T
e Park Ass ist system has certa in system-rela ted
limitations and th e driver should be particularly
carefully when using the Park Assist system => 4::,..
One element of the Park Assi st system is the Park­
Pilo~ which is des igned to provide assist an ce
when parkin g.
In vehicles w ith ParkP ilot optical display the scan ­
ned area to the front , rear and to the sides of the
vehicle will be shown on the screen of the radio or
the navigat ion sys tem. W ith in the scope permitted
by the sys tem , the pos it ion of obstacles w ill be

hown in rel at ion to the vehicle .
T he
Park Ass is t system cannot be sw itched on if
the factory -fitted towing bracket is e lectrically co n­

D o not le t the extra convenience afforded by
the Park Assist system tempt you into taking
any risks when driving-this can cause acci­
dents. The system is not a substitute for the
full concentration of the driver.
• Un intentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
A WARNING (Continuec;f) -
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• The surface of certain objects, including
clothing, as well as external noise sources do
not reflect the signals from the Park Assist
system or the parking distance warning sen­
sors or can cause the system to fail to detect
objects or persons.
• Sensors have blind spots in which obsta­
cles and people cannot be detected.
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the sensors will not always detect in­
fants, animals and objects.
..
A WARNING .. p k
When driving into or out of a parking space
using the Park Assist system, the steering
wheel will automatically make quick turning
movements. You could be injured if you at­
tempt to touch the steering wheel spokes.
• The Park Assist system uses parked vehi­
cles, the kerb and other objects as guidance.
Please ensure that the wheels and tyres are not
damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessa­
ry, stop the parking procedure in good time to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
• The sensors may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails,
fences, posts, trees and open or opening tail ­
gates. This can result in damage to your vehi­
cle.
•
If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered. The vehicle can sustain con­
siderable damage if the warning given by the
ParkPilot is ignored. The same applies to the
Park Assist system, for example when parking
behind a lorry o r a motorbike. Therefore, al­
ways check the space in front of and behind
the vehicle and stop the vehicle in good time if
necessary.

Interrupting or automatically stopping the
parking procedure
The Park Ass is t system will stop the parking proce­
dure if th e following happens :
• The 8 button is pressed.
• The ve hi cle spee d when parking is higher than
app roxim ate ly
7 km /h (4 mph).
• The driver operates the steering wheel.
• The parking procedure was not completed with­
in approximately 6 minutes of activating the auto­
matic stee ring intervention .
• There is a system fault (system is temporarily
un ava ilable) .
•
The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate .
r::l The Park Assist system has system-related
l!J limitations . For example, the Park Assist sys­
t e m cannot help you to park the
vehicle on tight
b e nd s.
r::l Wh en parking parallel to the road , a warning
L!J signal can be heard to tell the driver to switch
between driving forwards and reversing because
the change
of direct ion should not take place in the
permanent tone area
of the ParkPilot.
r::l The progress bar in the instrument cluster
l!J display will symbolically indicate the relative
distance remaining .
W If the Park Assist system turns the steering
l!J wheel when the vehicle is stationary , the 6l
symbol appears as well. Depress the brake pedal
so that the steering movement takes place with the
vehicle stationary, keeping the required number of
parking movements to a minimum.
r::l If the parking result worsens after a wheel is
~ changed, the system will first have to syn­
chronise
itself with the new wheel. The synchroni­
sation procedure is carried out
automatically while
the vehicle is in motion. You can support this proc­
ess by driving slowly (less than 20 km/h (12 mph))
through a bend, e.g. in an empty car park. Driver assist systems 215

The park assist system helps the driver by braking
automatically . The automatic braking does not re­
place the driver's responsibility for the accelerator
brake and
clutch ~ £. '
A parking manoeuvre will be interrupted if a speed
of approximately 7 km /h (4 mph) is exceeded .
Automatic brake intervention to avoid
excess speed
An automatic brake intervention may occur to pre­
vent .the
vehicle from exceeding a speed of ap­
proximately 7 km/h (4 mph) . The parking manoeu­
vre can be cont inued after the automatic brake in­
t e rvention .
The automatic br a
ke intervention can take place
once per parking manoeuvre .
216 I While driving
---• The Park Assi~t syste.m will operate only the
steering wheel whrle gettrng out of the parking
space .
The driver operates the accelerator
. ' clutch, gear shaft and brake.
• If it is possible to pull out of the parking space
the Park Assist
system is ended automatically . '
Take
over steering and, if the traffic situation allows
it, pull out of the parking space.
Automatic cancellation for getting out of a
parking space
The Park Assist system will cancel the procedure
of getting out of the parking space if one of the fo l­
lowing happens :
• The vehicle speed when getting out of the park­
ing space is higher than approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph).
• The driver operates the steering wheel.
•
There is a system fault (system is temporarily
unavailable).
• The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate . ~
Automatic brake intervention to minimise
damage
~hen approaching an obstacle, automatic braking
Intervention may occur. The Park Assist system
may bring the vehicle to a standstill before the ob­
stacle under certain conditions , e .g . weather, ultra­
sound detection , conditions of the car, load or in­
cline .
•
Depress the brake pedal ~ &!
The. Park Assist system is ended following an auto­
matic brake intervention to minimise damage.
A WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded bY
the P~rk Assist system tempt you into takin~
any nsks when driving -this can cause accl

• N ever use the CCS In heavy traffic, when
there Is In sufficient distance from the vehicle
In front, on steep or winding roads, or on
slippery road surface s, e.g. on snow, ice, w et
road s, loose chlppings, or on flooded roads.
• N ever use the CCS when driving off-road
or on unsurfaced roads .
• Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
• Always switch cruise control off after use
to avoid unintentional operation.
• lt is dangerous to use a set speed that is
too high for the prevailing road, traffic or
weather conditions.
• The CCS cannot maintain a constant
speed
when travelling downhill. The vehicle
