.
Camera view when manually starting
the camera
Start the Park Assist Camera
using this button in the center
display's Function view.
The screen will first show the
most recently used camera
view. However, each time the
engine is started, the previous side view will be
replaced by the 360° view and a previously dis-
played zoomed-in rear view will be replaced by
the regular rear view.
Automatically deactivating the cameraFront view switches off when the vehicle's speed
reaches 25 km/h (16 mph) to help avoid dis-
tracting the driver. It will be automatically reactiva-
ted if the vehicle's speed falls below 22 km/h
(14 mph) within 1 minute as long as the vehicle's
speed has not exceeded 50 km/h (31 mph). Other camera views switch off at 15 km/h
(9 mph) and are not reactivated.

Park Assist Camera* (p. 386) Park Assist Camera limitations
The Park Assist Camera may not be able to
detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited.
The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for the Park Assist Camera:
WARNING Be extra cautious when
reversing if this symbol is
shown when a trailer, bike
carrier or similar is attached
and electrically connected
to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
NOTE A bike carrier and other accessories mounted
on the rear of the vehicle can obscure the
camera's view.
123
In Canada, it is also possible to select the 360° view.

Blind sectors There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of
vision.
With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles may
not be detected if they are located in the "joints"
where the edges of the individual camera views
meet.
WARNING
Even if it seems as though only a fairly small
section of the screen image is obstructed, this
may mean that a relatively large sector is hid-
den and obstacles there may not be detected
until they are very near the vehicle.
Defective cameraIf a camera sector is dark and
contains this symbol, this indi-
cates that the camera is not
functioning properly.
See the following illustration for
an example. The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.
Dark camera sector
A dark camera sector may also be displayed in
the following situations, but without the defective
camera symbol:
• a door is open
• the tailgate is open
• a rearview mirror is folded in
Lighting conditionsThe camera image is automatically adjusted
according to the current lighting conditions. This means that the brightness and quality of the
image may vary slightly. Poor lighting conditions
may result in reduced image quality.

Recommended maintenance of the
Park Assist Camera
Each of the Park Assist Cameras, located above
the license plate, the grille and in both door mir-
rors, require a certain degree of maintenance.
Clean the camera lenses regularly using luke-
warm water and car washing detergent. Wash
gently to avoid scratching the lens.
NOTE Keep the camera lens free of dirt, snow and
ice to help ensure the best functionality. This
is particularly important in poor light condi-
tions.

Park Assist Pilot*
Park Assist Pilot (

PAP 124
) helps the driver pull
into and out of parking spaces.
PAP first checks whether there is sufficient
space and then steers the car into the space.
The center display uses symbols, graphics and
messages to inform the driver of what steps need
to be taken and when.
WARNING •
The PAP function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving and
help make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and road
conditions.
• Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.
• PAP is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
NOTE The PAP function measures the space and
steers the vehicle – the driver's role is to:
• keep close watch of the area around the
vehicle
• follow the instructions on the center dis-
play
• change gears (reverse/forward) – a
"ping" sound indicates when the driver
should change gears
• regulate and maintain a safe speed
• apply the brakes and stop.

lowing steps:
1.

The system searches for and measures
potential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
3. The vehicle's position in the space is adjusted by driving forward/backward.
The Park Out function can be used to receive
assistance from PAP while pulling out of a park-
ing space. See the heading "Pulling out of a
parking space" under "Parking with Park Assist
Pilot".
Perpendicular parking Perpendicular parking overview.
The PAP function parks the vehicle using the fol-

2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the space and its position is adjusted by driv-
ing forward/backward.
NOTE The PAP function
Park Out cannot help the
vehicle leave a perpendicular parking space –
the function should only be used for parallel
parking.

NOTE The distance between the vehicle and parking
spots should be 0.5-1.5 meters (1.6-5.0 ft)
when PAP is looking for parking.
ParkingPAP parks the vehicle using the following steps:
1. The system searches for and measures
potential parking spaces.
2. The vehicle is steered while it is backing into the parking space.
3. The vehicle is positioned in the parking space (the driver may be prompted to shift
gears).
Searching for and measuring potential
parking spots
The function can be activated
in the center display's Function
view.
It can also be accessed from
the camera views. Parallel parking overview.
Perpendicular parking overview.To do so:
1.

The vehicle's speed may not exceed
30 km/h (20 mph) when parallel parking or
20 km/h (12 mph) when perpendicular park-
ing.
2. Tap Park In in Function view or in Camera
view.
>

PAP will search for a potential parking
space and measure it to determine if it is
big enough.
3. Be prepared to stop the vehicle when a graphic and message in the center display
indicate that a suitable parking space has
been found.
> A pop-up window will appear.
4. Select Parallel parking or Perpendicular
parking and engage reverse gear.
NOTE PAP searches for space for parking, shows
instructions and guides the vehicle on its pas-
senger side. But, if so desired the vehicle can
be parked on the driver's side of the street:
•
Activate the turn signals on the driver's
side – the system will then search for
space to park on that side of the vehicle
instead. 126
