Park Distance Control switches itself on automatically if the vehicle rolls backwards.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, Park Distance Control can also be activated automatically.
Switching off Park Distance Control
•Press the or button.
•OR: drive forwards at a speed of more than 10-15 km/h (6-9 mph).
•OR: move the selector lever to position P.
Automatic activation (depending on equipment)
Park Distance Control also switches itself on if the vehicle approaches an obstacle in the front area
of the vehicle at a speed of less than 15 km/h (9 mph). Automatic activation can be switched on in
the Infotainment system.
Automatic activation functions only when the vehicle speed falls below around 15 km/h (9 mph) for
the first time. Renewed automatic activation is possible after Park Distance Control has been
switched off and then back on again with the button or .
Automatic activation can also be reactivated by switching the ignition or electronic parking brake off
and then back on again.
Manoeuvre braking
If the vehicle is equipped with manoeuvre braking, the manoeuvre braking function triggers the
emergency brake as soon as an obstacle is detected while reversing. The manoeuvre braking
function helps to prevent collisions. The vehicle speed must not be higher than 10 km/h (6 mph).
The manoeuvre braking function is activated or deactivated when Park Distance Control is switched
on or off. The manoeuvre braking function is inactive for five metres after a braking operation in the
same direction of travel. The manoeuvre braking function is ready for braking again after changing
gear or position. The same restrictions apply as for Park Distance Control.
Manoeuvre braking is not active if Park Distance Control was activated automatically.
Touch the function button to switch manoeuvre braking on and off.
Display representation
Fig. 154 Display in the Infotainment system: full-screen mode. The scanned areas depend on the
vehicle equipment level.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The scanned areas are represented by several segments in the Infotainment system ⇒ Fig. 154.
The closer the vehicle drives towards an obstacle, the closer the segment will move to the vehicle
in the display. Signal tones sound at the same time.
Obstacle close to the vehicle. A continuous tone sounds. Do not drive on!Obstacle in the
vehicle path. An intermittent tone sounds. The shorter the distance, the shorter the intervals.
Obstacle outside the vehicle path.Mute signal tones.Switch manoeuvre braking
on and off (depending on vehicle equipment).Switch to rear view camera system (depending
on vehicle equipment). / System fault in the monitored area (depending on equipment level).
Only the scanned area to the front of the vehicle is shown on the Infotainment system display in
vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket and a trailer with an electrical connection to the vehicle
⇒ Trailer towing.
Things to note in the area around the vehicle (depending on vehicle
equipment)
The scanned area along the side of the vehicle is automatically hidden in the following situations:
•When a vehicle door is opened.
•TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.
•If the vehicle is stationary for longer than approximately three minutes.
The vehicle must be moved a few metres forwards or backwards in order to be able to show the
entire area around the vehicle. The missing areas are then scanned and the area around the
vehicle is calculated.
Before changing the engine oil, first find out where old oil can be disposed of properly near
you.
Used oil must be disposed of in accordance with regulations governing the protection of the
environment. Never dispose of old oil in locations such as gardens, woods, sewerage systems, on
streets and roads, or in rivers and waterways.
Engine oil consumption
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Engine oil consumption can vary from engine to engine and can change during the working life of
an engine.
The vehicle may consume up to 1.0 litre of engine oil per 2,000 km, depending on how you drive
and the conditions in which the car is used. In new vehicles, consumption is likely to be higher for
the first 5,000 km. The engine oil level must therefore be checked at regular intervals, preferably
when refuelling and before long journeys.
When the engine is working hard, the engine oil level should be kept within the upper permissible
area ⇒ Fig. 227Ⓒ, for instance during extended motorway journeys in summer, when towing a
trailer ⇒ Trailer towing, or when climbing mountain passes.
Checking the engine oil level and refilling the engine oil
Fig. 227 Engine oil level markings on the oil dipstick.
Fig. 228 In the engine compartment: engine oil filler cap (illustration).
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Key to ⇒ Fig. 227:
Engine oil level too high – follow the messages in the instrument cluster display or contact
a qualified workshop, if necessary.
If, in exceptional cases, you have to carry out an oil change yourself, please note the
following:
•Always wear eye protection.
•Always allow the engine to cool down completely to avoid burns.
•Avoid raising your arms when removing the oil drain plug with your fingers to help
prevent oil from running down your arm.
•Use a suitable container when draining the used oil. It must be at least large enough to
hold the entire quantity of engine oil required for refilling.
•Never store engine oil in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original
containers as people finding these containers may not know that they contain engine
oil.
•Engine oil is toxic and must be stored out of the reach of children.
