front and rear parking assist.
Activation of front-rear parking assist
When reverse gear is engaged, the
front and rear parking assist is ready
to operate.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button D indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
The front-rear parking assist can also
be activated at a speed up to 7 mph
with a brief press of the parking assist
button.
If D is switched on 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
beforehand. 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.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
1.5 metres and in front up to
1.2 metres . Depending on which side
of the vehicle is closer to an obstacle,
you will hear acoustic warning signals
in the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre 3 96 or,
depending on the version, on the Colour-Info-Display 3 101.

Driving and operating167
The distance to rear and front
obstacles is displayed by changing
distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre 3 96.
The distance indication can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing SET/CLR on
the turn signal lever, distance
indication appears again.The distance to obstacles is shown on the Colour-Info-Display by coloured
zones in front of or behind the vehicle
3 101.
Activation of advanced parking assist Advanced parking assist can only be
activated when driving forwards.When searching for a parking slot, the
system is ready to operate with a long
press of D.
The system recognises and memorises ten metres for parallel
parking slots or six metres for
perpendicular parking slots in the
parking assist mode.
The system can only be activated at
a speed up to 18 mph and the system searches for a parking slot at a speed up to 18 mph.
The maximum allowed parallel
distance between the vehicle and a
row of parked cars is 1.8 metres for
parallel parking and 2.5 metres for
perpendicular parking.

Driving and operating169When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Colour-Info-Display
and an acoustic signal is given.
If the driver does not stop the vehicle
within ten metres for parallel parking
slots or six metres for perpendicular parking slots after a parking slot is
proposed, the system starts to search
for another suitable parking slot.Park guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the
system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within ten
metres for parallel parking slots or six metres for perpendicular parking slots
after the Stop message is given. The
system calculates the optimal path
into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parking
slots on the driver side, switch on turn
signal indicator on the driver side for
the duration of the search.
As soon as the turn signal indicator is
switched off, the system searches for
parking slots on the passenger side
again.Display indication
The instructions on the display show:
● General hints and warning messages.
● A hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in
guiding mode.
● The demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected.
● The direction of driving during the
parking manoeuvre.
● The demand to shift into reverse or first gear.
● The demand to accelerate or brake.
● For some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the
Driver Information Centre.
● The successful completion of the
parking manoeuvre indicated by
a pop-up symbol and a chime.
● The cancelling of a parking manoeuvre.

when perpendicular parking
● switching off the ignitionDeactivation by the driver or by the
system during manoeuvring will be
indicated by Parking Deactivated on
the display. Additionally, an acoustic
signal sounds.
Fault
A message appears when:
● There is a fault in the system.
● The driver did not successfully complete the parking
manoeuvre.
● The system is not operational.
● Any of the deactivation reasons described above apply.
If an object is detected during parking
instructions, Stop is indicated on the
display. Removing the object will
resume the parking manoeuvre. If the
object is not removed, the system will be deactivated. A long press of D
will activate the system and search for
a new parking slot.Basic notes on 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.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and

Driving and operating171correct distance indication 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.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Notice
It is possible that the sensor detects
a non-existing object caused by
echo disturbance from external
acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false
warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left
or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
available parking space after
initiating a parking manoeuvre. The
system may recognize an entry, a
gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as a parking slot. After
selecting reverse gear the system
will start a parking manoeuvre. Take care regarding the availability of the
suggested parking slot.
Surface irregularities, e.g. on construction zones, are not detected
by the system. The driver accepts
responsibility.
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 or D briefly to
deactivate the parking assist.
Notice
After production, the system
requires a calibration. For optimal parking guidance, a driving distance
of at least 6 miles, including a
number of bends, is required.Side blind spot alert
The Side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system alerts
visually in each exterior mirror, when
detecting objects that may not be
visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear bumper on both sides of the vehicle.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.

172Driving and operatingWhen the system detects a vehicle inthe side blind zone while driving
forward, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, a yellow
warning symbol B will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn signal,
the warning symbol B starts flashing
yellow as a warning not to change
lanes.
Side blind spot alert is active from
speeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph.
Driving faster than 87 mph
deactivates the system, indicated by
low lighting warning symbols B in
both exterior mirrors. Reducing the speed again will extinguish the
warning symbols. If a vehicle is then
detected in the blind zone, the
warning symbols B will illuminate as
normal on the relevant side.
When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system is operating.
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the Info-Display,
vehicle personalisation 3 106.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
Detection zones The detection zones start at the rear
bumper and extend approx.
three metres rearwards and to the
sides. The height of the zone is
approx. between 0.5 metres and
two metres off the ground.
Side blind spot alert is designed to
ignore stationary objects, e.g.
guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and
beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming
vehicles are not detected.Fault
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances and will
increase in wet conditions.
Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the
rear bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy
rainstorms. Cleaning instructions

In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
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.

Driving and operating1739Warning
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.

180Driving and operatingFill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank.
Faults and remedies
If gas mode is not possible, check the following:
● Is there enough liquid gas present?
● Is there enough petrol present for
starting?
Due to extreme temperatures in
combination with the gas
composition, it may take slightly
longer before the system switches
from petrol to gas mode.
In extreme situations, the system may
also switch back to petrol mode if the
minimum requirements are not
fulfilled. If conditions allow, it might be possible to manually switch back to
liquid gas operation.
Seek the assistance of a workshop in
the event of all other faults.Caution
Repairs and adjustments may only be made by trained specialists in
order to maintain the safety and
warranty on the LPG system.
Liquid gas is given a particular odour
(odorised) so that any leaks can be
detected easily.
9 Warning
If you smell gas in the vehicle or in
the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No
smoking. No naked flames or
ignition sources.
If the gas odour persists, do not start
the engine. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.
When using underground car parks,
follow the instructions of the operator
and local laws.
Notice
In the event of an accident, switch off
the ignition and lights.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
ignition and any external heaters
with combustion chambers.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
