WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, General information .■
The system detects obstacles. The auxiliary boxes and lines are displayed
by the system, regardless of the area around the vehicle. The driver must
judge for themselves whether the vehicle can park safely in the selected
parking space.
■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system function
will be significantly affected - there is a risk of an accident. For information
on cleaning » page 271.
CAUTION
■
The camera image is distorted by contrast with eyesight. For this reason, the
screen display is only of limited use for estimating distances to following vehi-
cles.■
Objects that are located directly beside the corners of the vehicle may be
outside the field of view of the cameras and may therefore not be displayed on
the screen.
■
Some items, such as thin posts, chain link fences, grilles or uneven road sur-
faces may not be properly displayed in terms of screen resolution.
■
In a vehicle damaged in the area of one of the cameras, the respective cam-
era can possibly deviate from the correct position. If this is the case, have the
sensor checked by a specialist garage.
CAUTION
The objects shown on the screen can be closer or even further away than they
appear. This is especially the case in the following situations.■
Protruding objects, such as the rear of a truck and the like.
■
When driving from a horizontal surface into a slope or a depression.

The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-
hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor » Fig. 313.
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overrid-
den at any time.WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
■
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.
WARNINGThe system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it
incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When driving in “sharp” bends.
■
The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.
■
The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-
hicle.
CAUTION
Do not attach any stickers or similar objects in front of the sensor on the wind-
screen to avoid impairing the functions of the system.
Note
■ The system is designed for driving on motorways and roads with adequate
longitudinal markings.■
The system can detect both continuous and broken lines.

Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (following known as system) recommends the
driver taking a break from driving when, because of the driver's steering be-
haviour, driver fatigue can be detected.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system ▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.

■ In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, adverse weather condi-
tions or poor road conditions).■
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.
Tyre pressure monitoring
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing the tyre pressure values and Infotainment display
260
The tyre pressure monitoring function (following known as system) monitors
the tyre pressure while driving.
If the tyre inflation pressure changes, the warning light 
lights up in the in-
strument cluster and an audible signal sounds » page 37.
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
▶ Change of tyre pressure values.
▶ Change one or more wheels.
▶ Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶ The warning light 
in the instrument cluster.
WARNING■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 286.
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.
■
Before storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified
inflation pressure » page 286. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.
CAUTION
To ensure proper system function, the tyre pressure values must be stored ev-
ery 10,000 km or 1x a year.
