156Driving and operatingMaximum speed limiter
In accordance with local or national
regulations, the vehicle may be
equipped with a fixed maximum
speed limiter that cannot be disabled.
If equipped, a warning label indicating the fixed maximum speed limit (90 to
130 km/h) is located on the
instrument panel.
Deviations from the maximum speed
limit may occur briefly when driving
downhill, for physical reasons.
A warning chime will sound for
ten seconds every 40 seconds if the vehicle briefly exceeds the set limit.
Vehicles also equipped with cruise
control speed limiter: the maximum
speed cannot be exceeded by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
Parking assist
Rear parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the rear parking assist system.
The parking assist measures the
distance between the vehicle and
obstacles behind the vehicle. It
informs and warns the driver by giving acoustic signals and display
indication.
An attached trailer hitch is not
considered.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Note
Attached parts in the detection area
cause system malfunction.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system switches itself on
automatically. Readiness for
operation is indicated by a brief
acoustic signal.
The interval between the acoustic
signals becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm, the signal is continuous.

158Driving and operatingFront parking assist9Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
The front parking assist measures the
distance between the vehicle and
obstacles in front the vehicle. It
informs and warns the driver by giving acoustic signals.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the front bumper.
Activation
The system is activated automatically
at a speed up to 15 km/h.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
Indication
The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles in front of the
vehicle in a distance range up to
80 cm.
The interval between the signals
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the signal is continuous.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated
automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 20 km/h.
Manual deactivation is also possible by pressing the parking assist button
r .
When the system is deactivated
manually, the LED in the button
extinguishes.
After a manual deactivation, the front- rear parking assist is activated again
if r is pressed.
Fault
In the event of a fault or if the system
does not work temporarily, a long
beep sounds followed by a number of short beeps.
Basic notes on parking assist
system9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
Page 161 of 235

Driving and operating159external noise sources may causethe 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 sensors 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 involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification 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.
The parking assist system will not
detect objects which are out of the detection range of the sensors.
Rear view camera
The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing by displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle in
either the interior mirror or the Info
Display.
9 Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the
vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse the vehicle by only looking at the display and checkthe surrounding area behind and
around the vehicle before
reversing.
The camera is mounted above the
rear doors / tailgate.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.
Note
To achieve the optimum visibility, the rear view camera must not be
obscured by dirt, snow or ice.
