.... As
the system is designed for driving on motor
ways and other major roads, it is only active
above a speed of about 65 km/h (may vary in dif
ferent export markets).
Applies to vehicles with side assist*: If you oper
ate the turn signals while the active lane assist
and side assist are active, the steering will be cor
rected just before you cross the lane demarcation
if the side assist detects vehicles approaching
quickly or travelling at about the same speed as
your own vehicle and judges the situation to be
critical. This intervention is intended to keep the
vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist*: The sys
tem does not warn you if you operate the turn
signal before crossing a lane demarcation. In this
case, it assumes that you intend to change lanes.
_&. WARNING
- The system initiates a corrective steering in
put to warn the driver that the vehicle is
about to leave the lane. As the driver you are
always responsible for staying in your own
lane.
- The system can assist you to keep the vehi
cle in the lane, however it is not capable of
driving on its own. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel.
- In certain situations, e.g. during heavy brak
ing, the system may not correct the steer
ing.
- In certain circumstances, not all of the lane
markings may be detected by the camera. A
corrective steering input can only be initi
ated if the system detects a lane marking on
the side in question.
- Variations in the road surface or objects on
the road may be misinterpreted as lane
markings. In this case, the steering may be
corrected unexpectedly or not at all.
- The camera's view might be obstructed, for
example by vehicles travelling in front, rain,
snow, a lot of water on the road, adverse
light or dirt on the windscreen. If this hap-

pens, the active lane assist may not detect
the lane markings or may respond incorrect
ly.
- In certain circumstances, for instance if visi
bility is poor, the setting for the steering in
put may be switched from "early" to "late"
1)
- In certain driving conditions, such as ruts in
the road surface, adverse cambers or side
winds, the assistance provided by the steer
ing correction may be insufficient to keep
the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, the active lane assist
must not be used in poor weather or in diffi
cult or slippery road conditions (such as ice,
fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy rain, snow,
etc.) -risk of accident!

change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".
© Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of less than 15 km/h,
the warning lamp in the exterior mirror will light
up as soon as the other vehicle enters your blind
spot.
If you are overtaking another vehicle quickly, with
a speed differential of more than 15 km/h, the
warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of a lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the
lane. In this case the system may monitor an
other lane and register a vehicle that is not in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors ¢ Fig. 98 must not be obstruc
ted by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any oth
er substances which could impair the function of
the system. For notes on cleaning, please refer to
¢page 236.
.&_ WARNING
-Always watch the road and the area sur
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not a substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi
ble for the safety of lane changes and other
manoeuvres. Driver
assist systems
- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
qui ckly, or if you are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up in time.
- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy
rain, snow or road spray.
- If you are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system may
not detect vehicles in the adjacent lane
because they are outside the area covered
by the sensors.
CD CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by a qualified workshop.

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).
..,.

aids
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.
