The Park Assist system cannot be switched

trailer.
After changing a wheel
If, after changing a wheel, the vehicle stops
entering and exiting parking spaces correct-
ly, the circumference of the new wheel may
be different and the system may need to
adapt to it. The adaptation is automatic and
takes place during driving. Making turns slow-
ly and in both directions (20 km/h [12 mph])
for a few minutes may contribute to this
adaptation process ››› in Introduction on

parking mode automatically. The selected
mode is shown on the instrument panel dis-
play ››› Fig. 202

er possible parking modes is also shown

Parking System Plus* Description Fig. 207
Parking aid view on the Infotainment
syst em displ
ay. Parking aid plus assists the driv
er by giving
visual and audio w
arnings about obstacles
detected in front of and behind the vehicle.
The bumpers are fitted with sensors. When an
obstacle is detected, it is indicated by audible
signals and in the Infotainment system
››› Fig. 207.
When moving close to an obstacle, it is possi-
ble to know if the obstacle is in front of the ve-
hicle or behind it by choosing different
sounds.
The approximate measurement range of the
sensors is:
1.20 m
A 1.60 m
0.90 m
As you appr oach the obst

acle, the frequency
of the audible signals will increase. The signal
will sound continuously at around 0.30 m:
Stop!
If the separation is maintained, the warning
volume is reduced after about 4 seconds.
In order to view the entire periphery of the ve-
hicle, the vehicle must be moved a few me-
tres forwards or backwards. Thus, the missing
areas are screened and obstacles at the
sides of the vehicle are displayed C .

Help with parking and manoeuvring
A wake will indicate the anticipated forward
or backw ar
d trajectory, depending on the en-
gaged gear.
If an obstacle is located in the vehicle’s way,
the corresponding audible warning will
sound.
When the penultimate segment is displayed,
the vehicle has reached the collision zone. In
the collision zone, the obstacles are repre-
sented in red (including those out of the
path). Stop the vehicle! ››› in Introduction

If a an error or fault message appears on the

ark Assist, there is a
fault.
If the fault doesn't disappear before discon-
necting the ignition, it will not be indicated
next time the parking aid is connected.
If a rear sensor is faulty, only the obstacles in
area A are displayed

. If a front
sensor is faulty, only the obstacles in area B are displayed. Symbol

Driving
Whenever the obstacle is located in the vehi-
cl e
’s direction of travel, the corresponding
audible warning will sound.
As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the
segments are displayed closer to the vehicle.
When the penultimate segment is displayed,
this means that the vehicle has reached the
collision zone. In the collision zone, the obsta-
cles are represented in red (including those
out of the path). Do not continue to reverse

If you are equipped with the Top View
Camera*
Segments are not displayed when the vehicle
is equipped with Top View Camera*.
The Parking Aid system will issue an audible
warning for objects that are near the rear of
the vehicle, and the Top View Camera* im-
age will be available on the screen, giving a
real image of the objects around the car.
Trailer Assist
Introduction Trailer assist helps the driver to reverse and
manoeuvr
e with a tr

ailer. By moving the rotary knob of the exterior mir-
rors, the tr

ailer assist directs the trailer that is
hitched. The driver has to accelerate, change
gears and brake!
System limitations
Under certain circumstances, the camera
does not detect objects such as trailer draw
bars, bars, fences, posts or thin trees, or an
open (or opening) rear lid, which could dam-
age the vehicle.
In order to guarantee good system operation,
keep the camera clean, free of snow or ice,
and do not cover it with adhesives or other
objects. Do not allow the draw bar to be cov-
ered by external influences.
Use the trailer manoeuvre assistant only
when the rear lid is closed correctly. CAUTION
The trailer maneuver assistant does not
t ak

e the vehicle’s surrounding as a refer-
ence. No obstacle detection takes place.
The driver alone has to assess whether it is
possible to manoeuvre safely with the tow
vehicle and trailer set.

Help with parking and manoeuvring
Determine the length of the trailer's draw-
bar
In or der f
or the trailer manoeuvre assistant to
determine the length of the trailer’s drawbar,
drive the vehicle-trailer set through some
turning manoeuvres or curves. The more pre-
cisely the length of the drawbar is deter-
mined, the wider the angles that will be avail-
able when manoeuvring. The assistant subdi-
vides the maximum available end stops of the
angle indicator into four levels: approx. 30°,
45°, 60° and 75°. Note
For technical reasons, the trailer manoeu-
vr e assist

ant cannot always correctly de-
tect trailers with LED technology taillights. Operating
