The FEB system can help you to minimize the
risk of a collision with the vehicle in front or
reduce the effects of such a collision
If the FEB system detects that there is a risk
of a collision, you will be warned visually and
audibly. If you do not react to the visual and
audible collision warning, autonomous brak-
ing can be initiated in critical situations. If you
apply the brake yourself in a critical situation,
the adaptive brake assist function assists
you.
Distance warning function
The distance warning function can help you
to minimize the risk of a collision with the
vehicle in front or reduce the effects of such a
collision. If the distance warning function de-
tects that there is a risk of a collision, you will
be warned visually and audibly.
The distance warning function issues a warn-
ing at speeds:
•Of approximately 20 MPH (30 km/h) or
more, if, over several seconds the distance
maintained to the vehicle traveling in front
is insufficient. The distance warning light
then lights up in the combination meter.
•Of approximately 4 MPH (7 km/h) or
more, if you rapidly approach a vehicle in
front. An intermittent warning tone will
then sound and the distance warning light
will light up in the combination meter.
If a warning is issued:
•Brake immediately in order to increase the
distance from the vehicle in front.
or
•Take evasive action provided it is safe to
do so.
WARNING
Due to the nature of the system, particu-
larly complicated but non-critical driving
conditions may also cause the system to
display a warning.
Up to a speed of approximately 45 MPH
(70 km/h), the distance warning function can
also react to stationary (stopped or parked)
vehicles.
If you approach a stationary vehicle and the
distance warning function detects a risk of a
collision, the system will alert you both visu-
ally and acoustically.

FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the FEB system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
•The FEB system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
•The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
–Pedestrians or animals
–Oncoming vehicles
–Crossing vehicles
•The radar sensor has some performance
limitations. For stationary vehicles, the
FEB system will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds over:
–
Approximately 31 MPH (50 km/h) for
the Autonomous braking function.
•The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
–Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-
ering the radar sensor.
–Interference by other radar sources.
–Snow or heavy rain.
–If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g.
motorcycle).–If the vehicle ahead is in a different
lane.
–Under strong radar reflections, for
example, in a multi-level parking ga-
rage.
–New vehicle or after a maintenance
of the FEB system. For additional in-
formation, see "Break-in schedule"
later in this section
–When driving on a steep downhill
slope or roads with sharp curves.
–When towing a trailer.
•In some road or traffic conditions, the
FEB system may intervene unnecessar-
ily or give an unnecessary warning. Al-
ways pay careful attention to the traffic
situation. Do not rely solely on the dis-
tance warning function and terminate
the intervention if necessary.
•Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.
•The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,
for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. Be sure that you check, clean and
clear the sensor area regularly.
•Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY

ACTIVE SOUND ENHANCEMENT
The active sound enhancement generates
sounds according to engine speed through
the speakers
2and woofer1(if equipped)
to enhance the quality of the engine sound.IPA is an electronic parking aid with ultra-
sound. It detects vehicles and open spaces on
both sides of the vehicle. A parking symbol
indicates a suitable parking space. Active
steering intervention can assist you during
parking and when exiting a parking space.
The driver controls the accelerator, brake and
gear shift. You may also use the Camera Aid-
ing Sonar (parking sensor) function (see "
Camera Aiding Sonar (parking sensor) func-
tion (if equipped)" later in this section).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute
for your attention to the immediate sur-
roundings. The responsibility for safe
maneuvering and parking remains with
you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or
objects are in the maneuvering range
•When the sonar (parking sensor) func-
tion is deactivated, IPA is also unavail-
able.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can
drive onto areas of the oncoming lane.
This could cause you to collide with
other road users. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop
the vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA
parking procedure
•This system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.

INTELLIGENT PARKING ASSIST (IPA)
(IF EQUIPPED)
5-70Starting and driving

CAUTION
Do not drive over obstacles such as curbs,
as you may damage the wheels or tires.
IPA may also display spaces not suitable for
parking, for example:
•Parking or stopping prohibition.
•In front of driveways or entrances and
exits.
•Unsuitable surfaces.
Parking tips:
•On narrow roads, drive as closely as pos-
sible past the parking space.
•Parking spaces that are littered or over-
grown might be identified or measured
incorrectly.
•Parking spaces that are partly occupied by
trailer towing bars might not be identified
as such or be measured incorrectly.
•Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a park-
ing space being measured inaccurately.
•Pay attention to the sonar function warn-
ing messages during the parking proce-
dure.
•You can intervene in the steering proce-
dure to correct it at any time. IPA will then
be canceled.
•When transporting a load which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use IPA.
•Never use IPA when snow chains are fit-
ted.
•Make sure that the tire pressures are al-
ways correct. This has a direct influence on
the parking characteristics of the vehicle.
Use IPA for parking spaces that are:
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction
of travel.
•On straight roads, not bends.
•On the same level as the road, e. g. not on
the sidewalk.
For vehicles with the towbar folded out, the
minimum length for parking spaces is slightly
longer.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle,
you may not use IPA. Once the electrical
connection is established between your ve-
hicle and the trailer, IPA is no longer available.
The sonar function is deactivated for the rear
area
DETECTING PARKING SPACES
The IPA system can only be used to park in
spaces that have vehicles directly on either
side of the parking space.
Objects located above the height range of
IPA will not be detected when the parking
space is measured. These are not taken into
account when the parking procedure is calcu-
lated, e. g. overhanging loads, tail sections or
loading ramps of goods vehicles.
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection
range, IPA may steer too early. This could
cause a collision. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and switch off the IPA.
For further information on the detection
range see "Range of the sensors" later in this
section.

