Function requirements 

Function 

When driving forwards, only the front sensors and the front warning indicators are active.

Monitoring range 

Vehicle center: approx. 100 cm

Outside of vehicle: approx. 60 cm (model 168: approx. 80 cm)

An obstacle is no longer detected at a distance below approx. 20 cm in the vehicle center and approx. 15cm (model 168: approx. 20 cm) at the outside of the vehicle.

The monitoring range is subdivided into a left and right sector with 3 sensors respectively (model 168: 2 sensors) and one optical/acoustic warning indicator.

By means of the side sensors obstacles to the side of the vehicle, such as high curbs, walls, bushes, masts and signs are also detected. Therefore there may be a display although there is no obstacle in front of the vehicle.
