Sensor s in the bumper
Sensors are located in the front and rear
bumpers. If these detect an obstacle , a udible
and visual signals warn you. The range at
wh ich the sensors begin to measu re is app rox­
i mately :
front side
3 ft (
0.90
m)
center 4 ft (1.20 m)
side 2 ft (0 .60 m)
rea r
center 5.2
ft (1.60 m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the aud ible signals . A
continuous to ne sounds when the obstacle is
less than app roximately 1 foot (0.30 meters)
away . Do no t con tinue dr iv ing f art her .
If the distance to an obstacle remains con ­
stant, the volume of th e distance warn ing
gradua lly drops after about fo ur se conds (this
d oes not apply in the cont inuo us tone range).

Rearv iew camer a coverage area
The MM I display shows the area cove red by
the rearview camera
r=> fig. 141 (D . Objects
that are not in the a rea covered @are not
shown on the MMI display .
We recommend that you p ractice park ing wi th
the rearview camera in a traffic-free location
or parking lot to become familiar with the sys ­
tem, the orientation lines, and their f unction.
When doing th is, there sho uld be good light
and weather conditions.
I n the MMI disp lay, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- yo u are d riving in reverse gear from a level
s u rface on to an incline, or a downward
s lope,
- you are d riving in reverse gear toward pro ­
truding objects,
- the vehicle is carrying too much load in the
rear .
The accu racy of the orientat ion lines and b lue
surfaces dim inishes if:
- the rearview camera does not prov ide a reli ­
able image, for example, in poor visibility
condit io ns or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on t he screen is not visible due to
s u n glare and reflect ion .
Caring for the rear view came ra len s
The rearview camera is located above the rear
license plate bracket . For the parking system
to operate, the lens
r=> fig. 142 must be kept
clean:
- Dampen the lens with a househo ld alcoho l­
based glass cleaner, and then wipe the lens
clean with a dry cloth
r=> 0 .
- Remove snow with a hand brush and ice
prefe rably with a de-icing spray
r=> 0 .
A WARNING
-The parking system cannot rep lace the
dr iver's at tention. The d river alone is re­
sponsible fo r par kin g and similar dr iving
ma ne uvers .
-
-Sensors have blind spots in wh ich objects
cannot be detected. Pay spec ia l attention
to small childre n and an imals because
the sensors cannot always detect them .
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle 's
sur roundings, us ing the rearv iew mir ror
as we ll.
- Do not allow yourself to be distracted
from traffic by the rea rv iew camera pic­
tures .
- If the position and the installation angle
of the camera has changed, for example,
after a rear end coll ision, do not conti nue
to use the system for safety reasons .
H ave it chec ked by a qualified dea le rship.
Q) Note
- Low obstacles a lready s ignaled by a
wa rning can disappear from the system's
detection rang e as they are app roached
and w ill no t cont inue to be signaled. Ob­
jec ts such as ba rr ier chains, tra iler draw
bars, thin painted vert ica l poles or fen­
ces may not be detecte d by the system,
posing ris k of damage .
- N ever use warm or hot water to remove
snow or ice from the rearv iew camera
lens -this could ca use the lens to crac k!
- W hen cleaning the lens, never use prod ­
ucts that a re a brasive.
