460_OM_MY09.book Page 156 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM 156 Starting and driving When the sensors detect an object within the monitored area, pulses of sound (- - - - - ) will be heard. The frequency of these pulses increases as the car comes closer to the object. If you stop reversing, the sound pulse will stop after 2 seconds. The sound pulses will return if you continue to reverse. If the car moves forward while reverse is engaged, the system is silenced. When the distance to the object is less than 30 cm, a continuous tone will be heard. When an object is approximately 90 cm from the car, the sound pulses change character markedly (frequency increases). A distance of about 90 cm is suitable if you wish to load or unload the luggage compartment. NOTICE The sensors must be kept clean to function well. Ice, snow and dirt can affect their sensitivity. Large quantities of snow or dirt covering the sensors can prevent the parking aid system from detecting any objects. Do not spray the sensors with a pressure washer, as this can damage them. Reversing alongside a wall If the distance between an object and a corner sensor does not change for 2 seconds, for example if you are reversing alongside a wall, the system will switch to monitoring straight back. The system indicates if the distance to the wall decreases again. Cars with towbar If the car has a towbar and its wiring is correctly connected to the car’s electrics, the parking aid system automatically compensates for the protrusion of the towbar. If a caravan or trailer is hitched up and the towbar wiring is correctly connected to the car’s electrics, the system is automatically deactivated. You can temporarily deactivate the parking aid system as follows: • Press the CLR button on the steering wheel once reverse gear has been engaged. The system will be reactivated the next time you engage reverse. Error messages If the system malfunctions, the following message will appear on the DIC: Parking assistance malfunction. Service. If the system is disrupted by outside interference, the following message will be shown on the DIC: Parking assistance sensor interference. If this message appears, clean the sensors. The sensors are located in the black trim on the rear bumper.

return if you continue to reverse. If the car<br />
moves forward while reverse is engaged,<br />
the system is silenced.<br />
When the distance to the object is less<br />
than 30 cm, a continuous tone will be<br />

When an object is approximately 90 cm<br />
from the car, the sound pulses change character<br />
markedly (frequency increases).<br />
A distance of about 90 cm is suitable if<br />
you wish to load or unload the luggage<br />
compartment.<br />
