Warning indicators
The warning indicators show the distance
between the sensor and the obstacle. The
warning indicators for the front area are lo-
cated above the center air vents in the
dashboard. The warning indicator for the
rear area is located in the rear passenger
compartment lamp.

1 Segments, left side of vehicle
2 Segments, right side of vehicle
Each warning indicator has six yellow and
two red segments.
The gear selector lever position deter-
mines which warning indicator is activat-
ed.
As soon as the sensors detect an obstacle,
one or more segments light up, depending
on the distance. An intermittent acoustic
warning will also sound as the seventh seg-
ment comes on and a constant acoustic
warning lasting a maximum of
three seconds will sound for the eighth
segment.

If all red segments light up in the warn-
ing indicators, a dirty sensor or a ultra-
sonic signal could be the reason.
ț Clean the sensors (page 243).
After cleaning the sensors, switch
the ignition on.
