qF
unction of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system which monitors the area
surrounding your vehicle and shows you the dis-
tance between the vehicle and a detected obsta-
cle visually and audibly.
The passive side impact protection also warns you
of obstacles to the side. These must be detected
beforehand by the sensors in the front or rear
bumper while driving by them. If you steer in the
direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. The pas-
siv

e side impact protection can be activated and
deactivated via the multimedia system.
In order for front or rear obstacles to the side to
be displayed, the vehicle must Nrst travel a dis-
tance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the
vehicle has travelled one vehicle length, obstacles
on all sides can be shown.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu-
vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces. Displays in the central display Vehicles with 360° Camera

Driving and parking

As soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is opera-
tional, t
he respective areas of the display are
shown in blue.
1 Operational, front and rear
2 Operational, all around
3 Operational, all around and obstacle detected
The colour of the display changes depending on
t
he distance to the detected obstacle:
= Blue: > 1 m (no obstacles detected)
= Yellow: approx. 1 m - 0.7 m
= Orange: approx. 0.7 m - 0.4 m
= Red: < 0.4 m
Vehicles with 360° Camera: the boundary line
shiss dynamically depending on the position and
distance of the obstacles detected.
Depending on the distance to the obstacle detec-
ted, an intermittent warning tone also sounds. You
can set the timing of the warnings in the multime-
dia system. In the Warn early setting, the system
warns you from a distance of 1 m, in the standard
setting only from 0.4 m. Vehicles with 360° Camera Vehicles with reversing camera
If you are not in the Camera & parking menu and
an obs
tacle in the vehicle path is detected, pop-
up window 1 appears in the central display if the
following requirements are met:
= Vehicles without Active Parking Assist: when
driving no faster than 12 km/h. Driving and parking

=
V ehicles with Active Parking Assist: when driv-
ing no faster than 18 km/h. Optionally, obstacles detected by Parking Assist
P

ARKTRONIC from a distance of approximately
1.0 m in front 2 and 0.7 m on sides 3 can also
be displayed in the head-up display.
System limits
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessarily
take into account the following obstacles:
= Obstacles below the detection range, e.g. per-
sons, animals or objects. =
Obs
tacles above the detection range, e.g.
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of lorries.
= Pedestrians or animals approaching the vehi-
cle from the side.
= Objects placed next to the vehicle
Obstacles on the sides are not shown in the fol-
lowing situations, for example: = You park the vehicle and switch it oM.
= You open the doors.
Aser the engine is restarted, obstacles must be
detected again by driving past them before a new
warning can be issued.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Reversing camera (  page 287)
= 360° camera ( page 289)
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and
cameras; the system otherwise cannot function
properly (  page 237). Vehicles with towbar:
If a tr ansport device, e.g.
trailer or bicycle carrier, is attached to the towbar
and the electrical connection is correctly estab-
lished, PARKTRONIC Parking Assist is deactivated
for the rear zone.

objects which are above or below the
sensors, e.g. Oowerpots or drawbars.
The vehicle or other objects could other-
wise be damaged. Requirements:

Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a sub-
stitute for your attention to the surroundings. The
responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking
remains with you. Make sure that no persons, ani-
mals or objects etc. are in the manoeuvring
range.
If Active Parking Assist is available, the Ç mes-
sage appears in the driver's display. When the system detects parking spaces,
È appear s.
The arrows show on which side of the road free
parking spaces are located. These are then shown
in the central display.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the calcu-
lated path of your vehicle. When you are entering
or exiting a parking space, the procedure is assis-
ted by acceleration, braking, steering and gear
changes.
To start the parking procedure, press the E
button ( page 301).
Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the fol-
lowing situations:
= You deactivate Parking Assist PARKTRONIC.
= You press the E button again.

= You open the driver's door. System limits
In dr
ive mode F or when the exterior lighting
is disturbed, Active Parking Assist is not available.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Reversing camera (  page 287)
= 360° Camera (  page 289)
Objects that are above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist, e.g. protruding
loads, overhangs or loading ramps of trucks or
boundaries of parking spaces, are not detected
when measuring the parking space. These are
also then not taken into account when calculating
the parking procedure. In some circumstances,
Active Parking Assist may therefore guide you into
the parking space prematurely or brake too late.
Certain environmental conditions, suchas snowfall
or heavy rain, may lead to a parking space being
measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that are
partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not be
identiNed as such or be measured incorrectly.
Only use Active Parking Assist on level, high-grip
ground. 300

WARNING Risk of accident due t o objects
located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist
If there are objects above or below the detec-
tion r
ange, the following situations may arise:
= Active Parking Assist may steer too early.
= The vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects.
There is a danger of collision! 
In these situations, do not use Active
P
arking Assist. Active Parking Assist can also display unsuitable
par

king spaces, e.g. parking spaces in which
parking is not permitted or parking spaces on
unsuitable surfaces.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations:
= In extreme weather conditions suchas ice,
packed snow or in heavy rain.
= When transporting a load that protrudes
beyond the vehicle. =
If t
he parking space is on a steep downhill or
uphill gradient.
= When snow chains are Ntted.
= When a trailer or bicycle rack is attached.
= Directly aser a tyre change or when spare
tyres are Ntted.
= If the tyre pressure is too low or too high.
= If the suspension is out of alignment, e.g. aser
bottoming out on a kerb.
= On steep inclines of more than approximately
15 %.
