Parking assist
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles. It
is the driver, however, who bears full
responsibility for parking.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in each of the front
and rear bumpers.
Control indicator r 3 98.

202Vehicle care
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for towing and not recovering the vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Open&Start system 3 22.
Transmission in neutral.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
must be towed facing forwards, not faster than 80 km/h nor further than
100 km. In all other cases and when
the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Manual transmission automated
3 142.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and refit the cover.
Towing another vehicle
Disengage cap at bottom and remove
downwards.
