Parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
The front-rear parking assist
measures the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in front and
behind the vehicle. The system gives acoustic signals and display
messages.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors each in the rear and
front bumper.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.
Control indicator r 3 113.

Driving and operating195
Button D
Parking assist is activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist button D. If the vehicle is
equipped with parking assist and
advanced parking assist 3 197 both
use the same button to operate the
systems.
For activating or deactivating parking
assist, press button D once briefly.
For activating or deactivating
advanced parking assist, press
button D for approx. one second.
If one system is active, it is possible
to switch between both systems by
pressing the button shorter or longer.Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is activated automatically.
The front parking assist can also be activated at a low speed by pressing
the parking assist button D briefly.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
Indication The system warns the driver withacoustic signals against obstacles in
front of or behind the vehicle.
Depending on which of the sensors
are closer to an obstacle, you will hear a buzzing sound of the respective
sensors. The interval between the
sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm, the buzzing is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to obstacles
can be shown in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 117.
On version with Uplevel-Display, the
distance to a front obstacle is
indicated by changing segments.

196Driving and operating
On version with Uplevel-Combi-
Display, the distance to a front and
rear obstacle is indicated by changing distance lines around the vehicle.
The distance indication in the display
can be inhibited and overwritten by
vehicle messages with a higher
priority. Once the distance indication
is overwritten by a vehicle message,
distance is no longer indicated until
parking assist is activated again.
Deactivation
Deactivate the system by pressing
the parking assist button D briefly.
The LED in the button extinguishes
and Park Assist Off will be displayed
in the Driver Information Centre
(DIC).
The system is deactivated
automatically when exceeding a
certain speed.
If button D is pressed once within an
ignition cycle, the front parking assist
is always reactivated when the
vehicle speed goes below a certain
value.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
r illuminates or a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
If the system does not work due to temporary conditions like snow
covered sensors, r illuminates or a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC).
Vehicle messages 3 123.9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the sensor can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.

Driving and operating197Objects with a very small reflection
cross section, like objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist will not detect
objects out of the detection range.
Note
The parking assist system
automatically detects factory-fitted
towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
The sensor may detect a non-
existing object (echo disturbance)
caused by external acoustical or
mechanic disturbances.
Note
If engaging a forward gear and
exceeding a certain speed, the rear
parking assist will be deactivated
when the rear carrier system is
extended.
If engaging reverse at first, the
parking assist will detect the rear
carrier system and provide a buzzing
sound. Press r or D briefly to
deactivate the parking assist.
Advanced parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
The advanced parking assist system manoeuvres the driver into a parking
slot by giving instructions on the
Driver Information Centre and
acoustic signals.
The system uses the sensors of the
parking assist system in combination
with two additional sensors on both
sides of the front bumper and the rear
bumper.
Button D
Advanced parking assist and parking
assist 3 194 both use the same button
to operate the systems. For activating or deactivating parking assist press
button once briefly. For activating or
deactivating advanced parking assist
press button D for approx.
one second.
If one system is active, it can be
switched between both systems by
pressing the button shorter or longer.

200Driving and operating
FaultA message appears in the Driver
Information Centre when:
■ there is a fault in the system
■ the driver did not successfully complete the parking manoeuvre
■ the system is not operational
If an object is detected during parking instructions, Stop is indicated in the
Driver Information Centre. Removing
the object will resume the parking
manoeuvre. If the object is not
removed, the system will be
deactivated. Press button D for
approx. one second to activate the
system and search for a new parking
slot.
Important hints for using the
parking assist systems9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the sensor can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,

Driving and operating201vans). Object identification in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross section, like objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist will not detect
objects out of the detection range.
Note
The parking assist system
automatically detects factory-fitted
towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
It is possible that the sensor detects
a non-existing object (echo
disturbance) caused by external
acoustical or mechanic
disturbances.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
parking space after initiating a
parallel parking manoeuvre.
Note
Before using the advanced parking
assist the first time, the vehicle has
to be driven at least for 40 km to
calibrate the system automatically.
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.
