Performing a functional test
Define acoustic signal for obstacles
➤ Set parameter 09 as required:
– 1: Signal sound for approaching objects only
– 5 or 10: for stationary or moving objects for 5 or 10 seconds
– 99: Signal sound for all objects

Performing a functional test
Conduct the functional test of the sensors as follows:
➤ Switch on the ignition and engage the reverse gear.
Be very careful when you operate the device for the first time, and make sure that you
familiarize yourself with the various sequences of beeps.
!
WARNING!
In zone 4, some obstacles may not be detected, because they are no
longer within range of the sensors (design-related characteristic).

Using the parking aid
The sensors are activated automatically when you engage the reverse gear with the
ignition on or the engine running. An activation signal is emitted (two short tones).
As soon as there is an obstacle within the detection range, a repeated signal tone is
emitted.
As you approach, the tone sequence changes, depending on the zone in which the
obstacle is, thereby indicating the distance.
Be very careful the first time you use the system, until you are familiar with the various
sequences of beeps.
!
WARNING!
Stop the vehicle immediately and investigate the situation (getting out if
necessary), if the following happens while you are manoeuvring:
the device first indicates an obstacle and the tone sequence speeds up
normally (e.g. from slow to medium) when manoeuvring. the signal tone
suddenly slows down, or no obstacle is indicated at all.
This means that the original obstacle is in the blind spot of the sensors
(construction-related characteristic), and there is still a potential for colli-
sion.
