- Using the foam adhesive tapes (L), fasten the parking sensor wires and the loudspeaker
wires in the vehicle luggage compartment to the bodywork.
Check proper fastening of all the wires. The wires must be fastened in such manner to
avoid their damage and occurrence of any disturbing noises during the drive.
After finishing the fitting, re-fit all removed parts to their places according to the Work-
shop Manual. Connect the car battery and perform all operations related with the discon-
nection and re-connection of the car battery. Test the function of the sensors.
Important instructions in case a failure occurs on the parking
sensors
If there occurs an irregular false indication of an obstacle, it can be due to contamination or
frost on the sensors. Clean the sensors (not with pressure water).
Should there sound a special warning tone right after the parking assistant activation, one of
the sensors has been disconnected or damaged. This error state is indicated by the number
of short beeps following the warning tone:
1 beep one corner sensor PIN 11, 23 or PIN 12, 24 is defective
2 beeps the central sensor PIN 10, 22 is defective
3 beeps multiple sensors are defective
To distinguish which of the corner sensors is faulty (1 beep) follow the below steps:
- Disconnect one corner sensor and then activate the parking assistant.
- If 1 beep sounds, the disconnected sensor is faulty.
- If 3 beeps sound, the disconnected sensor is OK and the faulty one is connected to the unit.
Spare sensors can be ordered under the ordering numbers:
1ST 054 635 - central sensor
1ST 054 635A - corner sensors
Warning
The capacity of the system to detect obstacles depends upon their material and their
shape!
The acoustic signalling during backing does not exempt the driver from responsibility for
damages inflicted when parking the vehicle and in similar manoeuvres.
Therefore, before backing make sure that there is no obstacle of smaller size behind your
vehicle (e.g. a stone, a thin pillar, draught pole of a trailer etc.). Such an obstacle could be
located out of the sensed area.
