that is applicable at the time.
A sign valid only with restrictions, e.g.
No overtaking at certain times, will be
displayed third ››› Fig. 214 C.
Speed warning
If the system detects that the permitted
speed is exceeded, it may warn the driver
with a “gong” and visually with a message

Trailer mode
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory and a trailer that is
electrically connected to the vehicle, it is pos-
sible to activate or deactivate the display of
specific traffic signs for vehicles with trailer,

For trailer mode, the display of speed limits
applicable to the type of trailer or to the legal
provisions can be adjusted. The speed is ad-
justed in steps of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a
range of between 60 km/h (40 mph) and
130 km/h (80 mph). If it is adjusted to a
speed greater than that which is permitted in
the country in question for driving with a
trailer, the system automatically displays the
usual speed limits, e.g. in Germany 80 km/h
(50 mph).
If the speed warning for the trailer is deacti-
vated, the system displays the speed limits
as if there were no trailer hitched. Limited operation
The traffic s

ign detection system has certain
limitations. The following cases may lead the
system to operate with limitations or not at
all:
● In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,
rain, fog or int
ense mist.
● In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-
on traffic or b
y the sun.
● When driving at high speeds.
● If the camera is covered or dirty.
● If the traffic signs are out of the camera's
field of
vision.
● If the traffic signs are partially or totally
cov
ered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other ve-
hicles.
● In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil
the regu
lations.
● In the case of damaged or bent traffic
signs.
● In the c

ase of variable messages on over-
head or g
antry signs (LED-based variable traf-
fic signs or other lighting units).
● If the maps on the navigation system are
not up-to-d
ate.
● In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles
that depict
traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on
lorries.

Smart solutions Introduction
The Park Assist system is an additional func-
tion of P
arkPi

lot ››› page 257 and helps the
driver to:
● find a suitable parking space,
● select a parking mode,
● park driving in reverse in suitable perpen-
dicul
ar and parallel spaces,
● park driving forwards in suitable perpen-
dicul
ar spaces,
● exit a parking space driving forwards from
a par al

lel space.
In vehicles with a Park Assist system and fac-
tory radio the front, rear and side areas are
represented, and the position of obstacles is
shown relative to the vehicle.
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system and its use
requires special attention by the driver ››› .
WARNING
The technology used in the park assist sys-
tem in v

olves a series of limitations inherent
in the actual system and in the use of ultra-
sonic sensors. The use of Park Assist should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
● Any accidental movement of the vehicle
coul
d result in serious injury. ●
Adapt

your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
● Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not refl
ect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect, at least cor-
rectly, these objects or people wearing such
clothes.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by e
xternal sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● The ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
which ob
stacles and people are not regis-
tered.
● Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, sinc
e the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain ob-
jects in all situations. WARNING
Quick turns of the steering wheel when park-
ing or e x

iting a parking space with Park As-
sist can cause serious injury.
● Do not hold the steering wheel during ma-
noeuvre
s to park or exit a parking space until
the system requests it. Doing so disables the
system during the manoeuvre, resulting in
the parking being cancelled. » 249

Driver assistance systems
● The p ark
in
g manoeuvre does not end with-
in approximately 6 minutes following activa-
tion of the automatic steering.
● There is a fault in the system (the system is
temporari
ly unavailable).
● ASR is switched off.
● ASR or ESC intervene with regulation.
● The driver door is opened.
To re
start the manoeuvre it is necessary that
none of these things occur and that the 
button is pressed again.
Special Characteristics
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system. For exam-
ple, it is therefore not possible to enter or exit
a parking space on sharp bends. While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief sign

al sounds to prompt the driver to
change between forward and reverse gears
(depending on the case). In successive ma-
noeuvres, the assistant tells the driver to
change gears, at the latest, when the contin-
uous audible signal is given (object present
at a distance of ≤30 cm) by Park Pilot.
When the Park Assist system turns the steer-
ing wheel with the vehicle stationary, the in-
strument panel also displays the symbol .
Keep the brake pedal depressed while the
symbol remains on the dash panel display to
turn the wheels with the vehicle stopped.
This way, the system will require fewer ma-
noeuvres to complete the parking action. Trailer mode
The Park As
sist system cannot be switched
on if the factory-fitted towing bracket
››› page 273 is electrically connected to a
trailer.
After changing a wheel
If, after changing a wheel, the vehicle stops
entering and exiting parking spaces correctly,
the circumference of the new wheel may be
different and the system may need to adapt
to it. The adaptation is automatic and takes
place during driving. Making turns slowly and
in both directions (20 km/h [12 mph]) for a
few minutes may contribute to this adapta-
tion process ››› in Introduction on

Autom atic

braking intervention to avoid ex-
ceeding the speed limit
To avoid exceeding the speed limit of approx-
imately 7 km/h (4 mph) when entering or
leaving a parking space, the brakes may acti-
vate automatically. After automatically acti-
vating the brakes, the manoeuvres to enter or
exit a parking space may continue.
The brakes are only automatically activated
once for each attempt to enter or exit a park-
ing space. If the speed of approximately
7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again, the corre-
sponding operation is halted.
Automatic braking to reduce damages
Depending on certain conditions, the Park
Assist system can automatically brake the ve-
hicle when faced with an obstacle, briefly ac-
tioning and holding down the brake ped-
al ››› . Following this the driver must press
the br ak

the driver by visually and audibly warning
them about obstacles detected in front of
and behind the vehicle.
There are ultrasound sensors integrated in
the front and rear bumpers. When they detect
an obstacle, you are alerted by audible warn-
ings and visually on the Easy Connect sys-
tem.
In the event of danger of a frontal collision,
the audible warnings come from the front of
the vehicle, and in the event of the danger of
a rear-end collision they come from the rear.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues and the
like, as this could affect the system's opera-
tion. Cleaning instructions ››› page 287.
The approximate measurement range of the
sensors is:
1.20 m
1.60 m
0.90 m
As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
val between the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: do not continue to
move forward (or backward)!

y different factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
● Under certain circumstances, the system
does not
detect or display certain objects:
– Objects such as chains, trailer draw bars,
fences, posts and thin trees.
– Objects that are located above the sen-
sors, such as protrusions in a wall.
– Objects with certain surfaces or struc-
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
● Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not refl

nals. The system cannot detect these objects
or people wearing such clothes correctly.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by e
xternal sound sources. In certain circum- stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing peop
l

e or objects.
● Please note that low obstacles detected by
the syst
em may no longer be registered by
the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning. In
certain circumstances, objects such as high
kerbs that could damage the bottom of the
vehicle are not detected either.
● If the first warning from the ParkPilot is ig-
nored, the v
ehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
● The knocks or damage on the radiator
grill
e, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle under-
body can adjust the orientation of the sen-
sors. This can affect the parking aid function.
In this case, have the function checked by a
specialised workshop. Note
● In cer t
