sound indicates the position of the object. E. g.
if an object is detected to the left rear of the
vehicle, a signal tone sounds from the left rear
speaker.
The shorter the distance to the object, the shorter the intervals.
If the distance to a detected object is less than
approx. 10 in/25 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.

front of and behind the vehicle, an alternating
continuous signal is sounded.

priate equipment after about 3 seconds:
▷If the vehicle stops in front of an object that
is detected by only one of the corner sen‐
sors.▷If moving parallel to a wall.

ject by more than approx. 4 in/10 cm.▷When selector lever position P is engaged

justed similar to the sound and volume set‐
tings of the radio.
