Fault
In the event of a fault or if the system does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, a
message pops-up in the Driver
Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 98.Advanced parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
the advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle into a parallel or
perpendicular parking slot.
Instructions are given in the Driver
Information Centre 3 92 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour Info Display 3 96, supported
by acoustic signals.
The driver must control acceleration,
braking and gearshifting, while
steering is done automatically.
Advanced parking assist can only be activated when driving forwards.Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking
assist, see previous section. Both
systems use the same sensors in the front and rear bumper.
Button D and operation logic
Advanced parking assist and front-
rear parking assist both use the same
button for activation and deactivation:
A brief press of D activates or
deactivates the parking assist.
A long press of D (approx.
1 second) activates or deactivates the
advanced parking assist, see
separate description below.

Driving and operating157Deactivation by the driver or by the
system during manoeuvring will be
indicated by Parking Deactivated on
the display. Additionally, an acoustic
signal sounds.
Fault
A message appears when:
● there is a fault in the system
● the driver did not successfully complete the parking manoeuvre
● the system is not operational
● any of the deactivation reasons described above apply
If an object is detected during parking instructions, Stop is indicated on the
display. Removing the object will resume the parking manoeuvre. If the
object is not removed, the system will
be deactivated. A long press of D
will activate the system and search for
a new parking slot.Basic notes on parking assist
systems9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
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.
Notice
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

158Driving and operatinggateway, 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.
Notice
If engaging a forward gear and
exceeding a certain speed, the
parking assist will be deactivated
when the rear carrier system is
extended.
If engaging reverse for the first time,
the parking assist will detect the rear carrier system and provide an
acoustic signal. Press r or D
briefly to deactivate the parking assist.
Notice
After production, the system
requires a calibration. For optimal
parking guidance, a driving distance
of at least 6 miles, 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
displays 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 light.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forwards, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, a yellow
warning symbol B will illuminate in
the relevant exterior mirror. If the
driver then activates the turn lights,
the warning symbol B starts flashing
yellow as a warning not to change
lanes.
Notice
If the overtaking vehicle is at least
6 mph faster than the vehicle being
overtaken, the warning symbol B in
the relevant exterior mirror may not
illuminate.

Vehicle care189The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 227.
Identify the respective tyre.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of
Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
9 Warning
For specific tyres the
recommended tyre pressure as
shown in the tyre pressure table
may exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
Never exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition. After
adjusting tyre pressure switch on
ignition and select the relevant setting on the page Tyre load in the Driver
Information Centre 3 92.
Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase. Tyre pressure
values provided on the tyre
information label and tyre pressure
chart are valid for cold tyres, which
means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly
1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperature
increase. This must be considered
when warm tyres are checked.
The tyre pressure value displayed in
the Driver Information Centre shows
the real tyre pressure. A cooled down tyre will show a decreased value,
which does not indicate an air leak.Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The tyre pressure monitoring system
checks the pressure of all four tyres
once a minute when vehicle speed
exceeds a certain limit.Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle operating permit.
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Vehicle Information
Menu in the Driver Information
Centre.

190Vehicle careThe menu can be selected by
pressing the buttons on the stalk.
Press MENU to select the Vehicle
Information Menu X.
Turn the adjuster wheel to select the
tyre pressure monitoring system.
System status and pressure warnings
are displayed by a message with the
corresponding tyre flashing in the
Driver Information Centre.
The system considers the tyre
temperature for the warnings.
Temperature dependency 3 188.
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 90.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 227.
If
w flashes for 60-90 seconds then
illuminates continuously, there is a
fault in the system. Consult a
workshop.
After inflating, some driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after some driving,
this could be an indicator for
approaching a low tyre pressure
condition. Check tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 98.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w
illuminates continuously.
A spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel is not equipped with pressure
sensors. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational
for these tyres. Control indicator w

Vehicle care191illuminates. For the further three
tyres, the system remains
operational.
The use of commercially-available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
Operating electronic devices or being
close to facilities using similar wave
frequencies could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre pressure monitoring system sensors
must be dismounted and serviced.
For the screwed sensor; replace
valve core and sealing ring. For the
clipped sensor; replace complete
valve stem.
Vehicle loading status Adjust tyre pressure to load condition
according to the tyre information label or tyre pressure chart 3 227, and
select the appropriate setting in the
menu Tyre Load in the Driver
Information Centre, Vehicle
Information Menu 3 92 . This setting is
the reference for the tyre pressure
warnings.The Tyre Load menu only appears if
the vehicle is at a standstill and the
parking brake is applied. On vehicles
with automatic transmission the
selector lever has to be in P.
Select:
● Light for comfort pressure up to
3 people.
● Eco for Eco pressure up to
3 people.
● Max for full loading.
Tyre pressure sensor matching
process
Each pressure sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code must be matched to a new tyre /
wheel position after rotating the tyres
or exchanging the complete wheel set and if one or more pressure sensors
were replaced. The pressure sensor
matching process should also be
performed after replacing a spare tyre
with a road tyre containing the
pressure sensor.
The malfunction light w and the
warning message or code should go
off at the next ignition cycle. The
sensors are matched to the wheel
positions, using a relearn tool, in the following order: left side front wheel,
right side front wheel, right side rear
wheel and left side rear wheel. The
turn light at the current active position
is illuminated until sensor is matched.
Consult a workshop for service. There are 2 minutes to match the first wheelposition, and 5 minutes overall to
match all four wheel positions. If it
takes longer, the matching process
stops and must be restarted.

192Vehicle careThe tyre pressure sensor matchingprocess is:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission automated: Press
and hold brake pedal. Move and
hold the selector lever for
5 minutes in position N until P is
displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. P indicates
that the sensor matching process
can be started.
On vehicles with manual
transmission: select neutral.
4. Use MENU on the stalk to select
the Vehicle Information Menu in
the Driver Information Centre.
5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to
the tyre pressure menu.
6. Press SET/CLR to begin the
sensor matching process. A
message requesting acceptance
of the process should be
displayed.7. Press SET/CLR again to confirm
the selection. The horn sounds
twice to indicate that the receiver
is in relearn mode.
8. Start with the left side front wheel.
9. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.Then press the button to activate
the tyre pressure sensor. A horn
chirp confirms that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to this wheel position.
10. Proceed to the right side front wheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9.
11. Proceed to the right side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9.
12. Proceed to the left side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 9. The horn sounds twice
to indicate that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to the left side rear
wheel, and the tyre pressure
sensor matching process is no
longer active.
13. Turn off the ignition.14. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure level
as indicated on the tyre
information label.
15. Ensure the tyre loading status is set according to the selected
pressure 3 92.
Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm.
