Sensor s in the bumper
Sensors are located in the rear bumpers. If
these detect an obstacle, audible and visual signals warn you. The range at wh ich the sen­
sors beg in to measure is approximately:
To the side
2 ft (0.60 m)
Center rear 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Distance warning when reversing starts when
an obstacle is detected in the range of the
parking assist system. As the distance de­
creases, the time interval between the audible
tones becomes shorter.
When the distance is less than 1ft (0.30 m),
the tone becomes continuous. At this point
you should stop backing up.
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same,
the volume of the distance signal chime is
gradually reduced after about 4 seconds (does not affect the continuous s ignal tone). Ap­

Rear view camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by
the rear view camera
¢fig. 125 ©-Objects
that are not in the area covered @are not
shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you pract ice pa rking with
the rear view camera in a traffic-free location
or parking lot to become familiar with the sys­
tem, the orientation lines, and their function.
When doing this, there should be good light
and weather conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- you are driving in reverse gear from a level
surface onto an inclin e, or a downward
slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear towa rd pro­
truding objects,
- the vehicle is carrying too mu ch load in the
rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces diminishes if:
- the rear view camera does not provide a reli­
able image, for example, in poor visibility
conditions or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to
sun glare and reflection.
Caring for the rear view camera lens
The rear v iew camera is located above the rear
license plate bracket. For the parking assist to
operate, the lens
¢ fig . 126 must be kept
clean:
- Dampen the lens w ith a household a lcohol­
based glass cleaner, and clean the lens with
a dry cloth
¢ (D.
-Remove snow with a hand brush and ice
preferably with a de-icing spray¢()).

Reverse Parking
Applies to vehicles: with parking system (rear, with rear

cially for small children and animals. The rear view camera cannot always detect
them, posing risk of an accident!
- Please note that objects not touching the
ground can appear to be further away
than they really are (for example, the bumper of a parked vehicle, a trailer
hitch, o r the rear of a truck). In this case,
you shou ld not use the help lines to help

accident!
(D Note
- Low obstacles a lready s ignaled by a
warning can disappear from the system's detect ion range as they are app roached
and wi ll not continue to be signaled. Ob ­
jects such as barrier chains, trai ler draw
bars, thin painted vert ica l poles or fen­
ces may not be detected by the system,
posing risk of damage.
- In the MMI display, the direction of trav­
el of the vehicle rear is represented de­
pending on the steering wheel angle .
The vehicle front swings out more than
the vehicle rear . Maintain plenty of d is­
tance from an obstacle so that your out­
side mi rror or a corner of you r vehicle
does not co llide w ith any obsta cles -dan­
ger of accident !
