Using MagicWatch

8 Using MagicWatch
MagicWatch is activated automatically when you engage reverse gear with
the ignition on or the motor running.
As soon as there is an obstacle within the detection range, a repeated signal
tone sounds. At the same time, the display shows where the obstacle is: If
the right side of the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the row of LEDs on the
right light up. If the left side of the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the row of
LEDs on the left light up. If the obstacle is in the detection range of one of the
two middle sensors, the two corresponding middle rows of LEDs light up.
As you reverse, the sequence of beeps changes according to the zone you
are in (see "Testing functions" chapter on page 40), thus indicating the dis-
tance. The numerical display shows the measured distance to the obstacle.
Be very careful the first time you use the system, until you are familiar with
the various sequences of beeps.
Caution!
Stop the vehicle immediately and check the situation (getting out if
necessary), if the following happens while you are reversing:
The device first shows an obstacle while you reverse, and the
beeps speed up as normal (i.e. from slow to medium). Suddenly
the beeps become slow again or no obstacle at all is shown.
This means that the original obstacle is in the blind spot of the sen-
sors (depending on the design), and you might hit it.
Caution!
If loads or objects on the vehicle (e.g. bicycle racks) protrude over
the close area of 0.4 m, there is a danger of accidents. An obstacle
can collide with the load or the object before it is detected by the
sensors in the close area and MagicWatch gives a stop warning
(see fig. 11, page 6).
