While parking, pay particular attention to

objects over or underneath the sensors,
e.g. flower boxes, an elevated crossbar or
a trailer tow hitch. The Park Assist does not
detect such nearby objects. You could
otherwise damage the vehicle or the
objects.

Visual signals indicate to the driver the
relative distance between the sensors and an
obstacle.
