..._A W ARN ING 
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.

A  parking  manoeuvre will be interrupted if a speed 
of approximately  7 km /h (4 mph)  is exceeded . 
Automatic brake intervention to avoid

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

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

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
