Storage79● Do not place any objects on theload compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not
cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or
hinder the freedom of movement
of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 223) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph.
The permissible roof load is
60 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

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 parking assist makes parking easier by measuring the distance
between the vehicle and obstacles,
and giving acoustic signals.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper. If
the vehicle is equipped with a front
parking assist, the system consists of
four additional ultrasonic parking
sensors in the front bumper.
Control indicator r 3 96.
Operation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
front and rear parking assist is ready
to operate.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
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 r is pressed 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

156Driving and operatingbeforehand. 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.
The system is deactivated
automatically when exceeding
16 mph.
If the vehicle is equipped with rear
parking assist only, the system
automatically switches off when
reverse gear is disengaged. Manual
deactivation is also possible by
pressing r.
Indication An obstacle is indicated by a buzzing
sound. The interval between the
sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm, the buzzing is continuous.Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
r illuminates or a vehicle message
is displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Additionally, r illuminates or a
vehicle message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre if a
malfunction of the system due to
temporary conditions like snow
covered sensors is detected.
Vehicle messages 3 105.
Important hints for using the
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. If
such obstacles leave the detection
area of the sensors during
approach of the vehicle, a
continuous warning tone will
sound.Caution
Performance of the sensors can
be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
systems can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification 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.
The parking assist system will not
avoid a collision with objects which are out of the detection range of
the sensors.

Driving and operating157Notice
The parking assist system
automatically detects factory-fitted
towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
The sensor may detect a non-
existent object (echo disturbance)
caused by external acoustic or
mechanical disturbances.
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 briefly to
deactivate the parking assist.
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.9 Warning
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 behind and
around the vehicle before
reversing.
Activation
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted in the tailgate handle and has a viewing angle of
130°.

158Driving and operatingDue to the high position of the camera
the rear bumper can be seen on the
display as a guide to position.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guiding lines
Dynamic guiding lines are horizontal
lines in 1 metre intervals projected on
the picture to define the distance to
shown objects.
Trajectory lane of the vehicle is
shown in accordance with the
steering angle.
The function can be deactivated in the
menu Settings in the Info-Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 111.
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.
