assist measures the distance
between the vehicle and obstacles in
front, behind and at the sides of the
vehicle. It informs and warns the
driver by giving acoustic signals and
display indication.
The system operates with ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear and front
bumper and on the flanks of the
vehicle.
Activation
In addition to the rear parking assist
and the front-rear assist, the front-
rear-lateral parking assist is triggered
when the system detects fixed
obstacles located to one or both sides
of the vehicle.Graphic Info Display: The system is
ready to operate when the LED in the parking assist button ¼ is not

personalisation 3 116.
Indication
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.

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.
Caution
Performance of the system 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 in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication 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.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
