Aud i magnetic ride is an electronically con­
trolled damping system. This chassis system
assists the dr iver by adapting to the particular
situation through imperceptible control proc­
esses. The
da mping provides individua l modu­
lation of damping forces. For example, with
damping characteristics set to provide greater
comfort, damping is set somewhat harder for
a brief period only
as required, when rounding
a curve and when braking.

Acoustic parking system
Rear acoustic park assist
Applies to vehicles: with 4-channe l acoustic park assist
Acoustic park assist gives a warning about
obstacles behind the vehicle.
D es cription
The rear acoustic park assist (4-channel
acoustic park assist) determines the distance
of the vehicle from an obstacle using ultra­
sonic sensors. The sensors are in the rear
bumper. The volume and the pitch of the

chimes can be adjusted through the menu dis­
p lay
~ page 24 .
The range at which the sensors start to meas­
ure is
a b ou t:
To the side 2 feet (0.60 m)
Center rea r 5 feet (1.60 m)
Activation
The parking assist
is activated when r ev erse
ge ar is engaged . A b rief tone confi rms that
the system is activated .
Backing up
Distance warning when back ing up starts
when an obstacle is detected in the range of
the park assist system . As the d istance de­
creases, the time i nterva l between the audible
tones becomes shorter.
When the d istance is less than 1 foot (0.30
m), the tone becomes cont inuous . At this
poi nt you should stop backing up.
Please note that low objects already signalled
by a warning can disappear from the system 's
detection range and w ill not continue to be
signalled.
Potenti al malfunction s
If a warning buz zer sounds for a few seconds
when the ignition is sw itched on, there is a
system malfunction w ith the acoustic park as­
sist . If the malfunction persists unti l the igni­
tion is switched off , there will be no acoustic
warn ing at the next attempt to activate the
system . Have the problem corrected.
There is no confirmation tone when reverse
gear is engaged if there is a system ma lfunc­
tion .
For the park ing ass ist to operate, the sensors
must be kept clean and free of ice.
_& WARNING
- Sensors have blind spots in which objects
cannot be detected . Pay special attention
to sma ll children and animals. They can- not a
lways be detected by the sensors -
danger of an accident!
- The parking assist cannot rep lace the
driver's attention. The driver alone is re­
sponsible for parking and similar driving maneuvers. Always watch where you are
driving.
(D Note
Low obstacles already signa lled by a warn­
i ng can d isappear from the system's detec­
tion range as they are approached and w ill
not continue to be signalled. Objects such
as barrier chains, trailer draw bars, th in
painted vertical poles, o r fences may not
be detected by the system - risk of dam­
age .
@ Tips
For the parking assist to operate, the sen­
sors must be kept clean and free of snow
and ice.
