Parking assist
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 of and
behind the vehicle. The system gives acoustic signals and display
messages.

Driving and operating195
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors each in the rear and
front bumper.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency. The signal
for front obstacles sounds via the
front speakers, for rear obstacles it
sounds via the rear speakers.

If the vehicle exceeds a speed of 11 km/h, the front parking assist is
deactivated. The front parking assist
is always reactivated when vehicle
speed drops below 11 km/h.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind and in
front of the vehicle. Depending on
which side of the vehicle is closer to
an obstacle, you will hear acoustic
warning signals on the respective
side of the vehicle. 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 obstacles may be shown in the Driver
Information Centre 3 116.
The distance to a front and rear
obstacle is indicated by changing
distance lines around the vehicle.
Rear obstacles are indicated
acoustically and visually at the same
time.

external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced 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
The parking assist system can be
activated and deactivated by
changing the settings in the
Info-Display. If a trailer coupling is

towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
It is possible that the sensor detects
a non-existing object (echo
disturbance) caused by external
acoustical or mechanic
disturbances.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
parking space after initiating a
parallel parking manoeuvre.
Note
If engaging a forward gear and
exceeding a certain speed, the rear
parking assist will be deactivated
when the rear carrier system is
extended.
If engaging reverse gear first, the
parking assist will detect the rear
carrier system and provide a buzzing sound. Press D briefly to
deactivate the parking assist.Note
After production, the advanced
parking assist requires a calibration.
For optimal parking guidance, a
driving distance of at least 35 km,
including a number of bends, is
required.
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 system alerts visually in each exterior mirror, when
detecting objects that may not be
visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
The system's sensors are located in
the bumper on the left and right side
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.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forward, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, an amber
warning symbol B will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn signal,
the warning symbol B starts flashing
amber as a warning not to change
lanes.
Note
If the passing vehicle is at least
10 km/h faster than the passed
vehicle, the warning symbol B in the
relevant exterior mirror may not
illuminate.

202Driving and operating
Side blind spot alert is active from
speeds of 10 km/h up to 140 km/h.
Driving faster than 140 km/h
deactivates the system, indicated by
low lighting warning symbols B in
both exterior mirrors. Reducing the speed again will extinguish the
warning symbols. If a vehicle is then
detected in the blind zone, the
warning symbols B will illuminate as
normal on the relevant side.
When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system is operating.
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the menu Settings in
the Info-Display, vehicle
personalisation 3 129.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
Detection zones The system sensor covers a zone of
approx. three metres on both sides of
the vehicle. This zone starts at each
exterior mirror and extends rearwards by approx. three metres. The height
of the zone is approx. between
0.5 metres and two metres off the
ground.
The system is deactivated if the
vehicle is towing a trailer.
Side blind spot alert is designed to ignore stationary objects such as
guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and
beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming
vehicles are not detected.Fault
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances and will
increase in wet conditions.
Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the
rear bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy
rainstorms. Cleaning instructions

driver when reversing by displaying a
view of the area behind the vehicle.
The view of the camera is displayed
in the Colour-Info-Display.

Driving and operating2039Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view and the
advanced parking assist sensors,
e.g. below the bumper or
underneath the vehicle, are not
displayed.
Do not reverse the vehicle by only looking at the Info-Display and
check the surrounding area
behind and around the vehicle
before reversing.
Activation

camera, the rear bumper can be seen on the display as a guide to position.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Guiding lines
Dynamic guiding lines are horizontal
lines in one metre intervals projected
on the picture to define the distance
to shown objects.
Trajectory lane of the vehicle is
shown in accordance with the
steering angle.
