Parking assist
General information
When attaching a trailer or bicycle
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. This is confirmed by
an accoustic chime.
188Driving and operatingGraphic Info Display: The system is
ready to operate when the LED in the
parking assist button ¼ is not
illuminated.
Colour Info Display: Activate the
parking assist is in the 3 119.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles in front of the
vehicle, behind the vehicle and to the side of the vehicle.
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.
Additionally, the distance to rear, front
and lateral obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Colour
Info Display. 3 114.
Deactivation The system is deactivated
automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 10 km/h, by applying the
electric parking brake or by pressing
the parking assist button ¼.
Graphic Info Display: The system is
switched off when the LED in the
parking assist button ¼ is illuminated.
Colour Info Display: Deactivate the
parking assist in the 3 119.
System limitations
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, H
illuminates in the instrument cluster.
A message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.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.
Driving and operating191vehicle, select reverse gear, release
the steering wheel and start moving
without exceeding 7 km/h.
Move forwards and backwards as
instructed by observing the warnings of the parking assist and paying
attention to the acoustic signals until
the end of manoeuvre is indicated.
When finished, $ extinguishes in the
instrument cluster.
During the parking manoeuvre, the
system is automatically deactivated
once the rear of the vehicle is within
50 cm of an obstacle.

the vehicle.
Display indication
The instructions on the display show: ● general hints and warning messages
● the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected
● the direction of driving during the
parking manoeuvre
● the demand to shift into reverse or first gear
● the demand to stop or to drive slowly
● the successful completion of the parking manoeuvre indicated bya pop-up symbol and a chime
● the cancelling of a parking manoeuvre
Driving and operating193Objects 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
acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false
warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left
or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
available parking space after
initiating a parking manoeuvre. The
system may recognize an entry, a
gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as a parking slot. After
selecting reverse gear the system
will start a parking manoeuvre. Take care regarding the availability of the
suggested parking slot.
Surface irregularities, e.g. on construction zones, are not detected
by the system. The driver accepts
responsibility.
Side blind spot alert The side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
blind spot zone. The system displays
a visual alert in each exterior mirror,
when detecting objects that may not
be visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear bumper on both sides of the vehicle.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect:
● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching
● pedestrians, cyclists or animals
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.

Lane keep assist Lane keep assist helps to avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. A front camera located at the top of the windscreen observes
the lane markings between which the
vehicle is driving. If the vehicle
approaches a lane marking, the
steering wheel is gently turned to
position the vehicle back into the lane. The driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn
steering wheel in same direction, if
system steers not sufficient. Turn
steering wheel gently into opposite
direction, if lane change is intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, a flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
A warning message in the Driver
Information Centre accompanied by a warning chime alerts the driver when
immediate driver´s action is required.
