You can find the ultrasonic sensors in the following locations:
- The ultrasonic sensors of the parking assistance systems are located in the front bumper.
- The ultrasonic sensors of the parking assistance systems are located in the rear bumper.
- The ultrasonic sensors of the parking assistance systems are located on the side in the front and rear bumpers.
The detection of objects with ultrasonic measurements may be restricted or not available in the following situations:
- If the sensors are dirty or covered, e.g., by stickers.
- If the sensor is not aligned correctly, for instance due to parking damage.
- After improper paint work on the vehicle in the area of the sensors.
- For small children and animals.
- For people with specific clothing, e.g., coat or jacket.
- With obstacles and persons at the edge of the lane.
- In case of external interference with the ultrasonics, for instance from passing vehicles, loud machines or other ultrasonic sources.
- Under certain weather conditions, e.g., high moisture, wet conditions, snowfall, cold, extreme heat, or strong wind.
- With tow bars and trailer hitches of other vehicles.
- With thin or wedge-shaped objects.
- With moving objects.
- For elevated, protruding objects, e.g., wall ledges.
- With objects with corners, edges, and smooth surfaces.
- In the case objects with fine surfaces or structures, e.g., wire mesh fences.
- For objects with porous surfaces.
- With small and low objects, e.g., boxes.
- Low objects, e.g., curbs, that have already been displayed may enter the blind area of the sensors.
- With soft obstacles or obstacles covered in foam material.
- With plants and bushes.
- In automatic car washes.
- For bumps, e.g., speed bumps.
- If there are large amounts of exhaust gas.
- Cargo that extends beyond the perimeter of the vehicle is not taken into account by the ultrasonic sensors.
- When the trailer hitch cover is not on straight.
If applicable, a Check Control message will be displayed when the system limits are reached.
