General information: Notes
The Acoustic Parking System monitors the vehicle's environment via four ultrasound sensors in the front bumper and four ultrasound sensors in the rear bumper. The acoustic gap notification is given via one chime in the front and one in the rear of the vehicle interior.
There are four ultrasound sensors built into each of the bumpers, front and rear. The sensors can be controlled in either the combined send/receive mode or in receive mode alone.
The rear sensors are switched off if a trailer hitch is attached and the trailer plug is connected. The front sensors remain active.
The gap warning starts during reverse or forward driving (acoustic parking system active) at:
- less than approx. 60 cm on all side sensors
- less than approx. 120 cm for front-center sensors
- less than approx. 150 cm for rear-center sensors
