Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
front and rear parking assist is ready
to operate.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r or D indicates that
the system is ready to operate.
When driving forward with low speed
the front parking assist can also be
activated by pressing the parking
assist button r or D briefly.
Once the button is pressed within an
ignition cycle, the front parking assist
is always reactivated when the
vehicle underruns a certain value.
Indication
The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind and in
front of the vehicle. Depending on
which side the vehicle is closer to an
obstacle, you respectively will hear
acoustic warning signals in the
vehicle. The interval between the
sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to that obstacle.
When the distance is less than about
30 cm, the sound is continuous.
Additionally the distance to obstacles
is shown in the Driver Information Centre.
The distance indication in the Driver
Information Centre can be inhibited
by vehicle messages with a higher
priority. After approving the message
by pressing the SET/CLR button on
the turn signal lever, distance
indication appears again.

160Driving and operating
The instructions in the display show:■ a hint when driving faster than 18 mph,
■ the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected,
■ the direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre,
■ the steering wheel position during parking,
■ for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown.A successful parking manoeuvre is
indicated by the End position symbol.
Pay attention always to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than about 30 cm.
Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parking
slots on the driver side, switch on turn
indicator to the driver side for the
duration of searching.
As soon as turn indicator is switched
off, the system searches for parking
slots on the passenger side again.

Driver Information Centre. Advanced
parking assist indication in the Driver
Information Centre can be inhibited
by vehicle messages with a higher
priority. After approving the message
by pressing the SET/CLR button on
the turn signal lever, advanced
parking assist instructions appear
again and parking manoeuvre can be
continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
■ pushing button D for approx.
one second
■ parking manoeuvre successfully ended
■ driving faster than 18 mph
■ switching off the ignition

162Driving and operating
Notice
After production the advanced
parking assist needs a calibration.
For an optimal parking guidance a
driving distance of at least 6 miles
with many curves is required.
Side blind spot alert The Side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system alerts visually in each exterior mirror, when
detecting objects that may not be
visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
The system's sensors are located in
the bumper on the left and right side
of the vehicle.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect: ■ Vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching.
■ Pedestrians, cyclists or animals.
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forward, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, an amber warning symbol B will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn signal,
the warning symbol B starts flashing
amber as a warning not to change
lanes.
Side blind spot alert is active from
speeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph.
Driving faster than 87 mph
deactivates the system, indicated by
low lighting warning symbols B in
both exterior mirrors. Reducing the speed again will extinguish the
warning symbols. If a vehicle is then
detected in the blind zone, the
warning symbols B will illuminate as
normal on the relevant side.
When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system is
operating.

166Driving and operating
An exclamation mark in a frame
indicates that there is an add on sign
detected which cannot be recognised

The system is active up to a speed of 124 mph depending on the lighting
conditions. At night the system is
active up to a speed of 99 mph.
As soon as the speed becomes
slower than 34 mph the display will be
reset and the content of the traffic sign
page will be cleared, e.g.. when
entering a city zone. The next

Lane departure warning
The lane departure warning system
observes the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving via a front camera. The system detects lane
changes and warns the driver in the
event of an unintended lane change
via visual and acoustic signals.

lane markings are available.
When the system recognises an
unintended lane change, the control
indicator ) changes to yellow and
