Rear acoustic park assist
Acoustic park assist gives a warning a bout o bstacles
behind the vehicle.
Description
The rear acoustic park assist (4 -channel acoustic park assist) deter ­
mines the d istance of the vehic le from an obstac le using u ltrasonic
sensors. The sensors are in the rear bumper. The volume and the
pitch of the chimes can be adjusted through the menu display
=> page 27.
The range at which the sensors start to m easure is about :
To the side
Center rear
Acti v atio n
2 feet (0 .60 m)
5 feet (1.60 ml
The pa rking assist is activated when rever se ge ar is engaged . A brief
tone confirms that the system is activated .
Backing up
Distance warning when backing up starts when an obstacle is
detec ted in the range of the park ass ist system . As the distance
decreases, the time interval between the aud ible tones becomes
shorter .
When the distance is less than 1 foot (0.30 m) , the tone becomes
continuous . At this point you should stop backing up.
Please note that low objects a lready signalled by a warning can
disappear from the sys tem's detection range and wil l not continue
t o be signa lled . ..,

Pote nt ial malf un cti ons
If a warning buzzer sounds for a few seconds when the ign ition is
switched on, there is a system malfunction with the acoustic park
assist. If the malfunction persists until the ignition is switched off,
there will be no acoustic warning at the next attempt to activate the system. Have the problem corrected.
There is no confirmation tone when reverse gea r is engaged if there
is a system malfunction .
For the parking assist to operate, the sensors must be kept clean
and free of ice.

Selector lever positions
All the selector lever positions are explained in this
section.
Fig. 85 Display:
Selector lever posi ­
tions
The selector lever position is shown in the instrument cluster
display by highlighting the appropriate symbol.
P -Park lock
In this position the gears are mechanically locked.
The park lock must only be engaged with the vehicle
stationary
=>& .
To engage P and to remove the lever from this position, you must
depress the release button (button in the selector lever handle)
and
simultaneously you must step on the brake pedal.
R -reverse
In this position, reverse is engaged. Reverse gear must only be engaged with the vehicle
stationary and
the engine running at idle speed=>& .
To engage R, you have to depress the release button
and simulta­
neously step on the brake pedal. In the R position, the back -up lights
illuminate with the ignition on.
N -Neutral
The transmission is in neutral in this position .
D -Normal position for driving forward
In this position, the forward gears are automatically shifted up and
down, depending on engine load and vehicle speed.
To engage S from N, the brake pedal must be depressed at speeds
below 5 km/h or when the vehicle is stationary=>& .
In certain circumstances (driving in the mountains for example) it
can be beneficial to switch temporarily to the manual shift program
=>
page 103 in order to adjust the gear ratios to driving conditions
manually .
S -Sport setting
Th e S setting should be selected for sporting driving . The power
reserves of the engine can be fully exploited through later upshifts.
To engage S from N, the brake pedal must be depressed at speeds
below 5 km/h or when the vehicle is stationary =>& .
& WARNING
• Never place the selector lever in the R or P position while the
vehicle is moving -risk of an accident!
• With the engine running, it is necessary to hold the vehicle with
the foot brake in all selector lever positions (except P and Nl,
because even at idle speed the transfer of power is never
completely interrupted -the vehicle "creeps".
If the vehicle is
stationary and the transmission is engaged, the engine should
never be speeded up unintentionally (e.g. manually from under the _.,

In addition, the symbol «s> for the automatic selector lever lock i llu ­
minates in the shif t gate .
The selector lever lock is effective only when the vehic le is
stationary and at speeds below 5 km/h . At higher speeds, the lock in
the N position is automatically sw itched o ff .
The selector lever is not locked when rapid shifts are made through
the N posi tion (e .g. from R to DI. This allows you to "rock" the vehicle
if it becomes stuck . If the lever is in the N position for more than
1 second with the brake pedal not depressed, the selector lock
engages automatically.
Release button
The release button in the selector lever handle prevents accidental shifts into certain selector lever positions . When you press the
re lease button, the selector lever lock is cancelled. In the i llustra ­
tion , the positions in which the release button has to be pressed are
h ighlighted in co lor~ fig. 86 .

Selector lever with
release button
- Hold the release button (button in selector lever) down,
move the selector lever to the desired position, for
example D =:>
page 100, and release the button.
- Release the brake pedal and accelerate =:>& .
Stopping temporarily
Bring the vehicle to a full stop with the brake, e.g. at
traffic signals.
Do not accelerate.
Parking
-Step on and hold the brake pedal =:> & .
Apply the parking brake firmly.
- Hold the release button down, move the selector lever to
P and release the button.
Stopping on an incline
-Always hold the vehicle with the footbrake or parking
brake in order to prevent "rollback"=:>& . Do
not try to
prevent the vehicle from rolling back by rewing the
engine while it is in gear.
Starting on a hill
- Apply the hand brake firmly.
- With the engine in gear, gradually accelerate and release
the hand brake.
The engine can only be started with the selector lever in P or N
=> page 93. At low ambient temperatures (14 °F /-1 O °C), it is only
possible to start the engine with the selector lever in P.
When parking on level ground, it is sufficient to place the selector
lever in P. On a steeply sloping road , you should first apply the
parking brake firmly and then place the selector lever in P. This way,
you do not overload the pawl mechanism and it is easier to move
the selector lever out of P.
& WARNING
• Never leave your vehicle with the engine running while in gear.
If you must leave your vehicle with the engine running, set the
parking brake and engage the park lock.
• When the engine is running and the transmission is in gear (D,
S or R) or in "tiptronic" mode, it is essential that you stop the
vehicle with the footbrake. When idling, the transmission of power
does not stop completely -the vehicle "creeps".
• Do not accelerate when you change the selector lever position
with the vehicle stationary and the engine running -risk of an acci ­
dent!
• Never place the selector lever in the R or N position while the
vehicle is moving -risk of an accident!
