The ParkPilot uses ultraound sensors to determine the distance between the front and rear bumpers and an obstacle. Up to 6 ultrasound sensors for the ParkPilot are located in both the front Aand rear B bumpers (arrows).
The intermittent and permanent acoustic warning signals for the front ParkPilot are of a higher pitch than those for the rear ParkPilot. This is a standard feature.
The warning signals can be adjusted in the infotainment system menu .
