⇒ Switching on and off
⇒ Display representation
⇒ Settings
⇒ Troubleshooting
The Park Distance Control system
assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking.
Park Distance Control detects the distance from an obstacle by means of sensors in the front and
rear bumpers ⇒ Vehicle overviews. If there is an obstacle in the detection range of the sensors, the
system indicates this on the Infotainment system and by means of signal tones.
System limits
The sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences,
posts, trees, very low or high obstacles and open or opening boot lids.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors could be registered as an obstacle.
