AUX- and MDIinputs
The AUX and MDI inputs are used to connect external audio sources (e.g. iPod
or mp3 player) and to play back music from these devices via the factory fitted
radio or navigation system.
The AUX input for external audio sources is located below the armrest of the
front seats and is marked with the symbol. 1)
.
The MDI input is located in the storage compartment below the front armrest.For a description of use, refer to the relevant operating instructions for the ra-
dio or navigation system.1)
For vehicles with the navigation system Amundsen + the AUX input located on the front panel of the
navigation device » manual of the navigation system Amundsen + .

ABC136Operation
FunctionFig. 148
Range of sensors / system button
Read and observe
and on page 156 first.
The parking aid (referred to below solely as system) only works when the igni-
tion is switched on.
The system supports the driver via audible signals, via the display on the radio
or via the factory-installed navigation system when parking and manoeu-
vring » Radio user guide, Navigation system user guide.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the
bumper and an obstacle. The ultrasound sensors are located on the front/rear
bumper.
Image description - approximate range of the sensors
Range » Fig. 148Range of sensorsA120 cmB60 cmC160 cmD60 cmEa)60 cma)
Applies only for vehicles with 12 sensors.
The interval between the acoustic signals becomes shorter as the clearance is
reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm - danger
area. From this moment on do not continue driving!
The length of the vehicle can be increased with an installed detachable towing
device. The danger area thus begins at a distance of around 35 cm on vehicles equipped with a factory fitted towing device.
Towing a trailer
On vehicles equipped with a factory fitted towing device, only system areas A
and
B
» Fig. 148 are active when towing a trailer.
Activation/deactivation
Read and observe
and on page 156 first.
The system is automatically activated by selecting reverse gear or pressing
the symbol button
» Fig. 148 on page 157 . The symbol
illuminates in the
button; activation is confirmed by a brief acoustic signal.
The system is deactivated by moving out of reverse gear, either by pressing the symbol button or automatically at a speed exceeding 10 km/h (the sym-
bol in the button goes out).
On vehicles which only have rear sensors , the system can only be deactivated
by moving out of reverse gear.

Park Assist (in the following referred to as the system) helps drivers park in
suitable parallel and perpendicular parking places and also to manoeuvre out
of parallel parking spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements when parking or driving out of
the parking space, the driver operates the pedals as well as the gear lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
157Assist systems
CAUTIONFor technical reasons, on vehicles with the description “AGM”, the electrolyte
level cannot be checked.
Note
The battery acid level is also checked regularly by a specialist garage as part of
the inspection service.
Charging
Read and observe
and on page 194 first.
A properly charged vehicle battery is essential for reliably starting the engine.
›
Switch off the ignition and all of the electrical components.
›
Disconnect both battery cables (“negative” first, then “positive”) only when“rapid charging” the battery.
›
Attach the terminal clamps of the charger to the battery terminals (red =
“positive”, black = “negative”).
›
Plug the mains cable of the charger into the power socket and switch the
charger on.
›
Once charging is complete: Switch off the charger and remove the mains ca-
ble from the power socket.
›
Only then disconnect the charger's terminal clamps.
›
Reconnect the cables to the battery (first “positive”, then “negative”).
It is not necessary to disconnect the battery cables if you are recharging the
vehicle battery using low amperages (for example from a mini-charger). Refer
to the charger manufacturer's instructions .
A charging current of 0.1 multiple of the total vehicle battery capacity (or low-
er) must be used until full charging is achieved.
Both cables must be disconnected before charging the battery with high
amperages, known as “ rapid charging”.
The vent plugs of the vehicle battery should not be opened for charging.
WARNING“Quick-charging” the vehicle battery is dangerous and requires a special
charger and specialist knowledge.CAUTIONOn vehicles with the START/STOP system, the pole terminal of the charger
must not be connected directly to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery,
but only to the engine earth » page 212, Jump-starting in vehicles with the
START STOP system .
Note
We therefore recommend that vehicle batteries be rapid charged by a special-
ist garage.
Replacing
Read and observe
and on page 194 first.
The new vehicle battery must have the same capacity, voltage, current and
size as the original battery. Suitable vehicle battery types can be purchased
from a specialist garage.
We recommend having the battery replaced by a specialist garage, where the
new vehicle battery will be installed properly and the original battery will be
disposed of in accordance with national regulations.
Disconnecting or reconnecting
Read and observe
and on page 194 first.
The following functions are initially deactivated or are no longer able to oper-
ate faultlessly after the vehicle battery has been disconnected and reconnec-
ted.
