Controls in detail Driving systems 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. If yellow readiness indicators 3 under the distance segments are lit, the Park Assist is ready to measure. The current transmission position determines which warning indicators will be activated.
