Introduction
Depending on the vehicle equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma-
neuvering.
Parking aid
The parking aid plus assists you while parking
using audio and visual signals to warn you about
objects detected in front of, behind, and next to*
the vehicle > page 174.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the center display. The lines in the rear-
view camera image help you to park and maneu-
ver > page 176.
The peripheral cameras are an addition to the
rearview camera and help you to see various
areas around the vehicle while parking and ma-
neuvering > page 176.
The rear cross-traffic assist can warn you of ap-
proaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or
exiting a parking space > page 180.
Assisted parking
Park assist helps you to locate suitable parking
spaces and to park in them and exit them. Park
assist controls the steering movements when
parking in free parking spaces. The driver is still
responsible for accelerating, braking, and shift-
ing gears. The driver must always monitor the
area around the vehicle and supervise the parking
procedure > page 181.
Settings options
You can adjust parking aid functions individually.
The adjustment options depend on the vehicle
