General information
9Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
System limitations
The system is designed to warn only for vehicles, but may react also onother objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
■ on winding roads
■ when weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
■ when the sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or
windscreen damage
Following distance
indication
The following distance indication
displays the distance to a preceding
moving vehicle. The front camera in
the windscreen is used to detect the
distance of a vehicle directly ahead in the vehicle's path. It is active at

the instrument cluster 3 92 or a
message is indicated in the Driver Information Centre.
Front-rear 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. It informs and
warns the driver by giving acoustic
signals and display indication.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors each in the rear and front bumper.
If the vehicle is equipped with
advanced parking assist, the system
has six ultrasonic parking sensors
each in both the rear and front
bumper.

158Driving and operating

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 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 95 or,
depending on the version, on the Colour-Info-Display 3 101.

Driving and operating159
The distance to rear and front
obstacles is displayed by changing

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.

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).
