Park assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
The park assist helps the driver to manoeuvre
the vehicle into and out of parking spaces.

roadside, ® parking in reverse perpendicular to the
road­

side

Fig.
134 Diagram: (c) parking forwards perpendicular to
the roadside without driving past, © parking forwards per­
pendicular to the roadside after driving past
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces and to manoeuvre the vehicLe into them.
You can reverse into a parking space either paral­
lel
(Â)
or perpendicular
(§)
to the roadside or drive
forwards out of a parallel space. In addition, you
can drive forwards into a perpendicular parking
space if you have already positioned the front of
the vehicle in the space (c) or have already driven
past the space (5). In the case of
(5),
the vehicle
reverses
(T),
manoeuvres into the correct position
and drives forwards into the parking space
@.

The parking space can be located between two
vehicles or behind one vehicle. The park assist
takes over the steering while the driver is parking
the vehicle in the usual way.
The park assist includes the functions of the
parking system plus
^>page
135, which assists
you during the parking manoeuvre.
The park assist sensors are located on the sides
of the front and rear bumpers. Please ensure that
the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and
any other substances which could impair the
function of the system. Notes on cleaning

Electronic stabilisation
control (ESC)
Description
The electronic stabilisation control (ESC) increa­
ses the car's stability. It reduces the tendency to
skid and improves the stability and roadholding
of the vehicle. The ESC detects critical handling
situations, such as understeer, oversteer and

wheelspin
on the driven wheels. It stabilises the
vehicle by braking individual wheels or by reduc­
ing the engine torque. The indicator
lamp^
in
the instrument cluster starts flashing as soon as
the ESC intervenes.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up under
braking until the vehicle has reached a virtual

standstill.
You can continue to steer the vehicle
even when the brakes are on
full.
Keep your foot
on the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes.
You will feel the brake pedal puLsate while the
anti-lock brake system is working.
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can shorten the braking
distance. The braking force is automatically boos­
ted if
you
press the brake pedal quickly in an
emergency. You must keep pressing the brake
pedal until the danger has passed. On
vehides

with adaptive cruise control*, the response of the
brake assist system will be more sensitive if you
are too close to the vehicLe in front.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of
wheelspin,
the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match the
amount of grip available. This helps the car to
start moving, accelerate or climb a gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes the
spinning wheel and directs the power to the
oth­

er driven wheel (or wheels on quattro* versions).
This function is not available at high speeds.
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automatically
if subjected to excessive loads. The vehicLe can
still be driven. The EDL will switch on again auto­
matically when the brake has cooled down.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilise the vehicle by changing
the steering wheel torque.
Trailer stabilisation system
Applies to: vehicles with trailer stabilisation system
Trailers have a tendency to sway. If the
ESC
de­
tects that the trailer is swaying and this is affect­
ing the towing vehicLe, it will automatically brake
the vehicle in order to stabilise the trailer

^>page
97.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control intervenes when
cornering by braking the wheel(s) on the inside of
the bend individually as required. This enables
precision cornering.
Multicollision brake assist system
The "multicollision brake assist system" can help
to reduce the risk of skidding and further
colli­

sions during an accident. If the airbag control
unit detects that
a
collision has taken place up­
wards of
a
certain speed, the vehicle is braked by
the
ESC.

The vehicle will not be braked automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator,
- or the
ESC,
the brake system or the vehicle's
electrical system are not fully functional.
WARNING
- The grip provided by the ESC and the inte­
grated systems is still subject to the physi­
cal limits of adhesion. Always bear this in

mind,
especially on wet or sLippery roads. If
you notice the systems cutting in, you
should reduce your speed immediately to
suit the road and traffic conditions. Do not

let
the extra safety provided tempt you into
taking any risks when driving - this can
cause accidents.
