124Driving and operating
Where the limit speed cannot be
maintained, e.g. when driving on a steep decline, the limit speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre.
Increase limit speed
The limit speed can be increased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping switch <
repeatedly.
Reduce limit speed
The limit speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping switch ]
repeatedly.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency it is
possible to exceed the limit speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
The limit speed will flash in the Driver Information Centre during this period.
Release the accelerator pedal and
the speed limiter function is
reactivated once a speed lower than
the limit speed is obtained.Deactivation
Press switch §: speed limiter is
deactivated and the vehicle can be
driven normally.
The limit speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reactivation
Press switch R. The speed limiter
function is reactivated.
Deleting the limit speed
Press switch U.
Yellow control indicator U
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
Parking assist
The parking assist makes reverse
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the rear of the
vehicle and obstacles. It is the driver,
however, who bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre.
The system consists of four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Notice
Attached parts in the detection area
cause system malfunction.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system switches itself on
automatically. Readiness for
operation is indicated by a brief
acoustic alarm.
An obstacle is indicated by buzzers.
The interval between the buzzers
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
Driving and operating125
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 1 ft, the buzzer
is continuous.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 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,
vans). 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.
Deactivation
It is possible to deactivate or
temporarily deactivate the system.
Temporary deactivation
Temporarily deactivate the system by
pressing the r button on the
instrument panel with the ignition on
and reverse gear engaged. Control
indicator in the button illuminates.
When reverse gear is selected no
acoustic signal will sound, indicating
deactivation.
The function is reactivated by
pressing button r again or the next
time the ignition is switched on.
Permanent deactivation
Permanently deactivate the system
by pressing and holding the r
button on the instrument panel for
approx. 3 seconds with the ignition on and reverse gear engaged. Control
indicator in the button illuminates
continuously.
The system is deactivated and will not operate. When reverse gear is
selected no acoustic signal will
sound, indicating deactivation.
The function is reactivated by
pressing and holding button r for
approx. 3 seconds.
