Sensors in the vehicle
CONTROLS
▷
When the camera field of view is covered,
for example by a fogged up windscreen or
stickers.
Exterior mirror cameras
▷
▷
▷
If the camera lens is dirty or damaged.
With the exterior mirrors folded in.
With open doors or open luggage compart-
ment.
▷
In the case of bright oncoming light or
strong reflections, for example if the sun is
low in the sky.
An exterior mirror camera is located under
each exterior mirror housing.
▷
▷
In the dark.
The camera has overheated due to exces-
sive temperatures and temporarily turned
off.
Reversing Assist Camera
▷
During the camera calibration process im-
mediately after vehicle delivery.
A Check Control message may be displayed if
the system limits are reached.
Radar sensors
Safety information
WARNING
The Reversing Assist Camera is located in the
handle strip on the rear.
Due to external influences, e.g. interference,
the radar sensors of the vehicle and thus also
the driving assistance systems can be distur-
bed. There is a risk of accident. Observe the
traffic situation, be ready to take over steer-
ing and braking at any time, and actively in-
tervene if the situation warrants it.
Functional requirement of the
cameras
The areas of the cameras are clean and clear.
For further information:

Washing the vehicle, see page 422.
Vehicle care, see page 423.
System limits of the cameras
The function of the cameras can be restricted
or may indicate something wrong, for example
in the following situations:
▷
▷
In thick fog, wet conditions or snow.
On steep crests or dips or on tight bends.

System limits of the radar sensors
The function of the radar sensors can be re-
stricted or not available, for example in the
following situations:
The front radar sensor is located in the front
bumper.
▷
▷
▷
If the sensors are contaminated.
In case of iced up sensors.
Side radar sensors, front
If the sensors are obscured, for example by
stickers, foils or a number plate carrier.
▷
▷
▷
If the sensors are misaligned, for example
due to parking damage.
If the radiation range of the sensors is cov-
ered, for example by protruding loads.
When the field of view of the sensors is cov-
ered, for example by garage walls, hedges,
snow hills, vehicles or trailers.
The radar sensors are located on the side of
the front bumper.
▷
▷
After work performed incorrectly on the ve-
hicle paintwork near to the sensors.
At steep crests or hollows of hills.
Side radar sensors, rear
A Check Control message may be displayed if
the system limits are reached.
The radar sensors are located in the rear
bumper.

System limits of the ultrasonic
sensors
The physical limits of ultrasound measurement
may be reached when detecting objects in sit-
uations involving the following, for example:
The ultrasonic sensors of the parking assis-
tance systems are located in the front bumper.
▷
▷
▷
If the sensors are dirty or covered, e.g. by
stickers.
Ultrasonic sensors, rear
If the sensors are misaligned, for example
due to parking damage.
After work performed incorrectly on the ve-
hicle paintwork near to the sensors.
▷
▷
Small children and animals.
Persons wearing certain types of clothing,
for example a jacket.
▷
▷
Obstacles and people at the edge of the
driving lane.
If there is external interference with the ul-
trasonic sound, for example by passing ve-
hicles, loud machines or other ultrasonic
sources.
The ultrasonic sensors of the parking assis-
tance systems are located in the rear bumper.
Side ultrasonic sensors
▷
▷
Certain weather conditions; for example,
high air humidity, wet conditions, snowfall,
cold, extreme heat or strong wind.
For trailer towbars and tow hitches of other
vehicles.
▷
▷
▷
Thin or wedge-shaped objects.
Moving objects.
Higher protruding objects, for example pro-
jecting walls.
▷
Objects with corners, edges and smooth
surfaces.
The ultrasonic sensors of the parking assis-
tance systems are located on the side in the
front and rear bumpers.

▷
For objects with fine surfaces or structures,
e.g. wire mesh fences.
▷
▷
▷
Objects with porous surfaces.
Small and low objects such as boxes.
Low objects already displayed, for exam-
ple, kerbs, can be outside of the detection
ranges of the sensors.
▷
Soft obstacles or obstacles covered in foam
material.
▷
▷
▷
Plants or shrubs.
In washing bays and car washes.
In the event of bumps, for example speed
bumps.
▷

In the presence of dense exhaust fumes.
The ultrasonic sensors do not take into ac-
count loads projecting beyond the outline of
the vehicle.
▷
If the cover of the trailer tow hitch is incor-
rectly seated.
A Check Control message may be displayed if
the system limits are reached.
