Turning off the system automatically
When driving forward, the system turns off au-
tomatically as needed when a certain distance
or speed is exceeded.
Warning
Due to high speeds when the Park Distance
Control is activated, the warning can be de-

Gray shaded area: Sensor detection range.
No obstacles were detected within detec-
tion range.
Depending on the view, pathway lines, turning
circle lines and obstacle markings are shown
for a better estimation of the space required.
Colored marks in shaded area: Obstacles
have been detected within the detection
range.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the sensor
detection range is shown by the shaded, ring-
shaped area. Green, yellow, and red markings
indicate when obstacles are detected within
the detection range.
Shaded area interrupted: the area next to
the vehicle has not yet been detected.
System limits
If vehicle is equipped with Cross Traffic Warn-
ing: A warning is also shown on the display for
vehicles approaching from the side at the rear

The function for protecting the vehicle sides
only shows stationary obstacles that were pre-
viously detected by the sensors when passing
by.
To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle
markings are displayed on the sides of the ve-

cle moves later on. When the vehicle is station-
ary, the gray shaded areas on the sides are
hidden after a certain time. The area on the
side of the vehicle must be newly captured.
