0.3 m toan obs tacle in front and appr oximately
1. 0 m toan obs tacle behind. A continuous tone
sounds from a di stance of appr oximately 0.2 m.
Using theWa rnear lysetting, you can set the
wa rning tone in the multimedia sy stem so that it
will sound earlier at a greater dis tance of appr ox‐
imately 1.0 m .
% The Warnear lysetting is alw ays active in
th ere ar of theve hicle.
If Pa rking Assist is deactivated and an obs tacle
is de tected in the path of theve hicle, a pop-up
window forPa rking Assist PARKTRONIC appears
in the multimedia sy stem at speeds below
10 km/h.
Sy stem limitations
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessa‐
ri ly take into account thefo llowing obs tacles:
R Obs tacles bel ow the detection range, e.g.
pe rsons, animals or objects. R
Obs tacles ab oveth e de tection range, e.g.
ove rhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ra mp s of lor ries.
As a result of additional accessories (e.g. licence
plate brac ket or bicycle rack )th e actual dis tance
to an obs tacle may not cor respond tothe dis‐
ta nce measu redby Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
under ce rtain conditions.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush.
Otherwise, they may not function cor rectly.
Clean the sensors regularly, taking care not to

AT TENTION ASSIST is unable tocalculate the
attention le vel and cannot issue a warning, the
System suspended messageappears.
If AT TENTION ASSIST is deactivated, theé
symbol appears in the assis tance graphic in the
instrument display when the engine is running.
AT TENTION ASSIST is activated automatically
when the engine is re-sta rted. The last selected
sensitivity le velre mains stored.
Sy stem limitations
AT TENTION ASSIST is active in the 60 km/h to
200 km/h speed range.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
re stricted, and warnings may be dela yed or not
occur at all in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifyo u ha vebeen driving for less than appr ox‐
imately 30 minutes.
R Ifth ero ad condition is poor (une venro ad
sur face or po tholes).
R Ifth ere is a strong side wind.
R Ifyo u adopt a sporty driving style (high cor‐
nering speeds or high rates of acceleration).
R Ifth e time has been set incor rectl y. R
In active driving situations, if youch ange
lanes and vary your speed frequentl y.
The ATTENTION ASSIST tiredness or alertness
assessment is dele ted and restar ted when con‐
tinuing the journey in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifyo u swit choff the engine.
R Ifyo u unfas tenyo ur seat belt and open the

Blind Spot Assist uses two lateral, rear-facing
ra dar sensors tomonitor the area up to3 m
behind and next toyour vehicle.
If a vehicle is de tected at speeds ab ove appr ox‐
imately 30 km/h and this vehicle subsequently
enters the monitoring range next to yourvehicle,
th ewa rning lamp in the outside mir ror lights up

If a vehicle is de tected close tothe side of your

cator in the cor responding direction, a warning
to ne sounds once. If the turn signal indicator
re mains switched on, all other de tected vehicles
are indicated only bytheflashing of thered

WARNING Risk of accident despi teBlind
Spot Assi st
Blind Spot Assi stdoes not react tovehicles
approaching and overtaking you at a greatly
di fferent speed.
As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in this situation. #
Alw ays pay careful attention tothe traf‐
fi c situation and maintain a safe dis‐
ta nce at the side of theve hicle. Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may
failto
de tect some vehicles and is not a substitute for
attentive driving. Alw ays ensure that there is suf‐
fi cient di stance tothe side forot her road users
and obs tacles.
Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be limited in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R The sensors are dirty or co vered.
R Poor visibility, e.g. due tofog, heavy rain,
snow or spr ay. R
Narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles, are within the
monitoring range.
Wa rnings may be issued in er ror when driving
close tocrash ba rriers or similar solid lane bor‐
ders. Warnings may be inter rupte d when driving
alongside long vehicles, forex ample lor ries, for a
prolonged time.
Blind Spot Assist is not operational when reve rse

Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
conta ct aqualified specialist workshop. Information on
there commended tyre pressure
fo rth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap (/ page 287).
Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure.
Ve hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: you can also check the tyre pressure using
th e on-board computer.
Only cor rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
A rise in the tyre temp erature of 10°C increases
th e tyre pressure byappr ox.10 kPa (0.1 bar/
1. 5 psi). Take this into account when checking
th e tyre pressure of warm tyres. Ty
re pressure table The tyre pressure
table is on the inside of the
fuel filler flap. The tyre pressure
table sho ws there commended
tyre pressure for all tyres appro vedfo rth is vehi‐
cle. The recommended tyre pressures apply for
cold tyres under various operating conditions,
i.e. loading and/or speed of theve hicle. If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pres‐
sure,
the tyre pressure information following is
only valid forth ose tyre sizes.
If th e preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
th e+ symbol, the tyre pressure information
fo llowing sho wsalternative tyre pressures.
These tyre pressures may impr oveyour vehicle's
ri de comfort. Fuel consum ption may then
increase slightl y.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in theta ble for dif fere nt num‐
be rs of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may dif fer from this.
