Parallel Parking, PerpendicularParking, Park Out Assist
WARNINGS
You must remain in your vehiclewhen the system turns on. At alltimes, you are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle, supervising thesystem and intervening if required. Failureto take care may result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle, serious personalinjury or death.
The sensors may not detect objectsin heavy rain or other conditions thatcause disruptive reflections.
The system scans the area adjacent toboth sides of your vehicle to locate asuitable parking space.
The system informs you when it locates asuitable parking space. When you stopyour vehicle, the system takes control ofthe steering to guide your vehicle into theparking space.
Park Out Assist automatically steers yourvehicle out of a parallel parking space(hands-free) while you control theaccelerator, gearshift and brakes. Thesystem visually and audibly instructs youto enter traffic.
The system may not correctly operate inany of the following conditions:
•a spare tire or a significantly worn tiremore than the other tires is used
•you use a tire size not recommendedby us
•you try to park on a tight curve
•if the edge of the neighboring parkedvehicle is high off the ground (forexample, a bus, tow truck or flatbedtruck)
•the weather conditions are poor (heavyrain, snow, fog, etc).
Note:Keep the sensors, located on thebumper or fascia, free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. Covered sensorscan affect the system's accuracy. Do notclean the sensors with sharp objects.
Do not use the system if:
•You have attached a foreign object(bike rack or trailer) to the front or rearof your vehicle or close to the sensors.
•You have attached an overhangingobject (surfboard) to the roof.
•A foreign object damages or obstructsthe front or rear bumper or sidesensors.
•The correct tire size is not in use on yourvehicle (for example, a mini-spare tire).
Using Active Park Assist - ParallelParking
Press the button located on thecenter console near the gearshiftlever once.
When driving at a speed less than 19 mph(30 km/h) the system automatically scansboth sides of your vehicle for an availableparking space. The system displays amessage and a corresponding graphic toindicate it is searching for a parking space.Use the direction indicator to selectsearching either to the left-hand side orright-hand side of your vehicle.
Note:If you do not make a selection thesystem will default to the passenger's side.

Inflating the Tire
WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tire prior tousing the temporary mobility kit. Ifthere are any cracks, bumps orsimilar damage do not attempt to inflatethe tire.
Do not stand directly beside the tirewhile the compressor is operating.
Watch the sidewall of the tire. If anycracks, bumps or similar damageappears, switch off the compressorimmediately and deflate the tire using thepressure relief valve B.
WARNINGS
The sealant contains natural rubberlatex. Avoid contact with skin orclothing. If this happens, rinse theaffected areas immediately with plenty ofwater and contact a physician.
If the tire inflation pressure does notreach the recommended pressurewithin 10 minutes, the tire may havesuffered excessive damage, making atemporary repair impossible. Do notcontinue driving with this tire.
Screwing the sealant bottle onto thebottle holder will pierce the seal ofthe sealant bottle. Do not unscrewthe sealant bottle from the bottle holderprior to completing a temporary repair asthe sealant will escape.
If you experience heavy vibrations,unsteady steering behavior or noiseswhile driving, reduce your speed anddrive with caution to a place where it issafe for you to stop your vehicle. Recheckthe tire and its pressure. If the tire pressureis less than 45 psi (3 bar) or if there are anycracks, bumps or similar damage visible,do not continue driving with this tire.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To make sure the front and rear tires ofyour vehicle wear evenly and last longer,we recommend that you swap the tiresfrom front to rear and vice versa at regularintervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles(5000 and 10000 kilometers).
WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of thetires when you are parking.
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowlyand approach it with the wheels atright-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreignobjects and uneven wear of the tread.Uneven wear could mean that the wheelalignment is outside specification.
Check the tire pressures (including thespare) when cold, every two weeks.
USING WINTER TIRES
If winter tires are used you must inflatethem to the same tire pressures as thoselisted in the tire pressure table. See TirePressures (page 273).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-freeroads.
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtires.
If your vehicle has wheel trims,remove them before fitting snowchains.
Only use snow chains of 10 millimeters orsmaller.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Note:The anti-lock braking system willcontinue to operate normally.
Vehicles with Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 166).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNING
The tire pressure monitoring systemis not a substitute for manuallychecking tire pressures. You shouldperiodically check tire pressures using apressure gauge. Failure to correctlymaintain tire pressures could increase therisk of tire failure, loss of control, vehiclerollover and personal injury.
You must check the tire pressures(including the spare tire where applicable)every two weeks when the tires are cold.
You must inflate the tires to the correctpressure.
See Wheels and Tires (page 260).The tirepressures are also on the tire inflationpressure label (located on the edge ofdriver door or the B-Pillar).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine As a driver assistance feature, your vehiclehas a tire pressure monitoring system. Awarning lamp will illuminate when one ormore of the tires are significantlyunder-inflated. If the low tire pressurewarning lamp illuminates, you should stopyour vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,check the tires and inflate them to thecorrect pressure.
Driving on under-inflated tires can:
•Cause them to overheat.
•Lead to tire failure.
•Reduce fuel efficiency.
•Reduce tire life.
•Affect vehicle handling or stoppingability.
The system is not a substitute for correcttire maintenance.
You must maintain the correct tirepressures, even if low tire pressure has notilluminated the warning lamp.
The tire pressure monitoring system has asystem malfunction indicator to warn youwhen the system is not operating correctly.The malfunction indicator and low tirepressure warning lamp have a combinedfunction. When the system detects amalfunction, the warning lamp will flashfor approximately one minute and thenremain illuminated. This sequence willoccur every time you switch the ignition onwhile the malfunction remains. The systemhas detected a fault that requires service.
When the malfunction indicator isilluminated, the system may not be ableto detect or signal low tire pressures. Amalfunction may occur for a variety ofreasons, including the installation of areplacement tire or wheel that preventsthe system from functioning correctly.Always check the tire pressure monitoringsystem malfunction warning after
replacing one or more tires or wheels onyour vehicle. Make sure the replacementtires or wheels allow the system tocontinue to function correctly. See Whenthe Temporary Spare Tire is Installedin this section.
Changing Tires With a TirePressure Monitoring System
You should always have tires serviced byan authorized dealer.
Note:Each road wheel and tire is fitted witha tire pressure sensor located inside thewheel and tire assembly cavity. The pressuresensor attaches to the valve stem. The tirecovers the pressure sensor and it is notvisible unless the tire is removed. Take carewhen changing the tire to avoid damagingthe sensor.
Understanding the Tire PressureMonitoring System
The system measures the pressure in thefour road tires and sends the tire pressurereadings to your vehicle.
The system detects this lower pressure asbeing significantly below the correctinflation pressure and the warning lampilluminates. You must inflate the tires tothe correct pressure.
