aids
General notes
Applies to vehicles: with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car
¢page 93.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicle
¢ page 94. On vehicles with park assist, the
area detected at the side of the vehicle ®
¢page 94, Fig. 101 is also monitored.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicle into spaces par
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb ¢ page 95.
.&_ WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur
rounding the vehicle. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu
vres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis
played by the system -risk of accident!
- Sensors have blind spots in which neither
people nor objects are registered. It is par
ticularly important to ensure that there are
no small children or animals near the vehi
cle -risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle and make full use of the
rear-view mirrors.
CD CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences Parking
aids
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc
tures, such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note that you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.
{D) Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
- To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend that you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can adjust the volume of the beeps.
- To ensure that the acoustic parking aid
works properly, the sensors must be kept
clean and free of snow and ice.
- There is a slight delay in the picture display.
Rear parking aid
Description
Applies to vehicles: with rear parking aid
The rear parking aid is an acoustic parking sys
tem.
Description
Sensors are located in the rear bumper. When the
sensors detect an obstacle, you are alerted by
acoustic signals (beeps).

tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is
less than approx. 0.30 m away from the obstacle.
Stop reversing immediately ¢.&. in General notes

lines indicate the anticipated path of the vehicle,
depending on the steering wheel angle. A white
segment indicates an obstacle that has been de

represent objects detected within the path of
travel. The closer the vehicle gets to the obstacle
the closer the segments move towards the vehi

out of spaces parallel to the kerb. The parking
space can be located between two vehicles or be
hind one vehicle. The park assist takes over the
steering while the driver is parking the vehicle in
the usual way.
The parking system plus is an integral compo
nent of the park assist ¢ page 94 and helps you
during the parking manoeuvre.
The park assist sensors are located on the sides
of the front and rear bumpers. Please ensure that
the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and
any other substances which could impair the
function of the system. Notes on cleaning
¢page 236.
In short parking spaces, the parking aid warning
tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is
less than approx. 0.20 m away from the obstacle.
Stop moving immediately!
A WARNING
- Please observe the safety warnings ¢ & in
General notes on page 93.
- Please note that the park assist only han
dles the steering. As the driver you are al
ways responsible for braking and accelerat
ing.
- It is the driver's responsibility to decide
whether a parking space shown in the dis
play is suitable for the vehicle.
- The front of the vehicle swings out during
the parking manoeuvre. Please take all nec
essary measures to ensure that other road
users are not endangered.
- The steering wheel turns rapidly on its own
when parking the vehicle and leaving the
space. Injury may result if a person reaches
between the spokes on the steering wheel
when it is turning.
CD CAUTION
- Please observe the safety warnings ¢0 in
General notes on page 93.
- In certain situations, the park assist will
guide the vehicle onto or across the kerb,
for instance if other vehicles are parked on
the kerb. You should always be ready to take
96 over
the steering wheel in order to prevent
damage to the tyres and/or wheel rims.
- Certain conditions in and around the park
ing space can cause unexpected results
when parking.
- Objects such as pillars, posts, etc.
Road surfaces such as loose gravel, snow,
ice, etc.
CD CAUTION
- The sensors may not always be able to de
tect objects such as trailer draw bars, thin
rails, fences, posts, waste bins and trees,
etc. This could result in damage to your car.
- Please note that the system may not always
be able to detect the surface of certain ob
jects or substances, such as wire fences or
powder snow, etc. You should therefore
check that the parking space is really large
enough before parking the vehicle.
- Please note that low obstacles detected by
the system may no longer be registered by
the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning.
Failure to respond to a parking system
warning can result in damage to your vehi
cle and other property. Please bear this in
mind, for example, when using the park as
sist to park behind a truck. Always keep a
close watch on the area in front of and be
hind the vehicle while parking, and inter
vene promptly if necessary.
- To prevent damage to the sensors when
washing the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner or a steam cleaner, do not hold the
cleaner less than 10 cm away from the sen
sors and do not keep the cleaner pointed di
rectly at the sensors.
({D Note
- The electronic stabilisation control (ES()
must not be switched off during the parking
manoeuvre ¢page 104.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the
vehicle on tight bends.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Parking
aids
- The best parking results will be achieved if
you position the vehicle as parallel as possi
ble to the line of parked cars or the kerb be
fore you start the actual parking manoeu
vre.
- If there are suitable parking spaces on both
sides of the road (for instance on a one-way
street), you can change the direction of the
turn signals to park on the other side, even
if you have already activated the park assist.

«]} Note
You can drive on if the warning/indicator lamp

Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not give full braking effect for
the first 400 km, they must first be "bedded in".
However, you can compensate for the slightly re
duced braking effect by applying more pressure
on the brake pedal. Avoid placing a heavy load on
the brakes during the running-in period.
Wear The rate of wear on the brake pads depends a
great deal on how you drive and the conditions in
which the vehicle is operated. Negative factors
are, for instance, city traffic, frequent short trips
or hard driving with abrupt starts and stops.
Noises Brake noise may develop in certain situations, de
pending on the speed, braking force and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and relative hu
midity).
Effect of moisture and salt
In certain conditions, such as in heavy rain, or af
ter washing the car or driving through water, the
full braking effect can be delayed by moisture (or
in winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads. The
brakes should be "dried" by pressing the pedal to
restore full braking effect.
When you are driving at higher speeds with the
windscreen wipers on, the brake pads are very
briefly brought into contact with the brake discs.
This automatic process which goes unnoticed by
the driver is carried out at regular intervals and is
intended to improve braking response in wet con-
ditions. ..,..
