Park Distance Control
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Switching on and off
⇒ Display representation
⇒ Settings
⇒ Troubleshooting
The Park Distance Control system
assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking.
Park Distance Control detects the distance from an obstacle by means of sensors in the front and
rear bumpers ⇒ Vehicle overviews. If there is an obstacle in the detection range of the sensors, the
system indicates this on the Infotainment system and by means of signal tones.
System limits
The sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences,
posts, trees, very low or high obstacles and open or opening boot lids.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors could be registered as an obstacle.
Switching on and off

Introduction
Switching on Park Distance Control
•Select reverse gear.
•OR: press the button or .
The intelligent technology used in the parking systems cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra
convenience afforded by the parking systems tempt you into taking any risks when
driving. The parking systems cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.
•Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
•Keep looking in the direction in which you are parking and at the relevant area
surrounding the vehicle.
•Do not allow the displays in the instrument cluster and the images shown in the
Infotainment system to distract you from the traffic.
•Always monitor the area around the vehicle as the parking systems will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
•The parking systems have blind spots in which obstacles and people are not
registered.
•External sources of sound and certain surfaces on objects and clothing may influence
the sensors' signals. In certain circumstances, the systems will be unable to detect or
properly detect people and objects.
•Certain objects, for example narrow posts or railings, may be difficult or impossible to
see on the screen because of its low resolution or poor light conditions.
•When approaching objects at high speeds, the parking systems' signals and displays
may not respond quickly enough to emit a warning.

⇒ Troubleshooting
The rear view camera system in the
rear of the vehicle makes it easier for
the driver to see behind the vehicle and
provides support for parking
manoeuvres.
The rear view camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system
screen. Depending on the operating mode, orientation lines support the view to the rear.
Modes for the rear view camera system
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following operating modes are available:

The automatic braking intervention takes place a maximum of once per parking manoeuvre. The
parking manoeuvre will be cancelled if a speed of approximately 7 km/h (4 mphyfLVH[FHHGHGDJDLQ.
Automatic cancellation of driving in/out of a parking space
Park Assist cancels the manoeuvre for driving into or leaving a parking space if one of the following
situations occurs:
•The button is pressed.
•The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
•The driver door is opened.
•The parking operation is not completed within around six minutes.
•There is a system fault.
•TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.
Automatic braking intervention to minimise damage
In some countries, Park Assist can assist the driver with an automatic braking intervention in certain
situations ⇒.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and certain conditions, e.g. weather, load or inclination of the
vehicle, Park Assist can automatically brake the vehicle before an obstacle. Following this
intervention, the driver must depress the brake pedal. An automatic braking intervention is activated
to minimise damage and ends the parking manoeuvre.
Looking for a parking space
Fig. 157 Instrument cluster display: display of parking modes.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Park Assist has three parking modes ⇒ Fig. 157 (illustrationyf.
Reverse parallel parking.Reverse perpendicular parking.Forward perpendicular parking.
•Drive slowly past a row of parked vehicles, paying attention to the traffic.
•Press the button. Park Assist automatically searches for a suitable parking space on
the front passenger side.
•Stop when Park Assist displays a recommended parking mode on the instrument cluster
display.
•Drive into the parking space when a corresponding prompt ⇒ Fig. 158⑤ is shown on the
instrument cluster display ⇒ Driving into a parking space.
If you want Park Assist to search for a parking space on the opposite side of the road, operate the
turn signal for the corresponding side.
Changing parking mode
If Park Assist has found other alternative parking modes, these will be displayed in a miniature
view. You can select these successively by pressing the button. Park Assist will switch
itself off after selection of all found parking modes. The originally recommended parking mode is
offered when the button is pressed again.
Forward perpendicular parking
If you wish to drive forwards into a perpendicular parking space, select the parking mode Forward
perpendicular parking ⇒ Fig. 157 by pressing the button (if found by Park Assistyf.
Do not let the Park Assist braking intervention function tempt you to take any risks while
driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Park Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, the automatic braking
intervention function is only able to intervene in a limited way or not at all.
•You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
•The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Depress
the brake pedal of the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.
WARNING

Park Assist can be activated retroactively. If a suitable parking space was driven past before,
it is displayed.
