Driving and operating159lane change, the system needs a
certain time to detect the next
preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and steer to avoid
collisions.
The system is designed to work with
all occupants wearing their seat belts.

Deactivation Active emergency braking can be
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation menu 3 103. If
deactivated a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
System limitations
In some cases, the active emergency braking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need
service. Firmly apply the accelerator
pedal to override the automatic
braking if the situation and the
surroundings permit.
In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance is
limited:
● Driving on winding or hilly roads.
● Detecting all vehicles, especially vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.
● Detecting a vehicle when weather limits visibility, such as in
fog, rain, or snow.
● During nighttime driving.● Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● The windscreen is damaged or affected by foreign items, e.g.
stickers.
Complete attention is always required while driving, and you should be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes and/or steer the vehicle to
avoid crashes.
Fault
In case the system requires a service, a message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
If the system does not work as it
should do, vehicle messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.

Parking assist
General information
When attaching a trailer or bike
carrier to the trailer hitch, the parking
assist is deactivated.9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
Rear parking assist
The rear parking assist makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
rear obstacles. It informs and warns
the driver by giving acoustic signals
and display indication.
The system operates with ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
Rear parking assist is activated when reverse gear is engaged and ignition
is switched on.
The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the parking assist button
r OFF does not illuminate.
Indication
The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
50 cm while reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you
will hear acoustic warning signals in
the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.

168Driving and operatingThe system is deactivated
automatically:
● if the ignition is switched off
● if stalling the engine
● if no manoeuvre is started within 5 minutes of selection of the type
of manoeuvre
● after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre
● if the electronic stability control (ESC) is triggered
● if the speed of the vehicle exceeds the stated limit
● when the driver interrupts movement of the steering wheel
● after 4 manoeuvre cycles
● on opening the driver's door
● if one of the front wheels encounters an obstacle
● parking manoeuvre successfully ended
Deactivation by the driver or by the system during manoeuvring will beindicated on the display. Additionally, an acoustic signal sounds.The system is switched off
automatically when towing a
electrically connected trailer.
Contact your dealer to switch off the
system for a prolonged period.
Fault
In the event of a fault, $ flashes for a
few seconds, accompanied by an
acoustic signal. If the fault occurs
during the use of the system, $
extinguishes.
In the event of a fault in the power
steering, c flashes in the instrument
panel, accompanied by a message.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.
Note
It is possible that the sensor detects a non-existing object caused by
echo disturbance from external

170Driving and operatingThe LED comes on after a delay when
passing another vehicle slowly.
Operation conditions
