Deactivation by the driver or by the
system during manoeuvring will be
indicated on the display. Additionally,
an acoustic signal sounds.
The system is switched off
automatically when towing an
electrically connected trailer, bicycle
carrier, etc.
Contact your dealer to switch off the
system for a prolonged period.Fault
In the event of a fault, a message is
displayed in the Colour Info Display, accompanied by an acoustic signal.
In the event of a fault in the power
steering, H illuminates and a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.9 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
182Driving and operatingacoustic 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
gateway, 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.
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 displaysa 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 signal.

Panoramic view system
This system allows views of the
vehicle's surroundings to be
displayed as a nearly 360° picture in
the Info Display, like a bird's eye view.
The system uses: ● rear camera, installed in the tailgate
● ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper
● front camera, installed in the front
grill below the enblem
● ultrasonic parking sensors in the front bumper
The screen in the Info Display isdivided into two parts. On the right
there is a view from above the vehicle and on the left there is the view from
the rear or the front displayed. The
parking sensors complete the
information on the view from above
the vehicle.
Activation
The panoramic view system is
activated by:
● engaging a gear or gearbox in a neutral position (front view)
● engaging reverse gear (rear view)
● manual activation in the Info Display when driving not more
than 12 mph
Functionality
Different views can be selected in the left part of the display. Change the
type of view at any time during a
manoeuvre by pressing the touch
field in the left lower zone of the

186Driving and operatingAuto mode is activated by default. In
this mode, the system selects the
best view, standard, or zoom, to
display according to the information
from the parking sensors.
The state of the system is not kept in memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Standard view
The Standard view consists of a rear
view and a front view.Rear view
The area behind the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's rear bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 m and 2 m.
This view is available in auto mode or
in the view selection menu.Front view
The area in front the vehicle is
displayed in the screen. The vertical
lines represent the width of the
vehicle with mirrors unfolded. The
direction of the lines changes with the position of the steering wheel.
The first horizontal line represents a
distance of about 30 cm beyond the
edge of vehicle's front bumper. The
upper horizontal lines represent
distances of about 1 m and 2 m.
This view is available in auto mode or
in the view selection menu.
Auto mode
This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear or in the
front bumper, the automatic view
changes from rear view or front view
to a view from above, as an obstacle is approached during a manoeuvre.
Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to reconstruct a view fromabove the rear or the front of the
vehicle in its near surroundings.Thus,
the vehicle can be manoeuvred
around obstacles nearby. This view is available with auto mode or in the
view selection menu.
Driving and operating189Fault
In the event of a fault, H appears
in the instrument panel, accompanied by a display message and a warning
chime. Contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
System limitations The system performance may not
operate properly when:
● Vehicle speed is below 37 mph.
● Windscreen is not clean or affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● During nighttime driving.
● Adverse environmental conditions like heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows.
● The sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt, windscreen damage or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers.
● The sun is shining directly into the camera lens.● Close vehicles ahead.
● Driving on banked roads.
● Driving on road edges.
● Driving on roads with poor lane markings.
● Sudden lighting changes.
The system can not operate when no lane marking is detected.
Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist helps to avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. The front camera
observes the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving. If the
vehicle approaches a lane marking, the steering wheel is gently turned to
position the vehicle back into the lane. The driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn
steering wheel in same direction, if
system steers not sufficient. Turn
steering wheel gently into opposite
direction, if lane change is intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, a flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.A warning message in the Driver
Information Centre accompanied by a warning chime alerts the driver when
immediate driver´s action is required.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn lights are operated and during 20 s
after turn lights have been switched
off.
Notice
The system may be switched off if it
detects lanes which are too narrow,
too wide or too curved.
Following preconditions have to be
fullfilled:
● vehicle speed must be between 40 mph and 112 mph
● the driver must hold the steering wheel with both hands
● the change of trajectory is not accompanied by operation of theturn signals
● the Electronic Stability Control is activated and not in operation
● the vehicle is not connected to a trailer or an electric bicycle carrier
