appear in the multifunction display.
X Immediately depress the brake firmly until the
warning message in the multifunction display goes out.
The HOLD function is deactivated. The horn
sounds at regular intervals if you have switched
off the engine, released the seat belt and
opened the driver's door with the HOLD function activated. The sounding of the horn alerts you to
the fact that the HOLD function is still activated.
If you attempt to lock the vehicle, the tone
becomes louder. The vehicle cannot be locked
until you have deactivated the HOLD function.
i After switching off the engine, it can only be
started again once you have deactivated the
HOLD function. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Important safety notes Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic
parking aid with ultrasound. It monitors the area
around your vehicle using six sensors in the
front bumper and six sensors in the rear
bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC visually
and audibly indicates the distance between your
vehicle and an object.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a replacement for your attention to your
immediate surroundings. You are always
responsible for safe maneuvering, parking and
exiting a parking space. When maneuvering,
parking or pulling out of a parking space, make
sure that there are no persons, animals or
objects in the area in which you are maneuver-
ing.
! When parking, pay particular attention to
objects above or below the sensors, such as
flower pots or trailer drawbars. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not detect such objects
when they are in the immediate vicinity of the
vehicle. You could damage the vehicle or the
objects.
The sensors may not detect snow and other
objects that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Ultrasonic sources such as an automatic car
wash, the compressed-air brakes of a truck or
a pneumatic drill could cause Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC to malfunction.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC may not function
correctly on uneven terrain.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is activated auto-
matically when you: R switch on the ignition
R shift the transmission to position D,Ror N
R shift the transmission to position D,Ror N
R release the electric parking brake
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated at
speeds above 11 mph (18 km/h) . It is reactiva-
ted at lower speeds.
Range of the sensors General notes
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not take into
account obstacles located:
R below the detection range, e.g. people, ani-
mals or objects.
R above the detection range, e.g. overhanging
loads, tail sections or loading ramps of goods
vehicles. 0043
Sensors in the front bumper, left-hand side
(example)
The sensors must be free from dirt, ice or slush. They can otherwise not function correctly. Clean
the sensors regularly, taking care not to scratch
or damage them (Y page 237). Driving systems

Parking Pilot is activated automatically when
driving forwards. The system is operational at
speeds of up to approximately 22 mph
(35 km/h). While in operation, the system inde- pendently locates and measures parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
Parking Pilot will only detect parking spaces:
R parallel to the direction of travel
R that are at least 59 in (1.5 m) wide
R that are at least 51 in (1.3 m) longer than your
vehicle
When driving at speeds below 19 mph
(30 km/h), you will see parking symbol 0044as a
status indicator in the instrument cluster. When
a parking space has been detected, an arrow
towards the right or the left also appears. Park- ing Pilot only displays parking spaces on the
front-passenger side as standard. Parking
spaces on the driver's side are displayed as
soon as the turn signal on the driver's side is
activated. When parking on the driver's side,
this must remain activated until you confirm the
use of Parking Pilot by pressing the 0076button
on the multifunction steering wheel.
A parking space is displayed while you are driv- ing past it, and until you are approximately 50 ft
(15 m) away from it.

General notes Rear view camera
0043is an optical parking and
maneuvering aid. It shows the area behind your vehicle with guide lines in the multimedia sys-
tem display.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear view mirror.
i The text shown in the multimedia system
display depends on the language setting. The following are examples of rear view camera
messages in the multimedia system display.
Observe the notes on cleaning (Y page 238).
Important safety notes The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your immedi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering and parking. When maneu-
vering or parking, make sure that there are no
persons, animals or objects in the area in which you are maneuvering.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
a limited manner:
R if the tailgate is open
R in heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in win-
ter
R if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 238)
R if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
The field of vision and other functions of the rear
view camera may be restricted due to additional
accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g.
license plate holder, bicycle rack). Driving systems

Only secure the tow rope or tow bar at the
towing eyes. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged.
! Observe the following points when towing
with a tow rope:
R Secure the tow rope on the same side on
both vehicles.
R Ensure that the tow cable is not longer than
legally permitted. Mark the tow cable in the
middle, e.g. with a white cloth (30 x 30 cm). This will make other road users aware that
the vehicle is being towed.
R Only secure the tow cable to the towing
eye.
R Observe the brake lamps of the towing
vehicle while driving. Always maintain a dis-
tance so that the tow rope does not sag.
R Do not use steel cables or chains to tow
your vehicle. You could otherwise damage
the vehicle.
! Do not use the towing eyes for recovery pur-
poses as this could damage the vehicle. If in
doubt, recover the vehicle with a crane.
! When towing, pull away slowly and
smoothly. If the tractive power is too high, the vehicles could be damaged.
! The vehicle can be towed a maximum of
30 miles (50km). The towing speed of 30 mph
(50km/h) must not be exceeded.
If the vehicle has to be towed more than
30 miles (50km), the front axle must be raised
or the entire vehicle raised and transported.
! Do not tow with sling-type equipment. This
could damage the vehicle.
! To tow vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, use the
SmartKey instead of the Start/Stop button.
The transmission may otherwise shift to posi- tion Pwhen you open the driver's or front-
passenger door, which could damage the
transmission.
Observe the legal requirements for the relevant countries when towing away.
Make sure that no charging cable is plugged in.
The parking lock cannot be released if a charg-
ing cable is plugged in.
It is better to have the vehicle transported than
to have it towed away. If the vehicle can no longer be driven because of
an accident or breakdown, you have the follow-
ing options:
R transporting the vehicle
As a rule, you should have the vehicle trans-
ported.
R towing the vehicle with a tow rope or tow bar
Only tow the vehicle in exceptional cases.
Observe the following notes.
The vehicle may not be towed and must always be transported if:
R the multifunction display is not working
R one of more of the following warning lamps is
lit up:
- Drive system
- 12 V battery
R one or both of the following display messages
have appeared:
- Stop Switch Engine Off
Stop Switch Engine Off
- Service Required Do Not Shift Service Required Do Not Shift
Gears Visit Dealer Gears Visit Dealer
R you have to tow the vehicle over a longer dis-
tance than 30 miles (50 km).
The battery must be connected and charged.
Otherwise, you:
R cannot turn the SmartKey to position 2in the
ignition lock
R cannot release the electric parking brake
R cannot move the transmission to position N
The function of the electric parking brake and
the parking lock is dependent on the on-board
voltage.
If the on-board voltage is low or if there is a sys- tem malfunction:
R the electric parking brake may not be applied
in certain circumstances, or
R the transmission may not be shifted to P
Switch off non-essential consumers, e.g. the
radio.
Disarm the automatic locking feature before the
vehicle is towed (Y page 166). You could other-
wise be locked out when pushing or towing the
vehicle. 252
