Introduction
Park Distance Control assists the driver when parking and warns if there are obstacles.
System function
Using ultrasonic sensors, Park Distance Control detects the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle.
The Park Distance Control warns you of a collision via colored segments on the
screen of the Infotainment system
and via warning chimes → fig. 1 , →
.
If the driver does not respond to an approaching obstacle, automatic braking support may kick in (→ Automatic braking support)
WARNING
The Park Distance Control is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Park Distance Control might not be able to detect some obstacles and may not react, may react late, or may react in a way that is undesired. If you do not take care, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries.
NOTICE
The system will only provide visual and audible warnings for obstacles within the vehicle's path. The collision area has been reached, at the latest, when the second to last segment is displayed in the Park Distance Control screen or a continuous warning tone sounds. There is a risk of damage to the vehicle.
NOTICE
Depending on the vehicle equipment, distances to obstacles in the side areas are also displayed. Any obstacles that enter these areas from the outside are not displayed. The vehicle may be damaged in this instance.
