System Errors If the system detects a fault, a warning lamp illuminates and a message displays. See Information Messages (page 125). Switching the System Off and On You can switch the system off using the information display. See General Information (page 118). When you switch the system off, a warning lamp illuminates and a message displays. When you switch the system on or off, the alert indicators flash twice. Note: The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle. Note: The systemmay not correctly operate when towing a trailer. For vehicles with a trailer tow module and tow bar approved by us, the system turns off when you attach a trailer. For vehicles with an aftermarket trailer tow module or tow bar, we recommend that you switch the system off when you attach a trailer. To permanently switch the system off, contact an authorized dealer.

The sensors are behind the rear bumper on both sides of your vehicle. Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt. Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper stickers, repair compound or other objects. Note: Blocked sensors could affect system performance. If the sensors are blocked, a message may appear in the information display. See Information Messages (page 125). The alert indicators remain illuminated but the system does not alert you.
