R there is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.
R the electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses are tam-
pered with.
R the battery is disconnected.
R the vehicle is accelerated, e.g. by a vehicle
occupant.
There is a risk of an accident.
Before leaving the vehicle, always secure it
against rolling away.
i When PARKTRONIC detects obstacles,
Active Parking Assist brakes automatically
during the parking process. You are respon-
sible for braking in good time.

Parking tips:
R The way your vehicle is positioned in the park-
ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front of and
behind it and the conditions of the location. It may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into a parking space, or not
far enough into it. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the kerb. If necessary,
you should cancel the parking procedure with Active Parking Assist.
R You can also preselect transmission position
D. The vehicle redirects and does not drive as
far into the parking space. Should the trans-
mission change take place too early, the park- 196
Driving systemsDriving and parking

ing procedure will be cancelled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
Exiting a parking space In order that Active Parking Assist can support
you when you are exiting a parking space:
R the border of the parking space must be high
enough at the front and the rear. A kerb, for
example, is too small.
R the border of the parking space must not be
too wide. Your vehicle can be manoeuvred
into the parking space at a maximum angle of
45° to the starting position.
R a manoeuvring distance of at least 1.0 mmust
be available.
Active Parking Assist can assist you with exiting
a parking space as well only if you have parked
the vehicle parallel to the direction of travel
using Active Parking Assist.
i If PARKTRONIC detects obstacles, Active
Parking Assist brakes automatically whilst the vehicle is exiting the parking space. You are
responsible for braking in good time.
X Start the engine.
X Release the electric parking brake.
X Switch on the turn signal in the direction in
which you intend to pull away.

Lane-correcting brake application
If you leave your lane, under certain circumstan-
ces, the vehicle will brake briefly on one side.
This is intended to help you return the vehicle to the original lane. G
WARNING
A lane-correcting brake application cannot
always bring the vehicle back into the original lane. There is a risk of an accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Lane Keeping Assist warns
you or makes a lane-correcting brake appli-
cation. If a lane-correcting brake application occurs,
display :appears on the multifunction display.
The brake application also slightly reduces driv- ing speed.
A lane-correcting brake application can be made
after the car has passed over a lane marking
detected as being solid or broken. Before this, a warning must have been issued by means of
intermittent vibration through the steering
wheel. In addition, a lane with lane markings on
both sides must be detected.
In the case of a broken lane marking being
detected, a lane-correcting brake application
can be made only if a vehicle has been detected
in the adjacent lane. Oncoming vehicles, over-
taking vehicles and vehicles in adjacent lanes
can be detected.
A further lane-correcting brake application can
occur only after your vehicle has returned to the original lane.
No lane-correcting brake application occurs in
the following situations:
R you clearly and actively steer, brake or accel-
erate
R you cut the corner on a sharp bend R
you have switched on the turn signal
R a driving safety system engages, such as
ESP ®
, PRE-SAFE ®
Brake or Active Blind Spot
Assist
R you have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of accel-
eration
R ESP ®
is deactivated
R the transmission is not in position D
R on vehicles with a trailer tow hitch, the elec-
trical connection to the trailer has been cor-
rectly established
R a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre has
been detected and displayed
R an obstacle has been detected in the lane in
which you are driving
Active Lane Keeping Assist may not detect other road users or traffic situations. An inappropriate
brake application may be interrupted at any time
in the following situations:
R you steer slightly in the opposite direction
R you switch on the turn signal
R you brake or accelerate significantly
A lane-correcting brake application is interrup-
ted automatically in the following situations:
R a driving safety system engages, such as
