The Fatigue detection h

as certain limitations
inherent to the system. The following condi-
tions can limit the Fatigue detection or pre-
vent it from functioning.
● At speeds below 65 km/h (40 mph)
● At speeds above 200 km/h (125 mph)
● When cornering
● On roads in poor condition
● In unfavourable weather conditions
● When a sporty driving style is employed
● In the event of a serious distraction to the
driver
Fatigue det

ection will be restored when the
vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched off or when the
driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long pe-
riod of time (below 65 km/h, 40 mph) the
system automatically re-establishes the tired-
ness calculation. When driving at a faster
speed the driving behaviour will be recalcula-
ted. Park Assist*
Introduction The Park Assist system is an additional func-
tion of P
arkPi

lot ››› page 236 and helps the
driver to:
● find a suitable parking space,
● select a parking mode,
● park driving in reverse in suitable perpen-
dicul
ar and parallel spaces,
● park driving forwards in suitable perpen-
dicu l

ar spaces,
● exit a parking space driving forwards from
a paral
lel space.
In vehicles with a Park Assist system and fac-
tory radio the front, rear and side areas are
represented, and the position of obstacles is
shown relative to the vehicle.
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system and its use
requires special attention by the driver ››› .
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into the
Park As

sist system cannot overcome the lim-
its imposed by the laws of physics; it only
works within the limits of the system. The
greater convenience provided by Park Assist
should never tempt you to take any risk that 228

Prematurely stopping or automatically inter-
rupting the manoeuvres for parking or exit-
ing a parking space
Park Assist interrupts the manoeuvres for
parking or exiting a parking space in any of
the following cases: ●
Button  is pressed.
● The speed exceeds approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph).
● The driver takes hold of the steering wheel.
● The parking manoeuvre does not end with-
in ap pr
o

ximately 6 minutes following activa-
tion of the automatic steering.
● There is a fault in the system (the system is
temporari
ly unavailable).
● ASR is switched off.
● ASR or ESC intervene with regulation.
● The driver door is opened.
To re
start the manoeuvre it is necessary that
none of these things occur and that button  is pressed again.

al Characteristics
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system. For exam-
ple, it is therefore not possible to enter or exit
a parking space on sharp bends.
While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief signal sounds to prompt the driver to
change between forward and reverse gears. If
this signal does not sound, the gear change will be indicated when the continuous signal
sounds

(object at 30 cm) in ParkPilot.
When the Park Assist system turns the steer-
ing wheel with the vehicle stationary, the in-
strument panel also displays the symbol .
Press down the brake pedal so that the turn
takes place with the vehicle stationary and
the smallest possible number of manoeuvres
take place in the parking space.
Trailer mode
The Park Assist system cannot be switched
on if the factory-fitted towing bracket
››› page 245 is electrically connected to a
trailer.
After changing a wheel
If, after changing a wheel, the vehicle stops
entering and exiting parking spaces correctly,
the circumference of the new wheel may be
different and the system may need to adapt
to it. The adaptation is automatic and takes
place during driving. Making turns slowly, at
less than 20 km/h (12 mph) may contribute
to this adaptation process ››› in Introduc-
tion on p ag

in time ››› .
Autom atic

braking intervention to avoid ex-
ceeding the speed limit
To avoid exceeding the speed limit of approx-
imately 7 km/h (4 mph) when entering or
leaving a parking space, the brakes may acti-
vate automatically. After automatically acti-
vating the brakes, the manoeuvres to enter or
exit a parking space may continue.
The brakes are only automatically activated
once for each attempt to enter or exit a park-
ing space. If the speed of approximately
7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again, the corre-
sponding operation is halted.
Automatic braking to reduce damages
Depending on certain conditions, the Park
Assist system can automatically brake the ve-
hicle when faced with an obstacle, briefly ac-
tioning and holding down the brake ped-
al ››› . Following this the driver must press
the br ak
e ped

is not a replacement for driver awareness.
● The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations
inherent to the system. In certain
situations, the automatic braking interven-
