• The camera has blind spots, where obsta-cles cannot be detected.
• Be aware of people and animals in thevicinity of the car.
Camera viewsThe function can display a composite 360° viewand separate views for each of the four cameras:rear, front, left or right camera view. The upper-most in the selected view denotes which camerais active.

The approximate coverage area of the Park Assist Cam- eras.
The four sides of the car are shown simultane- ously in the centre display, which helps the driverto observe what is around the car when manoeu-vring at slow speeds. Every camera view can be activated separately by tapping on the screen on the desired camera's"field of vision" - e.g. in front of or above the frontcamera. If the car is also equipped with Parking assis- tance* then distance to detected obstacles is
illustrated with fields in different colours.

Backwards
The backwards-facing camera 27
is fitted above the reg-
istration plate.
The backward-facing camera shows a wide area behind the car. For certain models, part of thebumper can be seen as well as the towbar insome cases. Objects shown in the centre display may appear slightly tilted — this is normal.
NOTE
Objects on the centre display may be closer to the car than they appear to be on thescreen.
Forwards
The forwards parking camera 27
is located in the grille.
The front camera can be helpful on an exit road with limited visibility to the sides, e.g. when thereare high hedges. It is active at speeds up to25 km/h (16 mph) - following which, the frontcamera is switched off. If the car does not reach 50 km/h (30 mph), and the speed falls below 22 km/h (14 mph) within60 seconds after the forward-facing camera hasbeen switched off, the camera is reactivated.
NOTE
Automatic reactivation of the front camera on speed reduction requires that Auto Camera
Reverse Activation is selected in Settings
My CarPark Assist.
The sides
The side cameras 27
are positioned in each door mirror.
The side cameras show what is along each side of the car.

Park assist lines and fields for the Park Assist Camera *
The Park Assist Camera indicates the position of the car in relation to its surroundings by display-ing lines on the camera image.
Park assist lines
Examples of how the park assist lines can be displayed for the driver.
Park assist lines show the intended route for the car's external dimensions with the current steer-ing wheel angle - this facilitates parallel parking,reversing into tight spaces and when connectinga trailer. The lines on the screen are projected as if they were at ground level behind the car and responddirectly to steering wheel movements, showingthe driver the path the car will take - also whenthe car is turning. These park assist lines include the car's mostprotruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors andcorners.
NOTE
Park assist lines are not shown when zoom- ing in.
NOTE
•
When reversing with a trailer which is not connected electrically to the car, the lines on the display show the route the
car will
take - not the trailer.
• The screen shows no lines when a trailer is connected electrically to the car's elec-trical system.
IMPORTANT
Remember that when rear camera view is selected, the centre display only shows thearea behind the car. Keep an eye on the sidesand front of the car when turning the steeringwheel while reversing. The same applies vice versa - note what hap- pens to the rear parts of the car when thefront camera view is selected. Note that the guide lines show the
shortest
route. Therefore, pay extra attention to the car's sides so that they do not go against/over something when the steering wheel isturned when driving forward or that the frontsweeps against/over something when thesteering wheel is turned when reversing.

With the 360° view, park assist lines are shown behind, in front of and at the side of the car(depending on the direction of travel):
• When driving forwards: Front lines
• When reversing: Side lines and reversinglines.
If front camera or reversing camera has beenselected, park assist lines are displayed withoutregard to the car's direction of travel. Theselected side camera is used to show the parkassist lines only while reversing.
Towbar assist line

The camera can facilitate connecting up to a trailer by showing an assist line representing thetowbar's intended "path" to the trailer. 1. Press
Towbar (1).
> The assist line for the intended "path" of the towbar is shown. At the same time the car's park assist lines are extinguished.
2. Press
Zoom (2) when a more precise
manoeuvring is required.
> The camera view zooms in.
Park assist lines for both car and towbar cannot be shown at the same time.
Sensor field from Parking assistance *
If the car is equipped with Parking assistance *
then the distance is shown in the 360° view withcoloured fields for each sensor that registers anobstacle.
Sensor fields backwards and forwards
The screen can show coloured sensor fields on the car symbol to the right.
The fields for the front and reversing sensors change colour as the distance to the obstacledecreases — from yellow through orange to red.

Park Assist Pilot *
Active parking assistance (Park Assist Pilot - PAP) helps the driver to park in or leave a park-ing space.
PAP checks first if a space is sufficiently big and thereafter helps the driver to turn the steeringwheel and manoeuvre the car into the space. The centre display indicates with symbols, graph- ics and text the various operations to be carriedout and when to do so.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the car - the driver's task is to:
• keep a close watch around the car
• follow the instructions in the centre dis-play
• change gear (reverse/forward)
• control and maintain a safe speed
• brake and stop.

Parking with Active parking assistance *
The Active parking assistance (Park Assist Pilot - PAP) helps the driver park in three steps. Thefunction can also help the driver to leave a park-ing space.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and steers the car - the driver's task is to:
• keep a close watch around the car
• follow the instructions in the centre dis-play
• change gear (reverse/forward)
• control and maintain a safe speed
• brake and stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:
• No trailer is attached to the car.
• Speed must be lower than 30 km/h(20 mph).
NOTE
The distance between the car and parking spaces should be 0.5-1.5 metres while PAPis searching for a parking space.
ParkingThe PAP function parks the car using the follow- ing steps:
1. A parking space is identified and measured.
2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned into the space - the
system may then request that the driver changes gear.
Finding and measuring parking spaces
The function can be activated in the centre display's functionview. It can also be accessed from the camera views.
Principle for parallel parking.
Principle for perpendicular parking.
1. Drive no faster than 30 km/h (20 mph) forparallel parking or 20 km/h (12 mph) for perpendicular parking.
2. Tap on the
Park In button in function view.
> PAP searches for a parking space and checks whether it is big enough.
3. Keep an eye on the centre display - be ready to stop the car when the graphic and mes- sage indicate that a suitable parking spacehas been found.
> A pop-up window is shown.
4. Select
Parallel parking or Perpendicular
parking and select reverse gear.

NOTE
PAP searches the area for parking, displays instructions and guides the car in on its pas-senger side. But if required the car can alsobe parked on the driver's side of the street: •Activate the direction indicator to the driver's side - then the system searchesfor a parking space on that side of thecar instead.
Reversing in to the parking space
Parallel.
Perpendicular.
1. Check that there is nothing behind.
2. Reverse slowly and carefully without touching
the steering wheel - and no faster than 7 km/h (4 mph).
> PAP will then steer the car into the park-ing space.
3. Keep an eye on the centre display - be pre- pared to stop the car when the graphics and message so request.
NOTE
• Keep your hands away from the steering wheel when the PAP function is acti-vated.
• Make sure that the steering wheel is nothindered in any way and can rotate freely.
• To achieve optimum results - wait untilthe steering wheel is fully turned beforestarting to drive backward/forward.
