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.
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 250).
Vehicles with trailer hitch: Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear zone

If a warning tone also sounds for approximately
tw
o seconds every time the vehicle is started, it
may be due to one of the following causes:
= The sensors are dirty: clean the sensors and
observe the notes on care of vehicle parts
(  page 399).
= Parking Assist PARKTRONIC has been deacti-
vated due to a malfunction: restart the vehi-
cle. If the problem persists, consult a qualiNed
specialist workshop.
Function of the passive side impact protection
Passive side impact protection is an additional
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC function which warns
the driver about obstacles at the side of the vehi-
cle. A warning is issued when obstacles are
detected between the front and rear detection
range. 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.
During the parking procedure or manoeuvring,
objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If
you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle
and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning 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

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. Driving and parking

= 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. &
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. 312

at the front of the trailer or drawbar installa-
tions. 
Pay attention to overhanging loads or
dr

awbar installations while manoeuvring. Trailer Manoeuvring Assist assists you when
r

eversing with a trailer. By means of a turning
angle sensor in the trailer coupling, Trailer
Manoeuvring Assist monitors the articulation
angle between the vehicle and trailer and adjusts
it to a speciNed value.
Trailer Manoeuvring Assist is only an aid. It is not
a substitute for your attention to the surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
