Park Distance Control also switches itself on automatically if the vehicle approaches an obstacle in
the front area of the vehicle when driving forwards at a speed of less than 15 km/h (9 mph).
Automatic activation can be switched on in the Infotainment system.
Automatic activation takes place only once. Renewed automatic activation is possible under the
following conditions:
Press the button.
Switch the ignition off and then back on again.
Manoeuvre braking
If the vehicle is equipped with manoeuvre braking, the manoeuvre braking function triggers
emergency braking as soon as an obstacle is detected while reversing.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the manoeuvre braking function can also trigger emergency
braking when driving forwards.
The manoeuvre braking function helps to prevent collisions. The vehicle speed must not be higher
than 10 km/h (6 mph). The manoeuvre braking function is activated or deactivated when Park
Distance Control is switched on or off. The manoeuvre braking function is inactive for five metres
after a braking operation in the same direction of travel. The manoeuvre braking function is ready
for braking again after changing gear or position. The same restrictions apply as to Park Distance
Control.
Manoeuvre braking is not active if Park Distance Control was activated automatically.
Touch the function button in the Infotainment system to switch manoeuvre braking on and off.

Prerequisites
Parking
Troubleshooting
The rear view camera system in the rear of the vehicle makes it easier for the driver to see behind
the vehicle and provides support for parking manoeuvres.
The rear view camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen.
Depending on the operating mode, orientation lines support the view to the rear.

WARNING
Using images from the camera to estimate the distance from obstacles (people, vehicles etc.) is
inaccurate and could cause accidents and severe injuries.
Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field of vision and show objects differently and inaccurately
on the screen.

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Switching on the rear view camera system
Select reverse gear.
OR: press the button.
Switching off the rear view camera system
Drive forwards at a speed of at least 10 km/h (6 mph).

Park Assist
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Prerequisites
Looking for a parking space
Driving into a parking space
Driving out of a parking space
Troubleshooting
Park Assist shows parking spaces which are suitable for parking and assists the driver when driving
into and out of parking spaces.
Park Assist is an extension of Park Distance Control Park Distance Control
Park Assist automatically steers the vehicle. The driver must control the accelerator, gear changes
and brake Safety notes on the parking systems

WARNING
Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted to do so by
the system.
Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.

NOTICE
Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerbs and other objects as guidance. Make sure that the tyres
and wheel rims are not damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessary, stop the parking procedure
in good time to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Prerequisites
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The following prerequisites must be met for driving into and out of parking spaces:
The traction control system (TCS) must be switched on Brake support systems
Distance: maintain a distance of 0.5 2.0 metres when driving past the parking space.
The parking space must have at least the dimensions required by Park Assist.
Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces parallel to the road): not above
40 km/h (25 mph).
Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces perpendicular to the road): not above
20 km/h (12 mph).
Maximum speed: 7 km/h (4 mph). An automatic braking intervention can take place when driving
into a parking space.
No trailer is connected electrically with the factory-fitted towing bracket Notes on towing a
trailer
The parking manoeuvre can be continued after the automatic brake intervention.
The automatic braking intervention takes place a maximum of once per parking manoeuvre. The
parking manoeuvre will be cancelled if a speed of approximately 7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again.

WARNING
Do not let the automatic braking intervention triggered by Park Assist tempt you to take any risks
while driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Park Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, automatic braking intervention may
function only in a limited way or not at all.
You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Depress the brake
pedal of the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.
Looking for a parking space
