the minimum, the distance may no longer be
shown.

The warning displays show the distance
between the sensors and the obstacle. The
warning display for the front area is in the
instrument cluster. The warning display for
the rear area is located on the headliner in the
rear compartment.
The warning display for each side of the vehi-
cle is divided into five yellow and two red seg-
ments. PARKTRONIC is operational if opera-
tional readiness indicator =lights up.
The selected transmission position and the
direction in which the vehicle is rolling deter-
mine which warning display is active when the
engine is running.

Active Parking Assist is switched on automat-
ically when driving forwards. The system is
operational at speeds of up to approximately
22 mph (35 km/h). While in operation, the
system independently locates and measures
parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist will only detect parking
spaces:
Rparallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel
Rthat are parallel to the direction of travel
and at least 59 in (1.5 m) wide
Rthat are parallel to the direction of travel
and at least 39.5 in (1.0 m) longer than your
vehicle
Rthat are at right angles to the direction of
travel and at least 39.5 in (1.0 m) wider
than your vehicle
iNote that Active Parking Assist cannot
measure the size of a parking space if it is at
right angles to the direction of travel. You
will need to judge whether your vehicle will
fit into the parking space.
When driving at speeds below 19 mph
(30 km/h), you will see the parking symbol as
a status indicator in the instrument cluster.
When a parking space h
as been detected, an
arrow towards the right or the left also
appears. By default, Active Parking Assist
only displays parking spaces on the front-
passenger side. Parking spaces on the driv- er's side are displayed as soon as the turn
signal on the driver's side is activated. When
parking on the driver's side, this must remain
switched on until you acknowledge the use of
Active Parking Assist by pressing the
a
button on the multifunction steering wheel.
The system automatically determines
whether the parking space is parallel or at
right angles to the direction of travel.
A parking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approx-
imately 50 ft (15 m) awayfrom it .
Parking
GWARNING
If you leave the vehicle when it is only being
braked by Active Parking Assist it could roll
away if:
Rthere is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.
Rthe electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses have
been tampered with.
Rthe battery is disconnected.
Rthe accelerator pedal has been depressed,
e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
There is a risk of an accident.
Before leaving the vehicle, always secure it
against rolling away.
iWhen PARKTRONIC detects obstacles,
Active Parking Assist brakes automatically
during the parking process. You are respon-
sible for braking in good time.
XStop the vehicle when the parking space
symbol shows the desired parking space in
the instrument cluster.
XShift the transmission to position R.

When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the
ésymbol appears in the multifunction
display in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactiva-
ted, it is automatically reactivated after the
engine has been stopped. The sensitivity
selected corresponds to the last selection
activated (standard/sensitive).
Warning in the multifunction display
If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentra-
tion are detected, a warning appears in the
multifunction display: ATTENTION ASSIST
Take a Break!.
In addition to the message shown in the mul-
tifunction display, you will then hear a warn-
ing tone.
XIf necessary, take a break.
XConfirm the message by pressing the a
button on the steering wheel.
On long journeys, take regular breaks in good
time to allow yourself to rest properly. If you
do not take a break and ATTENTION ASSIST
still detects increasing lapses in concentra-
tion, you will be warned again after
15 minutes at the earliest. This will only hap-
pen if ATTENTION ASSIST still detects typical
indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration.
If a warning is output in the multifunction dis-
play, a service station search is performed in
COMAND. You can select a service station
and navigation to this service station will then
begin. This function can be activated and
deactivated in COMAND.
Traffic Sign Assist
General notes
Traffic Sign Assist displays the maximum
speed permitted to the driver in the instru-
ment cluster. The data and general traffic reg-
ulations stored in the navigation system are
used to determine the current speed limit. Traffic Sign Assist is a map-based system,
and thus, traffic signs put up temporarily (e.g.
near roadworks) are not detected.
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your vehicle
is passed, the display of the speed limits is
updated.
Traffic signs with a restriction indicated by an
additional sign (e.g. in wet conditions) are
also shown.
The traffic signs are only displayed with the
restrictions if:
Rthe regulation must be observed with the
restriction, or
RTraffic Sign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies
If Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine a
maximum permitted speed from any of the
available sources, no speed limit is displayed
in the instrument cluster either.
Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all coun-
tries. In this case, symbol :is shown in the
assistance graphic display (
Ypage 251).
Important safety notes
Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not
always able to correctly display speed limits.
Traffic signs always have priority over the
Traffic Sign Assist display.
The system may be either functionally
impaired or temporarily unavailable if the
information in the digital street map of the
navigation system is incorrect or out of date.

iThe unit for the speed limit (km/h or mph)
depends on the country inwhich you are

Lane Tracking package
General notes
The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Sp ot Assist (
Ypage 217) and Lane Keepin g
Assist (
Ypage 220).
Blind Spot Assist
Gene ral notes
Blind Spot Assist mon itors the areas on either
side of the vehicle that are not vis ibleto the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-
sors. A warning displayinthe exterior mirrors
draws your attention to vehicles detected in
the mon itored area. Ifyou then switch on the
corresponding turn signal to change lane, you
will also receive an optical and audible warn-
ing.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from a speed
of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).

This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip-
ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating the on-board computer.
GWARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or mal-
functioned, you may not recognize function
restrictions in systems relevant to safety. The
operating safety of your vehicle may be
impaired. There is a risk of an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have the vehicle checked
at a qualified specialist workshop immedi-
ately.
If the operating safety of your vehicle is
impaired, pull over as soon as it is safe to do
so. Contact a qualified specialist workshop. The on-board computer only shows messages
or warnings from certain systems in the mul-
tifunction display. You should therefore make
sure your vehicle is operating safely at all
times.
For an overview, see the instrument panel
illustration (
Ypage 33).
