9 Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.

Driving and operating161The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
System limitations
The system is designed to warn of vehicles only, but may react also to
other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
● on winding roads
● when weather limits visibility, e.g.
fog, rain, or snow
● when the sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or
windscreen damage
Following distance
indication
The following distance indication
displays the distance to a preceding
moving vehicle. The front camera in
the windscreen is used to detect the
distance of a vehicle directly ahead in

Parking assist Rear parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the rear parking assist system.
The rear parking assist makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
rear obstacles. It informs and warns
the driver by giving acoustic signals
and display indication.

Driving and operating163Control indicator r illuminates in
the instrument cluster 3 93 or a
message is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre.
Front-rear 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 front-rear parking assist
measures the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in front and
behind the vehicle. It informs and
warns the driver by giving acoustic
signals and display indication.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors each in the rear and front bumper.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is ready to operate
automatically.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 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.

164Driving and operatingWhen 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.
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.

Advanced parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
the advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle into a parallel or
perpendicular parking slot.
Instructions are given in the Driver
Information Centre 3 96 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour-Info-Display 3 101 , supported
by acoustic signals.
The driver must control acceleration,
braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically.
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking
assist. Both systems use the same
sensors in the front and rear bumper.
The system has six ultrasonic parking sensors each in both the rear and
front bumper.
Parking assist button D
and
operation logic
Advanced parking assist and front-
rear parking assist both use the same
button for activation and deactivation:
A brief press of D activates or
deactivates the parking assist.
A long press of D (approx.
one second) activates or deactivates
the advanced parking assist, see
separate description below.
Button logic operates the systems by
pressing D as follows:
● If front-rear parking assist is active, a brief press deactivates
front-rear parking assist.
● If front-rear parking assist is active, a long press activates
advanced parking assist.
● If advanced parking assist is active and the system is in
parking slot searching mode, a brief press activates front-rear
parking assist.
