Problems and solutions

The parking system behaves differently than expected
An automatic intervention of the brakes may occur in the
following situations:
There can be several causes:
— The speed is exceeded.
— System requirements are not met ÿ p. 188.
— The driver intervenes in the direction.
— The driver's door is open.
— Dirty or icy sensors or camera ÿ p. 369.
- The key
is pressed.
Then brake the vehicle yourself.
— The camera lens is not clean and the image from the camera
is not clear ÿ p. 369.
WARNING
— Some noise sources, such as a jackhammer
cobbled road, interfere with the ultrasound signal.
Do not let the automatic intervention of the brakes in the
parking systems induce you to take risks that compromise
safety.
— The vehicle has some type of damage in the area of the
sensors or the camera, e.g. e.g., due to a bump when parking.
In some situations automatic brake intervention may only
work to a limited extent or not at all. Collisions against
obstacles can cause personal injury and damage to the
vehicle. The system cannot replace the driver's attention.
— The detection zone of the sensors or the field of view of the
camera are blocked by some accessory, e.g. For example,
a bicycle rack system.
— Paintwork or structural changes have been made in the
area of the sensors or camera, e.g. e.g. at the front of the
vehicle or on the running gear.
