front-end crashes.
Forward collision alert uses the front
camera system in the windscreen to
detect a vehicle directly ahead, in
your path, within a distance of approx.
60 metres.
A vehicle ahead is indicated by
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning

Driving and operating155
Vehicles with rear or front-rear
parking assist are equipped with
button r.
Vehicles with front-rear parking assist
and advanced parking assist are
recognisable by button D.
Advanced parking assist, see section
below.
Activation and deactivation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
front and rear parking assist is ready
to operate.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r or D indicates that
the system is ready to operate.
The front parking assist can also be
activated at a speed up to 7 mph with
a brief press of the parking assist
button.
If the r or D button is switched on
once within an ignition cycle, the front parking assist is deactivated at a
speed above 7 mph. It will be
reactivated if vehicle speed has not
exceeded 16 mph beforehand. If vehicle speed has exceeded 16 mph
beforehand, front parking assist
remains deactivated when speed
drops below 7 mph.When the system is deactivated, the
LED in the button extinguishes and
Park Assist Off pops-up in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC).
The system is deactivated
automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 16 mph.
Indication
The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
1.5 metres and in front up to
1.2 metres . Depending on which side
of the vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you will hear acoustic warning signals
in the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm, the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 93 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour-Info-Display 3 98.

Vehicle battery The vehicle is equipped with a lead
acid battery.
Vehicles with stop-start system will be
equipped with an AGM battery which
is not a lead acid battery.
The vehicle battery is maintenance-
free provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the vehicle battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
four weeks can lead to vehicle battery discharge. Disconnect the clamp from
the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
The anti-theft alarm siren must be
deactivated as follows: Switch the
ignition on then off, disconnect the
vehicle's battery within 15 seconds.

Replacing the vehicle battery
Notice
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this section may lead to
temporary deactivation of the stop-
start system.
When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal. If a
ventilation hole is open in this area, it
must be closed off with a dummy cap, and the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Only use batteries that allow the fuse
box to be mounted above the vehicle
battery.
Vehicles with stop-start system
Be sure to have the AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) battery replaced with another AGM battery.
