Red and green frames: vehicle outline (mode 2yf.
Trailer support (mode 3yf
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket, the trailer support function can be used when
approaching a trailer drawbar. The powerful zoom level used in this mode means that obstacles
behind the vehicle appear very late.
Auxiliary lines are shown on the Infotainment system.
Red line: position of the towing bracket.
Green lines: distance to towing bracket. The distance intervals are around 0.1 m in each case.
Orange line: predicted path of the towing bracket, depending on the steering angle.
Crossing traffic (mode 4yf
This display representation helps the driver to monitor traffic behind the vehicle and can be used in
situations such as driving out of a garage or narrow exits, for example.

Park Assist
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Prerequisites
⇒ Looking for a parking space
⇒ Driving into a parking space
⇒ Driving out of a parking space
⇒ Troubleshooting
Park Assist shows parking spaces
which are suitable for parking and
assists the driver when driving into and
out of parking spaces.
Park Assist is an extension of Park Distance Control ⇒ Park Distance Control.
Park Assist automatically steers the vehicle. The driver must control the accelerator, gear changes
and brake!
Driving into a parking space using Park Assist takes place in the following steps:
•Look for a parking space.
•Drive into a parking space.
System limits
The sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences,
posts, trees and open or opening boot lids. This can result in damage to your vehicle.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors could be registered as an obstacle.
Prerequisites
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The following prerequisites must be met for driving into and out of parking spaces:
•The traction control system (TCSyfPXVWEHVZLWFKHGRQ ⇒ Brake support systems.
•Distance: maintain a distance of 0.5 – -2.0 metres when driving past the parking space.
•The parking space must have at least the dimensions required by Park Assist.
•Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces parallel to the roadyfQRWDERYH
40 km/h (25 mphyf.
•Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces perpendicular to the roadyfQRW
above 20 km/h (12 mphyf.
•Maximum speed: 7 km/h (4 mphyf. An automatic braking intervention can take place when
driving into a parking space.
The parking manoeuvre can be continued after the automatic brake intervention.
Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
•During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted
to do so by the system.
•Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.
WARNING
Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerb and other objects as guidance. Please ensure
that the wheels and tyres are not damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessary, stop the
parking procedure in good time to prevent damage to the vehicle.
NOTICE

The automatic braking intervention takes place a maximum of once per parking manoeuvre. The
parking manoeuvre will be cancelled if a speed of approximately 7 km/h (4 mphyfLVH[FHHGHGDJDLQ.
Automatic cancellation of driving in/out of a parking space
Park Assist cancels the manoeuvre for driving into or leaving a parking space if one of the following
situations occurs:
•The button is pressed.
•The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
•The driver door is opened.
•The parking operation is not completed within around six minutes.
•There is a system fault.
•TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.
Automatic braking intervention to minimise damage
In some countries, Park Assist can assist the driver with an automatic braking intervention in certain
situations ⇒.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and certain conditions, e.g. weather, load or inclination of the
vehicle, Park Assist can automatically brake the vehicle before an obstacle. Following this
intervention, the driver must depress the brake pedal. An automatic braking intervention is activated
to minimise damage and ends the parking manoeuvre.
Looking for a parking space
Fig. 157 Instrument cluster display: display of parking modes.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Park Assist has three parking modes ⇒ Fig. 157 (illustrationyf.
Reverse parallel parking.Reverse perpendicular parking.Forward perpendicular parking.
•Drive slowly past a row of parked vehicles, paying attention to the traffic.
•Press the button. Park Assist automatically searches for a suitable parking space on
the front passenger side.
•Stop when Park Assist displays a recommended parking mode on the instrument cluster
display.
•Drive into the parking space when a corresponding prompt ⇒ Fig. 158⑤ is shown on the
instrument cluster display ⇒ Driving into a parking space.
If you want Park Assist to search for a parking space on the opposite side of the road, operate the
turn signal for the corresponding side.
Changing parking mode
If Park Assist has found other alternative parking modes, these will be displayed in a miniature
view. You can select these successively by pressing the button. Park Assist will switch
itself off after selection of all found parking modes. The originally recommended parking mode is
offered when the button is pressed again.
Forward perpendicular parking
If you wish to drive forwards into a perpendicular parking space, select the parking mode Forward
perpendicular parking ⇒ Fig. 157 by pressing the button (if found by Park Assistyf.
Do not let the Park Assist braking intervention function tempt you to take any risks while
driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Park Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, the automatic braking
intervention function is only able to intervene in a limited way or not at all.
•You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
•The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Depress
the brake pedal of the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.
WARNING

Park Assist can be activated retroactively. If a suitable parking space was driven past before,
it is displayed.

Area View
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Prerequisites
⇒ Switching on and off
⇒ Display representation
⇒ Operating camera views
⇒ Troubleshooting
Area View provides you with an
overview of the area around the vehicle

in real time and allows you to detect
obstacles at an early stage.
The system uses several cameras to create an image which is displayed on the Infotainment
system display.
The functions and displays may differ in vehicles with or without Park Distance Control.
Things to note
The Area View system camera supplies two-dimensional images only. Due to the lack of depth of
field on the screen, potholes and dips in the ground, protruding parts on another vehicle or
protruding objects on the ground may be difficult or impossible to see on the image.
•When driving into or out of an uphill gradient.
•Protruding objects can disappear from the field of view of the cameras.
System limits
The camera may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences,
posts, trees and open or opening boot lids. This can result in damage to your vehicle.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors could be registered as an obstacle.
Prerequisites
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The following conditions must be met in order to display a correct image:
•The doors and boot lid must be closed.
•The area around the vehicle must be clear and fully visible.
•The surrounding area has a flat surface.
•Vehicle does not have a heavy load at the rear.
