to the parking space so that it is hidden by
adjacent vehicles.


— Once an automatic brake activation occurs,
the system cannot initiate another activa-
tion for several seconds.
— System functions may not be available if the
ESC is limited or switched off, or if there is a
malfunction.
— If there is an audio warning signal from the
rear cross-traffic assist, then the parking aid
may not be able to provide audio warnings
about detected obstacles under certain cir-

Assisted parking
(ee eile laced)
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
If your vehicle is equipped with park assist, this
system helps you find suitable parking spaces.
Parking spaces are measured using ultrasonic
sensors on the sides of the vehicle.
The system helps you to park while the driver
monitors the vehicle's surroundings with the
parking aids, cameras*, and direct eye contact.
The vehicle moves the steering wheel autono-
mously.


Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 117.

Activating the parking space search
> To activate the parking space search, press the
Pe button in the center console, or
> To activate the parking space search when the
parking aid is switched on, press P@ in the cen-
ter display.
The LED in the button will turn on and the display
for finding a parking space will appear in the cen-
ter display > fig. 133.
Searching for parking spaces
> Drive forward to the row of parking spaces at a
low speed. For the best parking results, the ve-
hicle should be approximately 3 feet (1 m) from
the row of parking spaces.
> The parking space search is first done on the
side of your lane. To switch the side for the
parking space search, activate the turn signal
for that side. Depending on vehicle equipment,
you may also be able to press on the side next
to your vehicle in the center display.
Selecting the parking space
If the system finds a parking space that could be
suitable for the vehicle length and width, it will
158

be displayed. The system automatically suggests
a parking option @).
If the parking space allows different parking op-
tions, they can be selected manually. Press one of
the suggested parking options (@ in the center
display.
Starting the parking process
As soon as the vehicle has reached the correct po-
sition, a P will appear in the center display above
the selected parking space @). The roof in the
parking aid display @) may show the required
braking or driving direction.
> Keep the vehicle as parallel as possible to the
parked vehicles or to the side of the road.
>» Make sure that the parking space is suitable for
your vehicle >@).
> Start the assisted parking process > page 159.
Maneuvering area
The vehicle can go off course during the parking
process > A\. If there are obstacles within the
maneuvering area that block or endanger the
parking process, for example on the opposite
side of the street, a message may appear. You
may need to drive farther forward and stay closer
to the row of parking spaces.

Z\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 117.
— The driver is always responsible when enter-
ing or exiting a parking space and during
similar maneuvers.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.
@) Note
— Parking spaces classified as suitable by the
system may have been detected incorrectly.

Parking and maneuvering

The driver must decide if the parking space
displayed is suitable for the vehicle.
— Certain conditions near the parking space
may cause the parking process to fail, such
as if the parking space is near trees or posts,
or if the ground is covered, for example,
with gravel, snow, or ice.
@) Tips
— Ifyou did not drive past a suitable parking
space too quickly, the parking space search
can also be activated afterward by pressing
Pe.
— The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC)
must not be switched off during the parking
process. If the ESC intervenes, the parking
process
will be canceled.
— You can also drive into a perpendicular park-
ing space yourself and then activate the sys-
tem. If this is the case, the front of the vehi-
cle should already be in the space @)
=> page 157, fig. 131 so that the sensors
can measure the space.
— The system is not available when certain as-
sist systems are switched on.
— If there are suitable parking spaces on both
sides of the street, for example on a one-
way street, you can change the side where
the system is searching for parking spaces
by activating the turn signal for the other
side or by pressing on that side in the center
display.
— The park systems do not provide support for
assisted parking on tight curves.
Park assist
ere eure)
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
The park assist helps you when parking and exit-
ing parking spaces after the parking space
search. The park assist takes over the steering of
the vehicle while the driver accelerates, brakes,
and monitors the vehicle's surroundings. Park as-
sist can be interrupted at any time.

ZA\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 117.
— The driver is always responsible when enter-
ing or exiting a parking space and during
similar maneuvers.
— Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot
move freely, for example when on a vehicle
jack.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

@) Note
— Do not use the park assist systems when
transporting cargo that extends out of the
vehicle, when snow chains are mounted, or
when the parking space is on a hill or in-
cline.
— Park assist guides the vehicle either away
from curbs or onto them if other vehicles
are parked on the curb. Make sure that your
vehicle's tires and rims are not damaged.
Resume control of the vehicle in time or
stop the parking process if needed to pre-
vent damage.
G) Tips
Follow the legal regulations in the country
where you are located when using Park assist.
Parking with the park assists
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
Requirement: a suitable parking space must be
found and selected > page 157. The vehicle must
initially be stationary.

tomatically steers the vehicle into the parking
space while the driver presses the pedals.
>» After stopping the vehicle briefly, make sure
the actual direction the vehicle is traveling
matches the direction indicated by the park as-
sist.
> Remove your hands from the steering wheel.
> Pay attention to the path of the vehicle. If the
traffic situation permits, accelerate carefully

ZX WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 117.
— The park assist is an assist system. The driv-
er is still responsible for monitoring the ve-
hicle's surroundings and preventing colli-
sions when using the system.
— When using park assist to drive into or out
of a parking space, the steering wheel turns
quickly on its own. Reaching into the steer-
ing wheel spokes while this is happening can
result in injury.

play that specifies the direction of travel re-
quired to exit the parking space.
> Activate the turn signal on the desired side or,
depending on vehicle equipment, press that
side next to the vehicle in the center display.
» Make sure the actual direction the vehicle is
traveling matches the direction indicated by the
park assist.
> Remove your hands from the steering wheel.

space is 3 mph (5 km/h).
> Follow the visual instructions in the display and
the warning tones until the vehicle has finished
exiting the parking space.
>» The process of exiting the parking space has
ended if additional corrective movements are
no longer necessary and the specified steering
wheel angle is sufficient to drive out of the
parking space. Resume control of the steering
wheel >@).


G) Tips
You can also cancel the driving direction set
by the system by shifting between a forward
gear and reverse gear. Based on the position
of the vehicle, the system then calculates the
additional steering and driving directions for
maneuvering.

tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle engine off.
