Driving and operating159Caution
Performance of the system can bereduced 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 correct 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.
Note
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.
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 systemdisplays a visual alert 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.
Activation
7'' Colour-Info-Display: select Blind
spot monitoring on the homepage of
the touch screen. System is activated by viewing W.

Driving and operating161The state of the system is stored
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically
deactivated when towing an
electrically connected trailer.
Fault
In the event of a fault, B flashes for a
few moments in the instrument panel,
accompanied by F and a
display message. Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Panoramic view system
This system allows views of the
vehicle's surroundings to be
displayed as a nearly 180° picture in
the Info display, like a bird's eye view.
The system uses: ● rear camera, installed in the tailgate
● ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper
The screen in the Info display is
divided into two parts: on the right
there is a view from above the vehicle,and on the left there is the view from
the rear displayed. The parking
sensors complete the information on
the view from above the vehicle.
Activation
Panoramic view system is activated
by:
● engaging reverse gear
● driving up to 10 km/h
Functionality
Different views can be selected in the left part of the display. Change the
type of view at any time during a
manoeuvre by pressing the touch
field in the left lower zone of the
display:
● Rear view
● Auto mode
● Zoom view
● 180° view
The display is immediately updated
with the type of view selected.
AUTO mode is activated by default. In
this mode, the system selects the
best view, standard or zoom, to
display according to the information
from the parking sensors.
The state of the system is not kept in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.

162Driving and operatingRear view
The area behind the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's rear bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about one and two
metres beyond the edge of your
vehicle's rear bumper.
This view is available in AUTO mode
or in the view selection menu.
Auto mode
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the
automatic view changes from a rear
view to a view from above, as an
obstacle is approached during a
manoeuvre.
Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to reconstruct a view fromabove the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the
vehicle to be manoeuvred around
obstacles nearby. This view is
available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
180° view
The 180° view facilitates reversing
out of a parking bay, making it
possible to see the approach of
vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for
carrying out a complete manoeuvre.
It is made up of three areas: left 1,
centre 2 and right 3. This view is
available from the view selection menu only.

164Driving and operatingparking assist sensors, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the
vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse or park the vehicle
using only the rear view camera.
Always check the surrounding of
the vehicle before driving.
Switching on
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted above the
licence plate.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guide lines
The vertical lines represent the
general direction of the vehicle and
the distance between the vertical
lines corresponds to the width of your vehicle without mirrors. The first
horizontal line represents a distance
of about 30 cm beyond the edge of
vehicle's rear bumper. The upper
horizontal lines represent distances
of about 1 and 2 metres beyond the
edge of your vehicle's rear bumper.
The crossing curves represent the
maximum turning circle.
Deactivation of guide lines
Guide lines can be deactivated in the Info-Display. Select Settings, I
Vehicle , I Collision detection , I Rear
view camera guide lines , I § .
Info-Display 3 95.
Vehicle personalisation 3 100.
Switching off
The camera is switched off when a
certain forward speed is exceeded or
if reverse gear is disengaged for
approx. 10 seconds.
System limitationsThe rear view camera may not
operate properly when:
● The surrounding is dark.
● The beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lenses.
● During nighttime driving.
● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
