Advanced parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
the advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle into a parallel or
perpendicular parking slot.
Instructions are given in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 95 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour-Info-Display 3 101 , supported
by acoustic signals.
The driver must control acceleration,
braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically.
Advanced parking assist can only be
activated when driving forwards.

160Driving and operating
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist, see previous section. Both
systems use the same sensors in the front and rear bumper.
Button D and operation logic
Advanced parking assist and front-
rear parking assist both use the same
button for activation and deactivation:
A brief press of D activates or
deactivates the parking assist.
A long press of D (approx.
one second) activates or deactivates
the advanced parking assist, see
separate description below.
Button logic operates the systems by
pressing D as follows:
■ If only front-rear parking assist is active, a brief press deactivates
front-rear parking assist.
■ If only front-rear parking assist is active, a long press activates
advanced parking assist.
■ If only advanced parking assist is active and the system is in parking
slot searching mode, a brief press
activates front-rear parking assist.
■ If only advanced parking assist is active and the system is in park
guiding mode, a brief press
deactivates advanced parking
assist.
■ If only advanced parking assist is active, a long press deactivates
advanced parking assist.
■ If forward gear or neutral is selected, a brief press activates ordeactivates only front parking
assist.
■ If reverse gear is selected, a brief press activates or deactivates frontand rear parking assist.Activation
When searching for a parking slot, the
system is ready to operate with a long press of D.
The system recognises and
memorises (10 metres for parallel
parking slots or six metres for
perpendicular parking slots) even in
the parking assist mode. A long press
of D activates advanced parking
assist to start parking manoeuvre.
The system can only be activated at
a speed up to 18 mph and the system searches for a parking slot at a speed
up to 18 mph.

Driving and operating161
The maximum allowed parallel
distance between the vehicle and a
row of parked cars is 1.8 metres for
parallel parking and 2.5 metres for
perpendicular parking.
FunctionalityParking slot searching mode
Vehicles with indication in the Driver
Information Centre
Select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot in Driver Information
Centre (DIC) by pressing SET/CLR.
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) and an acoustic signal is given.
Vehicles with indication on the
Colour-Info-Display
Select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot by tapping the icon 6 or
7 on the Colour-Info-Display.

162Driving and operating
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Colour-Info-Display
and an acoustic signal is given.
If the driver does not stop the vehicle within 10 metres for parallel parking
slots or six metres for perpendicular
parking slots after a parking slot is
proposed, the system starts to search
for another suitable parking slot.
Park guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the
system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres for parallel parking slots or
six metres for perpendicular parkingslots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parkingslots on the driver side, switch on turn
signal indicator on the driver side for
the duration of the search.
As soon as the turn signal indicator is switched off, the system searches for
parking slots on the passenger side again.Display indication
The instructions on the display show:
■ General hints and warning messages.
■ A hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in
guiding mode.
■ The demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected.
■ The direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre.
■ The demand to shift into reverse or
first gear.
■ The demand to accelerate or brake.
■ For some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the DriverInformation Centre (DIC).

Driving and operating163
■ The successful completion of theparking manoeuvre indicated by a
pop-up symbol and a chime.
■ The cancelling of a parking manoeuvre.
Display priorities
Advanced parking assist indication in the DIC can be inhibited by vehicle
messages with a higher priority. After
approving the message by pressing
SET/CLR on the turn signal lever,
advanced parking assist instructions
appear again and the parking
manoeuvre can be continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
■ a long press of D
■ parking manoeuvre successfully ended
■ driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot search
■ driving faster than 5 mph during parking guidance
■ driver interference on steering wheel detected■ exceeding number of maximumgear changes: eight cycles when
parallel parking or five cycles when
perpendicular parking
■ switching off the ignition
Deactivation by the driver or by the system during manoeuvring will beindicated by Parking Deactivated on
the display. Additionally, an acoustic
signal sounds.
Fault
A message appears when:
■ There is a fault in the system.
■ The driver did not successfully complete the parking manoeuvre.
■ The system is not operational.
■ Any of the deactivation reasons described above apply.
If an object is detected during parking
instructions, Stop is indicated on the
display. Removing the object will
resume the parking manoeuvre. If the
object is not removed, the system will
be deactivated. A long press of D
will activate the system and search for a new parking slot.Basic notes on 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 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

164Driving and operatingcorrect 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
It is possible that the sensor detects a non-existing object caused by
echo disturbance from external
acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false
warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left
or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
available parking space after
initiating a parking manoeuvre. The
system may recognize an entry, a
gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as a parking slot. After
selecting reverse gear the system
will start a parking manoeuvre. Take
care regarding the availability of the
suggested parking slot.
Surface irregularities, e.g. on
construction zones, are not detected
by the system. The driver accepts
responsibility.
Notice
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.
Notice
After production, the system
requires a calibration. For optimal
parking guidance, a driving distance
of at least 6 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.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear
bumper on both sides 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.

Driving and operating165
When the system detects a vehicle inthe 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.
Side blind spot alert is active from
speeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph.
Driving faster than 87 mph
deactivates the system, indicated by
low lighting warning symbols B in
both exterior mirrors. Reducing the
speed again will extinguish the
warning symbols. If a vehicle is then
detected in the blind zone, the
warning symbols B will illuminate as
normal on the relevant side.
When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system is operating.
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the Info-Display,
vehicle personalisation 3 106.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
Detection zones
The detection zones start at the rear
bumper and extend approx.
three metres rearwards and to the
sides. The height of the zone is
approx. between 0.5 metres and
two metres off the ground.
Side blind spot alert is designed to
ignore stationary objects, e.g.
guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and
beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming
vehicles are not detected.Fault
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances and will
increase in wet conditions.
Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the
rear bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy
rainstorms. Cleaning instructions
3 227.
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 Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
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.

166Driving and operating9Warning
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°.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
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.
Display settings
Brightness and contrast can be set by
tapping the touch screen display
when rear view camera is active.
