Advanced parking assist
9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
the advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle while parking.
Advanced parking assist provides
assistance for the following
manoeuvres:
● entry into a parallel parking slot
● entry into a perpendicular parking
slot
● exit from a parallel parking slot
The driver must control acceleration, braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically. The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.
It may be necessary to move forwards and backwards more than once.
Instructions are given in the Info
Display 3 74.
Advanced parking assist can only be activated when driving forwards.
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist.
The system has six ultrasonic parking
sensors each in both the rear and
front bumper.
Entry into a parallel parking slot
Activation
Slow down the vehicle speed below
19 mph.
To search for a parking slot, activate
the system in the Info Display 3 74.
Select the parallel parking slot menu.
Select parking side by switching on
the turn light on the respective side.
The allowed parallel distance
between the vehicle and a row of
parked cars is between 0.5 m and
1.5 m.
The system will not identify slots that are clearly smaller or larger than the
vehicle.
Driving and operating143
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.
During the parking manoeuvre, the
system is automatically deactivated
once the rear of the vehicle is within
50 cm of an obstacle.
Exiting a parallel parking slot
Activation
When exiting a parallel parking slot,
activate the system in the Info Display 3 74.
Select the exiting a parallel parking
slot menu.
Select exit side by switching on the
respective turn light.
Engage reverse or forward gear,
release the steering wheel and start
moving without exceeding 3 mph.
Move forwards and backwards while
observing the warnings of the parking
assist until the end of manoeuvre is
indicated.
The manoeuvre is complete when the vehicle's front wheels are out of the
parking slot.
After deactivation check control over
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
Deactivation
The current park assist manoeuvre is cancelled via the button to return to
the previous screen in the Info
Display. To deactivate the system
completely, press e in the centre
console.
Driving and operating145Notice
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
Side blind zone alert assist helps to
avoid crashes due to unintentional
lane departures when an object is
detected 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 zone assistant system
is only a lane changing aid and does not replace driver vision.
Side blind zone assistant does not detect:
● Vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching.
● Pedestrians or animals.
● Non-moving objects, e.g. stationary vehicles, street
lights, road signs, etc.
Failure to use proper care when changing lanes may result in
damage to the vehicle, injury, or
death. Always check the outside
and rearview mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signal before changing lanes.
Activation
The system can be activated via the
vehicle settings menu in the Info
Display.
Info Display 3 74.
