One or more segments light up as the ve-
hicle approaches an obstacle, depending
on the vehicle’s distance from the ob-
stacle.
From the first red segment onwards, you
will additionally hear an acoustic warning
sound for approximately 3 seconds. This
means that the vehicle’s distance to the
obstacle is about to fall below the mini-
mum distance.

sole.

Trailer towing
If you couple up a trailer, PTS is deacti-
vated for the rear area as soon as you
make the electrical connection between
your vehicle and the trailer.
After uncoupling the trailer, unplug the 7-
pin connector adapter from the vehicle
(
e page 234). Otherwise, PTS will remain
deactivated for the rear area.
If the trailer coupling is detachable, re-
move it when it is no longer required. The
minimum detection range from PTS to an
obstacle is measured from the bumper
and not the ball coupling.
