magic watch
Example 4 (see fig. 9, page 6)
In this case, MAGIC WATCH displays the distance A. As the vehicle
approaches the audible indicator goes over to the stop zone, and as it
approaches further, the distance A goes into the blind spot, so that
MAGIC WATCH signals the distance from point B.
Caution!
As these four examples show, situations can arise where the
device fails to display an object or does not display the shortest
distance.
The device does not relieve you of your obligation to take special
care when reversing. Therefore, always be extremely careful
when reversing.
If an object enters the blind spot of the sensors, MAGIC WATCH
automatically shows the distance to the next object. This means
the piezoelectronic speaker changes from fast to medium beeps
and the display shows a different distance.
In this case, always stop the vehicle immediately and check the sit-
uation.
The DSM function ensures that objects attached to the vehicle (such as
trailer couplings) are not classified as obstacles. As a rule they do not pro-
trude more than 0.4 m over the sensors. They are therefore in the close area
(zone 3) of up to 0.4 m, in which MAGIC WATCH gives a stop warning and
where you should stop (see the "Testing functions" on page 42 section).
Caution!
If loads or objects on the vehicle 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 MAGIC WATCH gives a stop warning (see fig. 11,
page 6).