PARKING
NOTE
When the sonar function detects obstacles,
you are responsible for braking in good time.
1. Stop the vehicle when the parking symbol
shows the desired parking space in the
combination meter
2. Shift into position R.
The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
3. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
4. To park using IPA press thebutton
on the steering wheel. The Park Assist
[Observe surroundings] message appears
in the vehicle information display.
5. Release the steering wheel.
6. Back up the vehicle, being ready to brake
at all times. When backing up, drive at a
speed below 5 MPH (10 km/h). Other-
wise, IPA will be canceled.
7. Stop as soon as the sonar function sounds
the continuous warning tone, if not be-
fore. Maneuvering may be required in
tight parking spaces.The [Park Assist active Select D Observe
surroundings] message appears in the ve-
hicle information display.
8. Select transmission position D (Drive)
while the vehicle is stationary.
IPA immediately steers in the other direc-
tion.
The [Park Assist Observe surroundings]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
NOTE
You will achieve the best results by wait-
ing for the steering procedure to com-
plete before pulling away.
9. Drive forwards and be ready to brake at
all times.
Maneuvering may be required in tight
parking spaces. Drive forward and back
up as prompted by the IPA and sonar
function warning displays, several times if
necessary.
10. Stop as soon as the sonar function
sounds the continuous warning tone, if
not before.
The [Park Assist active Select R] [Ob-
serve surroundings] message appears in
the vehicle information display.As soon as the parking procedure is
complete the [Park Assist switched off]
message appears and a warning tone
sounds. The vehicle is now parked.
11. Before leaving the vehicle, secure the ve-
hicle against rolling away unintentionally:
•The electric parking brake must be ap-
plied.
•The transmission must be in position P
(Park) and the transmission position
display must show P in the vehicle
information display.
•The key must be removed from the
ignition switch.
•On uphill or downhill gradients, the
front wheels must be turned towards
the curb.
IPA no longer supports you with steering in-
terventions. When IPA is finished, you must
steer again yourself. The sonar function is still
available.
Starting and driving5-73

Parking tips:
•The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of
the location. It may be the case that IPA
guides you too far into a parking space, or
not far enough into it. In some cases, it
may also lead you across or onto the curb.
If necessary you should cancel the parking
procedure with IPA.
•During the parking maneuver, the system
will indicate when you should shift to R
(Reverse) or D (Drive). However, you can
freely choose to shift gear whenever you
feel you need to. Should the transmission
change take place too early, the parking
procedure will be canceled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
EXITING A PARKING SPACE
In order that IPA can support when exiting
the parking space:
•You need to have parked using IPA.
•The border of the parking space must be
high enough at the front and the rear.
A curb stone is too small, for example.
•The border of the parking space must not
be too wide, as the position of the vehicle
must not exceed an angle of 45 degrees to
the starting position as it is manoeuvred
into the parking space.
•A total front and back maneuvering dis-
tance of at least 1.0 m must be available.
IPA can only assist you with exiting a parking
space if you have parked the vehicle parallel
to the direction of travel using IPA.
WARNING
•IPA is only an aid. It is not a substitute
for your attention to the immediate sur-
roundings. The responsibility for safe
maneuvering and parking remains with
you.
•Make sure that no persons, animals or
objects are in the maneuvering range.
•When the sonar function is deactivated,
IPA is also unavailable.
•While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can
drive onto areas of the oncoming lane.
This could cause you to collide with
other road users. There is a risk of an
accident.
•Pay attention to other road users. Stop
the vehicle if necessary or cancel the IPA
parking procedure.
1. Start the engine.
2. Release the electric parking brake.
3. Switch on the turn signal in the direction
you are pulling away.
4.Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position D or R
The [Start Park Assist? Yes: OK No:]
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
5. To cancel the procedure: press the
button on the steering wheel or pull away
or
6. To exit a parking space using IPA: press
thebutton on the steering wheel
The Park Assist [Observe surroundings]
message appears in the display.
7. Release the steering wheel.
8. Pull away, being ready to brake at all
times Do not exceed a maximum speed of
approximately 5 MPH (10 km/h) when
exiting a parking space. Otherwise, IPA
will be canceled.
