Operating principle

Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle.

This measurement is indicated by beeps which become more frequent the closer you come to the obstacle, until they become a continuous beep when the vehicle is approximately 30 centimetres from the obstacle.

Note: make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, condensation etc.).

Note: depending on the vehicle, the screen 1 shows the vehicle surroundings alongside the beeps.

Operation

When reverse gear is selected, most objects which are less than approximately 1.20 metres from the rear of the vehicle are detected, a beep sounds and, depending on the vehicle, the display 1 comes on.

This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.

Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibility whilst reversing.

The driver should always be ready for sudden incidents while driving: always ensure that there are no small, narrow moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pushchair, bicycle, stone, post, etc.) in the blind spot when manoeuvring.

Temporary deactivation of the system

(depending on vehicle)

Press switch 2 to deactivate the system:

The indicator light built into the switch lights up to remind you that the system is deactivated.

Pressing the switch again will reactivate the system and switch off the indicator light.

The system is automatically reactivated after the ignition is switched off and the engine restarted.

Prolonged deactivation of the system

You can deactivate the system permanently by pressing and holding switch 2.

The warning light built into the switch remains lit constantly.

Pressing the switch again will reactivate the system and switch off the indicator light.

Operating faults

When the system detects an operating fault, a beep sounds for about 3 seconds as a warning. Consult an approved dealer

In the event of an impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g. striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) this may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g. twisted axle), the electrical circuit or the traction battery.

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved dealer.
