AIRMATIC

qFunction of AIRMATIC
AIRMATIC is an air suspension system with varia-
ble damping for improved driving comfort. The all- round level control system ensures the best possi-
ble suspension and constant ground clearance,
even with a laden vehicle. When driving at speed,
the vehicle is lowered automatically to improve
driving safety and to reduce energy consumption.
AIRMATIC includes the following components andfunctions:
= air suspension with automatic all-round level
control
= ADS PLUS (Adaptive Damping System with
constant adjustment of damping characteris-
tics)
= speed-dependent lowering of the vehicle level
= a comfortable suspension setting in drive pro-
grams A and 
= a Nrmer, sporty suspension setting in drive
program C
= lowering the vehicle at speeds above 75 mph
(120 km/h) in order to reduce energy con-
sumption
When driving at speeds below 50 mph (80 km/h), the vehicle is raised again to thenormal level.Driving and parking269

Rear view camera

qFunction of the rear view camera
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings. 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.
\bThe area behind the vehicle is displayed as a mirror image, as in the inside rear view mirror.Camera Views menu (top view)1Parking Assistance menu2Rear view camera with top view3Wide-angle view4Activating/deactivating Parking Assist

types of situations. You could otherwise injureothers or collide with objects when parking
the vehicle.\bThe contrast of the display may be impaired
by direct sunlight or by other light sources, e.g. when driving out of a garage. In this case,
pay particular attention.\bHave the display repaired or replaced if, forexample, pixel errors considerably restrict

360° camera

q Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras which cover the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle. The cameras assist you
when you are parking, forexample, or at exits with
reduced visibility.
The 360° Camera includes the following cameras
and evaluates their images:
= Rear view camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors
Driving and parking271

The cameras are only an aid and may show a dis-
torted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly or
not show them at all. They are not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. Responsibility
for safe maneuvering and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, ani-
mals, objects, etc. in the maneuvering area while maneuvering and parking.Menu overview &DmHrD9LHZs1Parking Assistance menu2Top view with image from the front camera3Top view with image from the rear view cam-

\bDo not use the 360° Camera under such cir-
cumstances. You could otherwise injure oth-
ers or collide with objects when parking the vehicle.
For technical reasons, the standard height of thevehicle may be altered if the vehicle is carrying a
heavy load and can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of the generated
images.
The Neld of vision and other functions of the cam-
era system may be restricted due to additional attachments on the vehicle (e.g. license plate
bracket, bicycle rack).
\bThe contrast of the display may be impaired
by abrupt, direct sunlight or by other light
sources, e.g. when driving out of a garage. In
this case, pay particular attention.\bHave the display repaired or replaced if, forexample, pixel errors considerably restrict

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.
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 riskof a lateral collision, a warning is issued. The pas-
sive 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 traveled one vehicle length, obstacleson all sides can be shown.
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.Displays in the central displayVehicles with 360° CameraVehicles with rear view camera276Driving and parking

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 display3All sides ready for display and obstacle
detected
The color of the display changes depending on the distance to the detected obstacle:
= Blue: > 3.3 s (1 m) (no obstacles detected)
= Yellow: approx. 3.3 s (1 m) - 2.2 s (0.7 m)
= Orange: approx. 2.2 s (0.7 m) - 1.2 s (0.4 m)
= Red: <1.2 s (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 3.3 s (1 m), in the
standard setting only from 1.2 s (0.4 m).
Vehicles with 360° CameraVehicles with rear view camera
If you are not in the Camera & Parking menu and
an obstacle 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 8 mph (12 km/h).
Driving and parking277

=Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: when driv-
ing no faster than 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 2.2 s (0.7 m) on
sides 3 can also be displayed in the head-up dis-
play.
Vehicles with active ambient lighting and Parking
Package with remote parking functions When Warning Support is activated, the Parking
Assist PARKTRONIC display is also accompanied
by ambient lighting. If an obstacle is detected, the ambient lighting lights up in the same color as thedisplay in the central display.
The ambient lighting which accompanies the Park-ing Assist PARKTRONIC display is only intended to
accentuate the display in the central display and does not replace it.
More information on ambient lighting:
(  page 162)\bA display message for the ambient lighting
does not occur in the area of the driver\bs dis-play or in the rear passenger compartment.\bDepending on the selected setting, other
functions may supersede the ambient lighting
eMects of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC. In this
case, the ambient lighting eMects of Parking
Assist PARKTRONIC do not occur.
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 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:
= Rear view camera (  page 270)
= 360° camera (  page 271)
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and cameras; the system otherwise cannot function
properly (  page 228).
