Driving and operating165
A successful parking manoeuvre is
indicated by the 'End position'
symbol.
Always pay attention to the sound of the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm.
Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parking
slots on the driver side, switch on turn
indicator to the driver side for the
duration of searching.
As soon as turn indicator is switched
off, the system searches for parking
slots on the passenger side again.
Display priorities
After activating the advanced parking assist, a message appears in the DIC.
Advanced parking assist indication in
the DIC can be inhibited by vehicle
messages with a higher priority. After approving the message by pressing
the SET/CLR button on the turn signal
lever, advanced parking assist
instructions appear again and the
parking manoeuvre can be continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
■ short press of D if advanced
parking assist and front-rear
parking assist are activated
■ long press of D if advanced
parking assist is activated
■ the parking manoeuvre successfully ended
■ driving faster than 18 mph
■ switching off the ignitionDeactivation by the driver or by the
system during manoeuvring will be indicated by Parking Deactivated in
the DIC.
Fault
A message appears in the DIC 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
DIC. Removing the object will resume the parking manoeuvre. If the object
is not removed, the system will be
deactivated. Press D for approx.
one second to activate the system
and search for a new parking slot.
166Driving and operating
Basic notes on parking assistsystems9 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 system 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 in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and
correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Notice
The parking assist system can be
activated and deactivated by
changing the settings in the
Info-Display. If a trailer coupling is
attached, it must be selected in the
menu.
Vehicle personalisation 3 104.
Notice
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.
Notice
After use the advanced parking
assist requires a calibration. For
optimal parking guidance, a driving
distance of at least 22 miles,
including a number of bends, is
required.
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.
168Driving and operating
Side blind spot alert is designed to
ignore stationary objects such as
guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and
beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming
vehicles are not detected.
Fault
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances.
Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the
rear bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice or slush. Cleaning
instructions 3 225.
In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the DIC. Seek the
assistance of a workshop in case of a
permanent fault.
Rear view camera
The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing by displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle.
The view of the camera is displayed
in the Colour-Info-Display.9 Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view and the
advanced parking assist sensors,
e.g. below the bumper or
underneath the vehicle, are not
displayed.
Do not reverse the vehicle by only looking at the Info-Display and
check the surrounding area
behind and around the vehicle
before reversing.
Activation
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted between the
number plate lights and has a viewing angle of 130°.
Driving and operating169
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guiding lines
Dynamic guiding lines are horizontal
lines in 1 metre intervals projected on
the picture to define the distance to
shown objects.Trajectory lane of the vehicle is
shown in accordance with the
steering angle.
The function can be deactivated in the Settings menu in the Info-Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 104.
Warning symbols
Warning symbols are indicated as
triangles 9 on the picture, which show
obstacles detected by the rear
sensors of the advanced parking
assist.
Additionally 9 appears on the top line
of the Info-Display with a warning to
check the vehicle surrounding.
The top line of the display can be
cleared by pressing the multifunction
knob.

Vehicles with tyre repair kit
Some tools and the towing eye are
located together with the tyre repair
kit in a tool box in the load
compartment below the floor cover.
Vehicles with tyre repair kit and

Wheels and tyres
Wheels
On vehicles with Diesel engines no
steel rims and only special, for this
vehicle approved alloy wheels are
permitted.
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter
tyres 3 242.
