tered air outside the vehicle from entering the
ve hicle interior . We recommend switching recir­
culation mode on when driving through a tunne l
or when sitting in traffic

Parking System
The rear acoustic park assist system is integrated
in the rear of the vehicle and the rear view cam­
era is integrated in the rear lid
c::> page 109.
A WARNING
-
- The rear view camera has blind spots, in
which objects cannot be detected. Be espe­
cially careful to check for small children and
animals before backing up. Small children and animals will not always be detected by
the sensors.
General Information
Applies to vehicles: with parking system (rear, with rear view
camera)
Fig. 123 Covered ar ea (D and uncovered area @ of the rea r
view came ra
Fig. 124 T runk lid: Location of the rear v iew camera
Sensors in the bumper
Sensors are located in the rear bumpers . If these
detect an obstacle, audible signals warn you . The
range at which the sensors begin to measure is
approximately:
To the side 2 ft (0.60 m)
Center rear 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Distance warning when reversing starts when an
obstacle is detected in the range of the parking
108
assist system. As the distance decreases, the
time interval between the audible tones becomes
shorter.
When the distance is less than 1ft (0.30 m), the
tone becomes continuous. At this point you
should stop backing up.
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same, the
volume of the distance signal chime is gradually
reduced after about 4 seconds (does not affect
the continuous signal tone). Approaching anoth­
er obstacle will cause the distance signal to
sound again at the normal volume.
Rear view camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by the
rear v iew camera
c::> fig. 123 @. Objects that are
not in the area covered @are not shown on the
MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with
the rear view camera in a traffic-free location or
parking lot to become familiar with the system,
the orientation lines, and their function. When
doing this, there should be good light and weath­
er conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
-you are driving in reverse gear from a level sur­
face onto an incline, or a downward slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear toward protrud­
ing objects,
- the vehicle is carrying too much load in the
rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces diminishes if:
- the rear view camera does not provide a reliable
image, for example, in poor visibility conditions
or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to sun glare and reflection .
Caring for the rear view camera lens
The rear view camera is located above the rear li­
cense plate bracket. For the parking assist to op-
erate, the lens
c::> fig . 124 must be kept clean : .,._

Parking System
-You can change the volume and pitch of the
signals as well as the display

Reverse Parking
App lies to veh icles: w ith pa rking system (rea r, w ith rea r v iew
camera)
Parking mode 1 can be used when parking in a
garage or parking space.

tation lines

A WARNING
- The rear view camera does not show the en­
tire area behind the vehicle¢
page 108,
fig . 123.
Watch out especially for small chil­
dren and animals . The rear view camera can­
not always detect them, posing risk of an
accident!
- Please note that objects not touching the
ground can appear to be further away than
they really are (for example, the bumper of
a parked vehicle, a trailer hitch, or the rear
of a truck). In this case, you should not use
the help lines to help with parking, which poses danger of an accident!
cg) Note
- Low obstacles already signaled by a warning can disappear from the system's detection
range as they are approached and will not
continue to be signaled. Objects such as
barrier chains, trailer draw bars, thin paint­
ed vertical poles or fences may not be de­
tected by the system, posing risk of dam­ age.
- In the MMI display, the direction of travel of the vehicle rear is represented depending on
the steering wheel angle. The vehicle front
swings out more than the vehicle rear. Main­
tain plenty of distance from an obstacle so
that your outside mirror or a corner of your
vehicle does not collide with any obstacles -
danger of accident!

Parking next to obstacles
When there is an obstacle (such as a wall) next to
the parking spot, choose a spot with more space
on the sides. Position the long side of the blue
area so that there is sufficient space from the
curb. The area must not be on the curb. You will
also need to start turn ing the steer ing wheel
much earlier . There should be a sufficient amount
of space between the curb and the blue curve,
and the blue curve
c::> fig. 128 must not touch the
curb.
A WARNING
- The rear view camera does not show the en­
tire area behind the vehicle
