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 97.
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 90 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour-Info-Display 3 95, 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.
one second) activates or deactivates
the advanced parking assist, see
separate description below.

Driving and operating153metres for parallel parking slots or six
metres for perpendicular parking slots
after the Stop message is given. The
system calculates the optimal path
into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and
gearshifting. The driver must keep
hands away from the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take
over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Display indication
The instructions in the display show:
● general hints and warning messages
● a hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in guiding mode
● the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected
● the direction of driving during the
parking manoeuvre
● the demand to gearshift rearwards or forwards
● the demand to accelerate or brake
● for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the
Driver Information Centre
● successful parking manoeuvre indicated by a pop-up symbol
and a chime
● the cancelling of a parking manoeuvreDisplay priorities
Advanced parking assist indication on
the Driver Information Centre can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing SET/CLR on
the turn signal lever, advanced
parking assist instructions appear
again and the parking manoeuvre can be continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
● a long press of D
● parking manoeuvre successfully ended
● driving faster than 18 mph during
parking slot search
● driving faster than 5 mph during parking guidance
● driver interference on steering wheel detected
● exceeding the maximum number
of gear changes: eight parking
cycles when parallel parking or
five cycles when perpendicular
parking
● switching off the ignition
