Park assist syst*
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.205 General
Parking assistance is used as an aid to parking.
An acoustic signal as well as symbols on the
centre console's display screen indicate the
distance to the detected obstacle.
Parking assistance sound level can be
adjusted during the ongoing acoustic signal
using the centre console's VOL knob or in the
car's menu system MY CAR - see page 144.
Parking assistance is available in two variants:
•Rear only
•Both front and rear.
WARNING
•Parking assistance does not relinquish
the driver's own responsibility during
parking.
•The sensors have blind spots where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•Be aware of e.g. people or animals near
the car.
Function
The system is automatically activated when the
engine is started - the switch's On/Off lamp is
illuminated. If parking assistance is switched
off with the button, the lamp goes out.
Display screen view - showing an obstacle left
front and right rear.
The centre console's display screen shows an
overview of the relationship between the car
and detected obstacle.
Marked sectors show which of the four sen-
sor(s) detected an obstacle. The closer to the
car symbol a selected sector box is, the shorter
the distance between the car and a detected
obstacle.
The frequency of the signal increases the
shorter the distance to an obstacle, in front of
or behind the car. Other sound from the audio
system is muted automatically.
When the distance is within 30 cm the tone is
constant and the active sensor's field nearest
the car is filled in. If the detected obstacle is
within the distance for the constant tone both

General
The parking camera is an assist system and is
activated when reverse gear is engaged (can
be changed in the settings menu, see
page 144).
The camera image is shown on the centre con-
sole's screen.
WARNING
•The parking camera serves as an aid. It
does not relieve the driver of responsi-
bility when reversing.
•The camera has blind spots, where
obstacles cannot be detected.
•Be aware of people and animals in the
vicinity of the car.
CAM button location.
The camera shows what is behind the car and
if something appears from the sides.
The camera shows a wide area behind the car
and part of the bumper and any towbar.
Objects on the screen may appear to tilt slightly
- this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the display screen may be closer
to the car than they appear to be on the
screen.
If another view is active the parking camera
system takes over automatically and the cam-
era image is displayed on the screen.When reverse gear is engaged two unbroken
lines are shown graphically which illustrate
where the car's rear wheels will roll with the
current steering wheel angle, this facilitates
tight parking, reversing into tight spaces and
for hitching a trailer. The car's approximate
exterior dimensions are also illustrated by two
dashed lines, the park assist lines can be deac-
tivated in the settings menu.
If the car is also equipped with parking assis-
tance sensors* then their information is dis-
played graphically as coloured fields in order to
illustrate the distance to detected obstacles,
see page 205.
The camera is active approx. 5 seconds after
reverse gear has been disengaged or until the
car's speed exceeds 10 km/h.

BLIS* – Blind Spot Information System
04
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.211 General information on BLIS
G021426
BLIS camera1
Indicator lamp
BLIS symbol
BLIS is an information system based on cam-
era technology that under certain conditions
can help the driver to notice vehicles moving in
the same direction as the host vehicle in the so-
called "blind spot".
WARNING
The system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving style and use
of the rearview mirrors. It can never replace
the driver's attention and responsibility. The
responsibility for changing lanes safely
always rests with the driver.
The system is designed to work most effec-
tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-lane
highways.
When a camera (1) has detected a vehicle
inside the blind spot zone the indicator lamp (2)
illuminates with a constant glow.
NOTE
The lamp illuminates on the side of the car
where the system has detected the vehicle.
If the car is overtaken on both sides at the
same time then both lamps illuminate.
BLIS advises the driver with a message if a fault
arises in the system. If for example the sys-
tem's cameras are obscured then the BLIS
indicator lamp flashes and a message is shown
on the information display. In such cases,
check and clean the lenses.If necessary, the system can be switched off
temporarily, see the section "Activate/deacti-
vate".
Blind spots
A = approx. 9.5 m and B = approx. 3.0 m.
1NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.

BLIS* – Blind Spot Information System

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.213 Cleaning
In order to work most effectively the BLIS cam-
era lenses must be clean. The lenses can be
cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.
Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not
scratched.
IMPORTANT
The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice
or snow. If necessary, brush snow away
from the lenses.

Limitations
In some situations the BLIS indicator lamp may
illuminate despite there being no other vehicle
within the blind spot.
NOTE
If the BLIS indicator lamp illuminates on iso-
lated occasions despite there being no
other vehicle within the blind spot then this
does not mean that a fault has arisen in the
system.
In the event of a fault in the BLIS system the
display shows the text

Service required.
The following illustrations show examples of
situations where the BLIS indicator lamp may
illuminate even if there is no other vehicle within
the blind spot.
