Driver assist systems
Rear cross-traffic assist
Applies to: vehicles with rear cross-traffic assist
Fig.
121 Example diagram
Fig.
122 Infotainment: Rear cross-traffic assist display
While you are reversing, the rear cross-traffic as
sist can warn against a potential collision with
traffic approaching perpendicular to the rear of
the vehicle. The system uses the radar sensors
^page
128, Fig. 120 to monitor the area behind
and to the side of the vehicle when you are leav
ing a parking space. Where possible, it detects
objects, such as cars, as they approach the
vehi
cle
of/g.
121.
If critical cross-traffic is detected when reversing
out of a parking space, the system reacts as
fol
lows:
- Graphic display: A graphic with a red arrow
symbol appears on the infotainment display.
The arrow indicates the direction from which
the object is approaching
^>Fig.
122.
- Warning tone: A tone may sound continuously
as an additional signal when you are reversing.
-Automatic
brake
jolt: A short sharp application
of the brakes may also warn against a potential
collision with an approaching object.
Requirements for the use of the rear cross-
traffic assist:
-The parking aid must be switched on
^>page
134.
- Reverse gear must be engaged.
- The speed must not be higher than approxi
mately 12 km/h.
A
WARNING
- The purpose of the rear cross-traffic assist is
to assist the driver; it cannot prevent a
colli
sion on its own. The driver must always in
tervene personally. As the driver you are al
ways responsible for braking in good time.
- Please note that the rear cross-traffic assist
may apply the brakes unexpectedly. Always
secure your luggage to prevent damage and
possible injury.
-After an automatic brake jolt, no further
brake jolt will occur within 10 seconds.
- If the rear cross-traffic assist gives an
acoustic warning signal, the parking aid may
no Longer be able to warn you against obsta
cles it has detected.
- The radar sensor vision can be impaired, e.g.
by leaves, snow, heavy road spray or dirt.
Clean the area in front of the sensors
*>page
128, Fig. 120.
A
WARNING
The rear cross-traffic assist has certain inher
ent limitations and cannot warn against an
impending collision in every situation:
- It cannot give a warning if the vehicle is so
far into a parking space that it is hidden by
the vehicles in front and behind.
- People such as cyclists, joggers, inline skat
ers and pedestrians may not be detected in
certain situations.
- It cannot give a warning when you are
parked at an angle or parallel to the
road
side.

CAUTION

Parking aids
- To ensure that the acoustic parking aid
works properly, the sensors must be kept
clean and free of snow and ice.

Rear parking aid
Description
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid
The
rear parking aid is an acoustic parking
sys
tem.
Description
Sensors are located in the rear bumper. When
the sensors detect an obstacLe, you are alerted by
acoustic signals (beeps).
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
^>page
312.
The measuring range of the sensors starts at
about:
Rear Side
Centre
0.90 m
1.60 m
The acoustic signals sound with increasing
fre
quency as you approach the obstacle. A warning
tone will sound continuously when the vehicLe is
less than approx. 0.30 m away from the obstacLe.
Stop reversing immediately

The volume of the warning beeps will be reduced
after
a
few seconds until it is muted if the vehicLe
remains at a constant distance from a detected
obstacle (but not if the obstacle is closer than
0.30 m). If the tone is muted and the obstacLe
comes closer than before, the tone will sound
again.
If the tone is muted and the obstacle is
further away than before, no tone will sound.
Please watch the area surrounding the vehicle
when driving off.
Activating
The parking aid is switched on automatically
when reverse gear is engaged. You will hear a
brief acknowledgement tone.
Parking system plus
Description
Applies to: vehicles with parking system plus/park assist
The
parking system plus provides acoustic and
visual assistance when parking.
Fig.

Sensors are located in the front and rear bump
ers.
When the sensors detect an obstacle, you are
alerted by acoustic signals (beeps) and a graphic
display.
Please ensure that the sensors are kept free of
stickers, deposits and any other substances
which could impair the function of the system.

WARNING
-Please observe the safety warnings
oA'fi
General notes on page 134.
- For safety reasons, you should not use the
system if the position and installation angle
of the reversing camera have been changed,
e.g.
due to an accident. Have it checked by a
qualified workshop.
- Only use the reversing camera to assist you
if it is supplying you with a good and clear
picture. The quality of the picture can be im
paired by adverse light, dirt on the lens or a
defect.
- Only use the reversing camera when the
boot lid is completely closed. The orienta
tion lines and blue markings are not shown
when the boot lid is open. Please make sure
that there are no objects mounted to the
rear end of the vehicle which could block the
view of the reversing camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of
vision.
Objects on the screen are
modified and depicted inaccurately.
- In certain situations, people or objects on
the display may appear closer or further
away than they really are:
- Objects which are not touching the
ground,
such as the bumper of
a
parked
vehicle, a tow-bar or the rear end of
a
truck. In this case, do not use the orienta
tion Lines as a guide.
- When you are reversing from a horizontal
surface up a gradient or down a
hill.
-When approaching protruding objects.
- When the vehicle has been loaded with a
greater load on the rear.

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.

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

page 312.
In short parking spaces, the parking aid warning
tone will sound continuously when the vehicLe is
less than approx. 0.20 m away from the obstacle.
Stop moving immediately!
