WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute fo
r the driver paying proper attention
and it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when reversing the vehicle or carrying ou
t similar manoeuvres.
•
You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no
small obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces
of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the parking aid. Thus, these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Note
•
Only the front parking aid operates if yo
u are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factor
y-fitted towing device*).
•
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
there is no obstacle close to your car, th
is indicates a system fault. The fault is
confirmed additionally when the symbol
 flashes in the button
⇒page 123,
fig. 139
. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
•
The sensors must be kept clean and free
of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.
•
If the parking aid is activated and the se
lector lever of the automatic gearbox is
in the position , warning signal indicates interruption (vehicle can no longer move).Park Assist*Description and important informationThe park assist assists you when parkin
g in a suitable parallel parking place
between two vehicles or behind a vehicle. The park assist automatically searches fo
r suitable parking spaces after switching
on the ignition and when driving up to 30 km/h. During the parking procedure the park as
sist only takes over the steering move-
ments, the pedals continue to
be operated by the driver.
Function of the system is based on:•
Length and depth measurement of
the parking spaces when driving
•
Evaluation of the size
of the parking space
•
Definition of the correct position of the vehicle for parking
•
Calculating the line on which the vehi
cle drives backwards into the parking
place•
Actuation of the steering force assistan
ce, automatic spinning of the wheels of
the front axle when parking.
WARNING
The park assist does not take away the responsability from the driver when parking.•
Pay particular attention to small chil
dren and animals as they would not
be recognised by the se
nsors of the parking aid.
•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of th
e park assist or th
e parking aid. Thus,

•
If you are stopping at a hill (downhill section), never try to hold the car
stationary with the gear engaged by me
ans of the “accelerator”, this means
by letting the clutch slip. This can lead
to overheating of the
clutch. If there is
a risk of overheating of the clutch due
to overload, the clut
ch is opened auto-
matically and the vehicle rolls backward - risk of accident!•
If you must stop at a slope, depress
and hold the brake pedal, so that you
can prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
Caution
•
The double clutch on the automatic gear
box DSG is equipped with an overload
protection. If you make use of the uphill func
tion on a vehicle which is stationary or
driving slowly uphill, it will result in an
increase of thermal stress of the clutches.
•
An overheating of the clutches can be de
tected by the flashing of the selector
level indicator and the “jerk” of the clut
ches, finally the clutches are opened. The
power transmission from the engine to the front wheels is interrupted and as a result of this the vehicle can no longer be
driven. If the clutch opens automatically,
depress the brake pedal, wait a few se
conds and only then continue driving.
Selector lever positions
The current selector lever position is indicated in the information display of the instrument cluster
⇒fig. 147

or out of this position, you must press the
Shiftlock button in the handle of the selector lever and at the same time depress the brake pedal. If the battery is used, the selector leve
r cannot be moved out of the position
P.
R - Reverse Reverse gear must only be engaged when
the vehicle is stationary and the engine
idling
⇒
.
The brake pedal must be depressed and at the same time the Shiftlock must be pressed, if you wish to obtain the selector lever positions
R, P or N.
When the ignition is switched on and the selector lever is in position
R, the reverse
lights will come on. N - Neutral The transmission is in Neutral in this position. The brake pedal must be depressed (if the lever is in its position for longer than 2 seconds) in order to move the selector lever out of the position
N into the position

ver is in its position for longer than 2
seconds) in order to move the selector lever out of the position
N into the position
R , with the ignition switched on, on a vehicl
e travelling at less than 5 km/hour or on
a stationary vehicle. D - Drive, position for driving forward When the selector lever is in this position, the forward gears are shifted up and down automatically in line with engine
load, vehicle speed and the dynamic shift
programme. You must depress the brake pedal if
you wish to move into position
D from
N when
the vehicle is travelling at less than 5 km/hour or is stationary
⇒
.
In certain circumstances (e.g. when driving
in mountainous regions or when towing
a trailer) it may be beneficial to select
the manual shift programme for a short time
in order to adapt the gearbox ratios
manually to the driving situations.
S - Position for sporty style of driving Shifting up later into a higher gear makes it possible to fully exploit the power potential of the engine. The gearbox also then shifts down at higher engine speeds as in the position
D.
The Shiftlock on the selector lever grip must be pressed when moving the selector lever out of the position
D into the position
S.
WARNING
•
Never move the selector lever into position R or P when driving - risk of
an accident!•
When the engine is running and the vehicle is stationary, it is necessary
to hold the car with the brake pedal in all the positions of the selector lever (except P and N) since the power transmission is never completely inter- rupted, also not when the engine
is idling - the vehicle "creeps".
•
You must on no account unintentionally operate the throttle (e.g. by
hand from the engine compartment) if
a drive position is engaged when the
car is stationary. The vehicle would ot
herwise immediately start off - also
when the handbrake is firmly applied - risk of an accident!•
You must move the selector lever into position P and firmly apply the
handbrake first before you or any othe
r person opens the
bonnet and starts
working on the engine when it is runn
ing - risk of accident! Pay particular
attention to the warning instructions.Selector lever lockAutomatic selector lever lock

With the ignition on, the selector lever is locked when it is in the positions
P and
N.
You must first of all depress the brake pedal in order to move the selector lever out of this position. The warning light
 ⇒page 33 lights up in the instrument cluster
as a reminder for the driver when the selector lever is in position
P and
N.
A time delay element ensures that the sele
ctor lever is not blocked when rapidly
switching over the position
N (e.g. from
R to D). This does, for example, allow one
to seesaw out a stuck vehicle. The selector
lever lock will click into place if the lever
is in the
N position for more than 2 seconds
without the brake pedal being pressed.
The selector lever lock is only active if th
e vehicle is stationary
or moving at speed
of less than 5 km/hour. The lock is switched off automatically into position
N when
the car is travelling at a higher speed. Shiftlock button The Shiftlock button in the handle of select
or lever prevents certain selector lever
positions being engaged inadvertently. The
selector lever lock is cancelled when
you press the Shiftlock button. Keylock - Ignition key withdrawal lock You can only withdraw the ignition key after switching off the ignition if the selector lever is in position
P. If the ignition key is withdrawn, the selector lever is blocked in
position

Cancel
” is given and the dialogue is ended.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following factors:•
Speak with a normal tone of voice wi
thout intonation and excessive voice
pauses.•
Avoid insufficient articulation.
•
Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing
exterior noise.•
It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.•
