Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

qFunction 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.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surround- ings. Responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals, objects, etc. in the maneuvering area while maneuvering and parking
in/exiting parking spaces.
The passive side impact protection also warns you
of obstacles to the side. During the parking proce-
dure or maneuvering, objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction ofa detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateralcollision, a warning is issued. In order for an
object on the side to be detected, the sensors in the front and rear bumper must "Nrst detect the
object while you are driving past it.
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 traveled one vehicle length, obstacles
on all sides can be shown.Driving and parking287

As soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is ready
for display, the respective areas of the display are
shown in blue.1Front and rear ready for display2All sides ready for display3Obstacles detected at the front le"s and on
the right-hand side
The color of the display changes depending on the distance to the detected obstacle:
= Blue: > 3.3 "s (1 m) (no obstacles detected)
= Yellow: approximately 3.3 "s (1 m) - 2.3 "s
(0.7 m)
= Orange: approximately 2.3 "s (0.7 m) - 1.2 "s
(0.4 m)
= Red: <1.2 "s (0.4 m)
Vehicles with 360° Camera: the boundary line
shi"ss 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(  page 290)
Standard setting:
= Front and sides: < 1.2 "s (0.4 m)
= Rear: < 3.3 "s (1 m)
Warn Early All Around :
= Front: < 3.3 "s (1 m)
= Sides: < 2.3 "s (0.7 m)
= Rear: < 3.3 "s (1 m)
A continuous warning tone sounds from a dis-
tance of approximately 0.7 "s (0.2 m), regardless
of the selected setting.

Vehicles without 360° Camera
If an obstacle is detected in the travel path and the menu Camera & Parking is not open in the
driver display, the pop-up window appears 1:
= vehicles without Active Parking Assist: at
speeds below 8 mph (12 km/h)
= vehicles with Active Parking Assist: at speeds
below 11 mph (18 km/h)Optionally, obstacles detected by Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC from a distance of approximately 3.3 "s (1.0 m) in front 2 and 2.3 "s (0.7 m) on the
side 3 can also be displayed in the head-up dis-
play.
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.
= Obstacles above the detection range, e.g.
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of trucks.
= 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 o"M.
= You open the doors.
A"ser an engine start, obstacles must be detected
again by driving past them before a warning can
be issued.
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and cameras; the system otherwise cannot function
properly (  page 228).

qFunction of Active Parking Assist
Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system, which uses ultrasound with the assistance of the rear view camera and 360°
camera. When you are driving forwards at up to
approximately 22 mph (35 km/h), the system automatically measures parking spaces on both
sides of the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist o"Mers the following func-
tions:
Vehicles with rear view camera
= Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road
Vehicles with 360° camera = Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road
= Parking in parking spaces perpendicular to the
road (optionally either forwards or reverse)
= Parking in parking spaces that can only be
detected as such due to markings (e.g. at the
roadside)
= Exiting parking spaces if you have parked
using Active Parking Assist
As soon as all requirements are met for searchingfor parking spaces, the Ç display appears on
the driver\bs display.
When Active Parking Assist has detected parking
spaces, the È display appears on the driver\bs
display. The arrows show on which side of the road detected parking spaces are located. They
are then shown on the central display.
Vehicles with rear view camera: the parking space
can be selected as desired. The vehicle is parked in reverse.
Vehicles with 360° camera: the parking space
can be selected as desired. Depending on the
location of the parking space, the parking direc-
tion (forwards or reverse) can also be selected as
desired.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn signal indicators are activated based on the calcu-lated path of your vehicle.
The parking procedure is supported by accelerat-
ing, braking, steering and gear changes.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a sub-
stitute for your attention to the surroundings. The
responsibility for safe maneuvering and parkingDriving and parking291

remains with you. Make sure that no persons, ani-mals or objects etc. are in the maneuveringrange.
Active Parking Assist will be canceled in the fol- lowing situations:
= You begin steering.
= You apply the electric parking brake.
= You engage park position ].
= ESP n
intervenes.
= You open the doors or the tailgate while driv-
ing.
System limits
If the exterior lighting is faulty, Active Parking
Assist may not function, depending on the defect.
Also observe the system limits of the following
systems:
= Rear view camera (  page 280)
= 360° camera (  page 281)
Objects located above or below the detection range of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads,
overhangs or loading ramps of goods vehicles, or
the borders of parking spaces, are not detectedduring measurement of the parking space. They
are then not taken into account when calculating
the parking procedure either. In some circumstan-
ces, Active Parking Assist may therefore guide you into the parking space incorrectly.&WARNING Risk of accident due to objects
located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist
If there are objects above or below the detec-
tion range, 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 Parking Assist.
Extreme weather conditions, such as snow or
heavy rain, may lead to a parking space being measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that are
partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not be
identi"Ned as such or may be measured incor-
rectly. Only use Active Parking Assist on level,
high-grip ground.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following situations:
= In extreme weather conditions, e.g. when
there is ice or packed snow, or in heavy rain.
= When transporting a load that protrudes
beyond the vehicle.
= On steep uphill or downhill gradients of more
than approximately 15%.
= When snow chains are installed.
= When a trailer or bicycle rack is attached.
= Directly a"ser a tire change or when spare tires
are installed.
= If the tire pressure is too low or too high.
= If the suspension is out of alignment, e.g. a"ser
you have bottomed out on a curb.
Active Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, such as:
= Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
= Parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces.292Driving and parking

sary, select the turn signal indicator accordingly.
&WARNING Risk of accident due to vehicle
swinging out while parking or pulling out
of a parking space
While parking or exiting a parking space, the
vehicle swings out and can drive onto areas of
the oncoming lane.
This could cause you to collide with objects or
other road users.
Pay attention to objects and other road
users.Where necessary, stop the vehicle or
cancel the parking procedure with Active
Parking Assist.On completion of the parking procedure, the
Active Parking Assist Finished display message
appears.Secure the vehicle against rolling away. When required by legal stipulations or local condi-
tions: turn the wheels toward the curb.\bYou can stop the vehicle and change the transmission position during the parking pro-
cedure. The system then calculates a new
vehicle path. If no new vehicle path is availa-
ble, the transmission position can be changed
again, or the process can be canceled.
