Activation
The activation of the system is initiated when the reverse gear is engaged, or
vehicles with the Variant 2 and 3 , also by pressing the symbol key
 » Fig. 180
.
This is confirmed by a short acoustic signal ( the symbol  in the button is lit).
Deactivation
On vehicles with Version 1, the system can be deactivated by moving out of re-
verse gear.
For vehicles with the variants 2 and 3 the system is automatically deactivated
by pressing the symbol key or at a speed over 15 km/h (the symbol
in the
button goes out).

Vehicles with Variant 1
▶ After system activation an acoustic signal sounds for about 3 seconds (there
is no obstacle near the vehicle).
Vehicles with the Variants 2 and 3
▶ After system activation the symbol  flashes in the button.
▶ In the display of the instrument cluster a message about an error of the
ParkPilot system appears (at the same time there is an audible signal).

WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 142, in section Introduction .■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road. It is therefore recommen-
ded that you do not use the system in such situations.
CAUTION
The correct evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure de-
pends on the circumference of the wheels on the vehicle.■
The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size
approved by the manufacturer.
■
Abstain from using the system when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or
a temporary spare wheel.
■
If wheels other than those approved by the manufacturer are mounted, the
resulting position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This
can be avoided by readjusting the system at a specialist garage.
CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind the kerb or on it, the system can also guide
your vehicle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the wheel
rims of your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
Note
■ We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km / h.■The driver can stop the parking process at any time by pressing the symbol
key » Fig. 191
on page 156 or by a driver steering intervention.FunctioningFig. 191
System button
Read and observe and on page 156 first.
The system support is provided in the following manner.
▶ While the parking space search is going on, a measurement and evaluation of
the parking space size is completed.
▶ The display of the instrument cluster (hereinafter only display) shows suita-
ble parking spaces and a parking mode is recommended.
▶ The display shows instructions and information before the start and during
the parking.
▶ The road way is calculated that the vehicle uses during the parking.
▶ The front wheels are automatically rotated during the parking.
Conditions for the system function
The system can look for a parking space only if the following basic conditions
are met.
The system is activated.
The vehicle speed is less than 40 km / h (parallel parking).
The vehicle speed is less than 20 km / h (transverse parking).
The distance to a number of parked vehicles is approximately 0.5 - 1.5 m.
The TCS is activated » page 143, Braking and stabilisation systems .
The system can only carry out the parking if the following basic conditions are
met.
The vehicle is travelling less than about 7 km/h.
The parking procedure takes less than 6 minutes.
There is no driver intervention in the automatic steering operation.

The system is able to find a parking space in a number of parallel and trans-
verse parked vehicles on the passenger's or driver's side.
Process with the parking space search
›
Slowly drive past a row of parked vehicles.
›
Activate the system with the symbol key » Fig. 191
on page 156 .
The system will automatically search for a parking space on the passenger
side.
If the system finds a parking space, then the recommended parking mode is
made and this parking space is included in the display » Fig. 193 on page 157
or » Fig. 194 on page 158 -

Activate the turn signal on the driver's side if you wish to look fro a parking
space on this side of the road. The display changes and the system searches
for a parking space on the driver's side.
Note
If the symbol  (km / h) is shown in the display while you are looking for a
parking space, the vehicle speed should be reduced below 40 km / hr (parallel parking) or below 20 km / hr (Transverse parking).

Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC)
Read and observe
on page 171 first.
The adaptive chassis control (following known as DCC) provides the ability toadjust the shock characteristics for the sporty, normal or comfortable driving
when the corresponding control mode is selected.
The DCC evaluates steering response and road conditions while driving contin-
uously and adjusts the suspension behaviour within the selected driving mode
accordingly.
Mode
Comfort
Read and observe on page 171 first.
This mode is suitable for driving on roads with poorer surface or for long mo- torway journeys.
171Assist systems

Normal
Read and observe on page 171 first.
This mode is suitable for a conventional driving.
Sport
mode
Read and observe
on page 171 first.
This mode is suitable for a sporty driving.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
DCC
The DCC adjusts the chassis for the sporty driving style.
Steering
The power steering is reduced slightly, i.e., the driver needs to exert more
force for steering .
Engine / drive
The vehicle acceleration is more dynamic than in
Normal
mode.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The acceleration is quicker than in
Normal
mode with distance control

ProActive passenger protection
The first level of protection is deactivated » page 173.
Eco
mode
Read and observe
on page 171 first.
This mode is suitable for a relaxed style of driving and helps to save fuel.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
Engine / drive
Vehicle acceleration is more relaxed than in
Normal
mode.
The recommended gear is controlled such to achieve the lowest possible fuel
consumption » page 42.
When the START-STOP system was deactivated manually » page 130, it is au-
tomatically activated.
The automatic gearbox is set automatically to mode E » page 135 .
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Acceleration occurs more relaxed than in Normal

Xenon headlight
The system is in economic mode » page 69. The headlamps are in basic setting
and do not adapt to the direction of travel.
Air conditioning (Climatronic)
The air conditioning is controlled so as to save energy. For this reason, for ex-
ample, it may take longer to reach the desired interior temperature in mode
Normal
.
Note
■ The mode Eco is not available when towing a trailer or when another acces-
sory is connected to the trailer socket. If the vehicle is in drive mode Eco
and a
trailer is hitched up or another accessory is connected, the vehicle is automati-
