Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camer

a is a system that consists of
four cameras. The cameras cover the immediate
vehicle surroundings. The system assists you
when you are parking or at exits with reduced visi-
bility, forexample.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa-
ble when driving forwards up to a speed of
approx. 16 km/h and when reversing.
The 360° Camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly
or not show them at all. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the surroundings. The responsi-
bility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains
with you. Make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects etc., in the manoeuvring area
while manoeuvring and parking. The system evaluates images from the following
camer

as:
= Reversing camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors
% You can open the cover of the reversing cam-
er
a manually (  page 291).

The 360° Camer

a will not function or will only
partially function in the following situations:
= The doors are open.
= The outside mirrors are folded in.
= The tailgate is open.
= There is heavy rain, snow or fog.
= The light conditions are poor, e.g. at night.
= Cameras, or vehicle components in which the
cameras are Ntted, are damaged, dirty or cov-
ered. Observe the information on vehicle sen-
sors and cameras ( page 237).
% Do not use the 360° Camera under such cir-
cums

tances. You could otherwise injure oth-
ers or collide with objects when parking the
vehicle.
For technical reasons, the standard height of the
v
ehicle 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. 290

Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
P

arking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system with ultrasound. It monitors
the area around your vehicle using multiple sen-
sors on the front bumper and on the rear bumper.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC shows you the dis-
tance between your 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. 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.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately
0.3 m to an obstacle in front and approximately
1.0 m to an obstacle behind. A continuous warn-
ing tone sounds from a distance of approximately
0.2 m. Using the Warn early all-round setting in
the multimedia system, the warning tones for
front and side impact protection can be set to Driving and parking
291

sound at a greater distance of approximately
1.0 m in fr ont and 0.6 m on the sides
(  page 295).
% The Warn early all-round se
tting is always
active in the rear of the vehicle.

parking and an obs
tacle is detected in the path of
travel, a PARKTRONIC Parking Assist pop-up win-
dow is displayed in the multimedia system at
speeds below 10 km/h mph 1.
The colour of the individual segments of the warn-
ing display is based on the distance to the detec-
ted obstacle:
= Yellow segments: obstacles at a distance
between approx. 0.6 m and 1.0 m
= Orange segments: obstacles at a distance

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. 292
Driving and parking

=
Obs tacles above the detection range, e.g.
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of lorries.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush.
Otherwise, they may not function correctly. Clean
the sensors regularly, especially aser driving oM-
road, taking care not to scratch or damage them
(  page 237).
Vehicles with trailer hitch: Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear zone
when you establish an electrical connection
between your vehicle and a trailer. Problems with Parking Assist PARKTRONIC Example: vehicles with 360° Camera
When rear segments 1 or all-r
ound segments
2 light up red and the

is issued and the segments light up in colour in
t
he display.
The segment colour changes depending on the
distance to the detected obstacle:
= Yellow: approximately 30 - 60 cm
= Red: less than approximately 30 cm
In order for lateral, front or rear segments to be
displayed, the vehicle must Nrst travel a distance
of at least half a vehicle's length. Once the vehicle
has travelled the length of the vehicle, all of the
lateral front and rear segments can be displayed. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display: vehicles

The vehicle or other objects could other-
wise be damaged. Requirements:

Function of Active Parking Assist
A

ctive Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system, which uses ultrasound with
the assistance of the reversing camera and 360°
Camera. When you are driving forwards up to
approximately 35 km/h, the system automatically
measures parking spaces on both sides of the
vehicle.
Active Parking Assist oMers the following func-
tions:
= Country-dependent: parking in parking spaces
parallel to the road
= Parking in parking spaces perpendicular to the
road (optionally either forwards or reverse)
= Exiting parking spaces if you have parked
using Active Parking Assist As soon as all requirements are met for searching
f
or parking spaces, the Ç display appears in
the Instrument Display.
When Active Parking Assist has detected parking
spaces, the È display appears in the Instru-
ment Display. The arrows show on which side of
the road detected parking spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media display.
The parking space can be selected as desired.
Depending on the location of the parking space,
the parking direction (rearwards or forwards) 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.
When you are entering or exiting a parking space,
the procedure is assisted by acceleration, 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 manoeuvring and parking
remains with you. Make sure that no persons, ani-
mals or objects etc. are in the manoeuvring
range. Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the fol-
lo wing situations:
= Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated.
= You begin steering.
= You apply the parking brake.
= You engage transmission position j.
= ESP n
intervenes.
= You open the doors or the tailgate while driv-
ing.
System limits
If the exterior lighting is malfunctioning, Active
Parking Assist is not available.
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 detected
during measurement of the parking space. These
are also then not taken into account when calcu-
lating the parking procedure. In some circumstan-
ces, Active Parking Assist may therefore guide
you into the parking space incorrectly. 296

&
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. Extreme weather conditions, suchas snow or
hea
vy 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.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations:
= In extreme weather conditions suchas ice,
packed snow or in heavy rain. =
When tr
ansporting a load that protrudes
beyond the vehicle.
= On steep uphill or downhill gradients of more
than approximately 15 %.
= 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.
Active Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, suchas: = Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
= Parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces. Parking with Active Parking Assist
