Below is an overview of important sensors and operating elements:
- The parking assistance button is the central control panel for the
Parking Maneuvering
Assistant function (position 8).
- Two additional ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper measure parking
spaces while driving
(position 1).
- The distance from an obstruction is measured by four ultrasonic sensors
in the rear bumper
panel and four additional ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper panel
(positions 11 and 19).
- Two additional ultrasonic sensors are installed in the rear bumper to
precisely detect the size
of a transverse parking space during the parking maneuver. The additional
ultrasonic sensors
measure the distance to detected objects.
