
during this stop phase. The engine will restart
automatically when needed.

Parking aid

Sensors are located in the front and rear bump-
ers. If these detect an obstacle, audible and visu-
al signals warn you.
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick-
ers, deposits or any other obstructions as it may
impair the sensor function. For information on
cleaning, see > page 265.
The display field begins approximately at:



@ 4 ft (1.20 m)
@ 3 ft (0.90 m)
® 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
@ 3 ft (0.90 m)

The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals. A con-
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 0.30 meters away. Do not
continue backing up > A\ in Introduction on
page 81, >Q@in Introduction on page 81!
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals. A con-
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away.
Do not continue driving forward or in reverse
=> A\ in Introduction on page 81, >@ in Intro-
duction on page 81!
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually
drops after about four seconds (this does not ap-
ply in the continuous tone range).

expected direction of travel according to the
steering angle. A white segment indicates an
identified obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's
path. Red segments show identified obstacles
that are in your vehicle's path. As your vehicle
comes closer to the obstacle, the segments move
closer to the vehicle. The collision area has been
reached when the next to last segment is dis-
played. Obstacles in the collision area, including
those outside of the vehicle's path, are shown in
red. Do not continue driving forward or in reverse
