when selector lever position R is engaged.
When the distance to a detected object is less
than approx. 8 in/20 cm, a continuous tone is
sounded.

CONTROLS
The system does not detect whether an obsta-
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.
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the
brake intervention. Emergency braking is not
performed.
After emergency braking to a stop, further
creeping toward an obstacle is possible. Pro-
ceed with caution. To move forward, lightly
press the accelerator pedal and release as
needed.
Also follow the information on system limits in
the "Parking assistance systems" chapter.
Unwarranted warnings
Reaching the system limits can cause unwar-
ranted warnings.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer,
the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possi-
ble at any time.
Follow the information in the "Parking assis-
tance systems" chapter.
To prevent unwarranted warnings, for instance
in car washes, turn off automatic Park Dis-
tance Control activation on obstacle detection.
