Operating safety
Important safet yn otes
G WARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenanc ew ork or any required repairs
carried out, this can result in malfunctions or
system failures. There is ar isk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/mainte-
nanc ew ork as well as any required repairs
carried out at aq ualified specialist workshop.
G WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is ar isk
of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
chec kt he vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
G WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardiz et he operatin gs afety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
acciden ta nd injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic component sort heir software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at aq ualified
specialist workshop. ! There is ar isk of damage to the vehicle if: R
the vehicle becomes stuck ,e .g. on ah igh
curb or an unpaved road R
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb or ah ole in the road R
ah eavy objec ts trikes the undercarriage or
parts of the chassis
In situation sl ike this, the body, the undercar-
riage, chassis parts, wheels or tires could be
damaged without the damage being visible.
Components damaged in this way can unex-
pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no
longer withstand the strain they are designed
to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged, com-
bustible materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can gather between the underbody and
the underbody paneling. If these materials
come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust
system, they can catc hf ire.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at aq ualified spe-
cialist workshop. If on continuin gy our jour-
ney you notice that driving safety is impaired,
pull over and stop the vehicle immediately,
paying attention to road and traffic condi-
tions. In such cases, consult aq ualified spe-
cialist workshop.

the PARKTRONIC warn-
ing display sa re lit. You
also hear aw arning tone

Parking Guidance
Important safety notes Parking Guidance is an electronic parking aid
with ultrasound. Ultrasound is used to measure
the road on both sides of the vehicle. As uitable
parking space is indicated by the parking sym-
bol. You receive steering instructions when
parking. You may also use PARKTRONIC
( Y
page 149).
Parking Guidance is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your immedi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering, parking and exiting a
parking space. When maneuvering, parking or
pulling out of ap arking space, make sure that
there are no persons, animals or object sint he
area in which you are maneuvering.
G WARNING
If object sa re located above the detection
range, Parking Guidance may provide steering
instructions too soon. You may cause ac olli-
sion as ar esult. There is ar isk of an accident.
If object sa re located above the detection
range, stop and switch off Parking Assist. ! If unavoidable, you should drive over obsta-
cles such as curbs slowly and not at as harp
angle. Otherwise, you may damage the
wheels or tires.
When PARKTRONIC is deactivated, Parking
Guidance is also unavailable.
Parking Guidance may also display spaces not
suitable for parking, e.g.: R
where parking or stopping is prohibited R
in front of driveways or entrances and exits R
on unsuitable surfaces
Use Parking Guidance for parking spaces: R
that are paralle ltot he direction of travelR
that are on straight roads, not bends R
that are on the same level as the road, i.e. not
on the pavement, for example. Parking Guid-
ance may not detect flat curbs
Parking tips: R
On narrow roads, drive as close to the parking
space as possible. R
Parking spaces that are littered or overgrown
might be identified or measured incorrectly. R
Parking spaces that are partially occupied by
trailer drawbars might not be identified as
such or be measured incorrectly.152
