Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
The Park Assist Camera system is designed to provide the driver with a view of the area aroundthe vehicle in the form of a camera image andgraphics in the center display.
PAC is a supplementary parking aid that can be activated automatically when the gear selector is in R or by tapping a button in the center display,
depending on the selected settings. See also the article "Starting the Park Assist Camera."

Backing up
Location of the rear Park Assist Camera
The rear camera shows a wide area, part of the bumper and the trailer hitch (if installed). Some objects on the screen may appear to “lean” slightly, which is normal. If the vehicle is also equipped with the optional Park Assist system, this information will be dis-played on the screen as colored fields showingthe distance to obstacles that have beendetected. See also the article "Park AssistCamera guiding lines and fields."
WARNING
People/objects/obstructions displayed on the center console screen may be closer to thevehicle than they appear.
Front camera
The front camera is located behind the grill and can be useful when driving off in areas with lim-ited visibility (hedges, bushes, etc). It is active atspeeds up to approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) and isautomatically turned off when the vehicleexceeds this speed. However, if the vehicle's speed remains under 31 mph (50 km/h) for 60 seconds and its speedgoes under 22 mph (22 km/h), the front camerawill reactivate.
NOTE
The front camera will only reactivate automati- cally if Auto Camera Reverse Activation
has been selected in SettingsMy CarPark Assist.
Side camera
The side cameras are located in the respective door mirrors.

Park Assist Camera (PAC)*
trajectory lines and fields
The Park Assist Camera system uses trajectory and lines and fields to indicate the vehicle'sposition in relation to its immediate surround-ings.
Trajectory lines
Sample guidelines
The trajectory lines are intended to show the position of the vehicle's outermost dimensionsbased on the current position of the steeringwheel to help simplify parallel parking, backinginto tight spaces or when attaching a trailer. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were a path on the ground around the vehicleand are directly affected by the way in which thesteering wheel is turned. This enables the driverto see path the vehicle will take, even if he/sheturns the steering wheel. These lines also indicate the outermost limits thatany object (door mirrors, corners of the body, atrailer hitch, etc.) extends out from the vehicle,even when it turns.
NOTE
When backing up with a trailer, the trajectory lines show the path that the
vehicle will take,
not the trailer.
WARNING
Keep in mind that when the rear camera has been selected, the image on the screen onlyshows the area behind the vehicle. The drivermust always watch for people, animals, othervehicles, etc., near the sides or the front of thevehicle when turning while backing up. The opposite is true when the front camera is selected. Please note that the trajectory lines show the shortest path. Be sure that the vehicle

Starting the cameraPAC can be started manually in the center display's Functionview if it is turned off.
–Tap the Camera button.
> The camera will start.
Starting the camera in different situations
When the button is tapped, the vehicle's speed and direction determine if the camera starts intop view or front view:
• Top view: if the vehicle is stationary or is moving forward at speeds up to 9 mph(15 km/h)
• Top view: if the vehicle is stationary or isreversing, regardless of speed
• Front view: if the vehicle is moving forward atspeeds between 9–14 mph (15–22 km/h)

limitations
The Park Assist Camera system has certain limi- tations that the driver should be aware of.
NOTE
Bicycle carriers or other accessories mounted on the tailgate may obstruct the camera'sfield of vision.
Blind sectorsEven if a fairly small section of the screen image appears to be obstructed, this may mean that arelatively large area is hidden and objects theremay not be detected until they are very near thevehicle.
The "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of vision
• With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles
may not be detected at the edges of the indi- vidual cameras' fields of vision.
• A crossed-out camera icon means that thecamera is not functioning properly.
Ambient lightingThe camera images are adjusted automatically to the ambient light, which means the image mayvary slightly in terms of light and quality. Poorambient lighting may reduce the quality of theimage.
Maintenance
• Keep the camera's lens free of dirt, ice and snow. This is particularly important in poorambient lighting conditions.
• Remove dirt, ice and snow carefully to avoidscratching the lenses.
• Clean the lens regularly with warm water anda suitable car washing detergent.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP) *
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) helps the driver drive into and leave parallel parking spaces.
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) provides assistance when parking by measuring the parking space andturning the steering wheel to guide the vehicleinto the space. Information about the actions required by the driver is provided in the center display in the formof symbols, images and text.
NOTE
The driver's task is to follow the instructions, select a gear ( D or R), regulate the vehicle's
speed, apply the brakes when necessary and stop.

Types of parking
Parallel parking
Procedure for parallel parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
1. The system searches for and measures a
possible parking space. While this is being done, the vehicle's speed may not exceedapprox. 20 mph ( 30 km/h). When backinginto a space, the speed may not exceedapprox. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space. The driver controls thevehicle's speed.
3. The vehicle's position in the parking space is adjusted by prompting the driver to move for-ward and rearward while the system steers.
Perpendicular parking
Procedure for perpendicular parking
PAP helps park the vehicle as follows:
1. The system searches for and measures apossible parking space. While this is being done, the vehicle's speed may not exceedapprox. 4 mph ( 7 km/h).
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space and its position in thespace is adjusted by prompting the driver tomove forward and rearward while the systemsteers. The driver controls the vehicle'sspeed.
WARNING
• PAP does not function in all situations and is only intended to assist the driverduring parallel or perpendicular parking.
• As the driver, you have full responsibilityfor parking the vehicle in a safe manner.

Using Park Assist Pilot (PAP) *
Park Assist Pilot (PAP) gives the driver instruc- tions during the parking procedure.
Symbols, images and text in the center display indicate when the various steps in the parkingprocedure will be carried out. PAP can be activated if the following conditions are met after the engine has started:
• The vehicle may not be towing a trailer.
• The vehicle's speed must be below approx. 30 mph (50 km/h).
NOTE
If a trailer hitch is configured in the vehicle's electrical system, PAP will take the trailerhitch into consideration when determining thenecessary size of a parking space.
ParkingProcedure for parking:
1. The system searches for and measures a
possible parking space.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
3. The vehicle's position is adjusted in the park- ing space by moving forward and rearward.
1: Searching and measuring
Parallel parking
Perpendicular parking
PAP searches for a potential parking space and measures it to see if there is sufficient space foryour vehicle. To start this procedure: 1. Tap the
Park Assist button
in the center display's Function view. If necessary, slow down toa speed below 20 mph (30km/h) for parallel parking orapprox. 12 mph ( 20 km/h) forperpendicular parking.
2. Keep an eye on the display and be prepared to stop the vehicle when you are instructed by PAP to do so.
3. Select
Parallel parking or Perpendicular
parking and put the transmission in reverse.
4. Keep an eye on the display and be prepared to stop the vehicle when you are instructed by PAP to do so.
5. Stop the vehicle when instructed to do so.
NOTE
PAP normally searches for available parking spaces along the curb on the right (passeng-er's) side of the vehicle. However, it can alsoassist in finding and parking in spaces on thedriver's side. To do so:
• Activate the left turn signal. PAP will then search for a parking space on the leftside of the vehicle.
