Park Assist (following referred to system) helps drivers park in suitable parallel
and perpendicular parking places or also to manoeuvre out of parallel parking
spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements when parking or leaving a
parking space. The driver operates the pedals and the shift lever or gear selec-
tor.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The Park Assist is an extension of the parking aid » page 147 and operates on
the basis of data collected by the ultrasonic sensors.
For this reason, the chapter on the parking aid is to be read carefully and the safety notes are to be observed. 

The Adaptive Cruise Control (hereinafter referred to as ACC) maintains the set
speed or the distance to the vehicle ahead without the accelerator or brake
pedal being pressed.
The front of the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle ahead is monitored by
a radar sensor » page 143.
The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described
as control from here on.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 142, in section Introduction .■
The driver must always be ready to take over steering of the vehicle him-
self (accelerate or brake). 
163Assist systems

WARNING (Continued)■The ACC does not react when approaching a stationary obstacle, such as
traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns or vehicles waiting at a traffic light.■
The ACC does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
■
If the ACC does not decelerate fast enough, immediately apply the vehi-
cle's foot brake.
WARNINGFor safety reasons, do not use the ACC under the following conditions.■When driving in turning lanes, motorway exits or construction sites, to
avoid an unwanted acceleration to the stored speed.■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When road conditions are poor (e.g. ice, slippery road, gravel, dirt road).
■
When driving around “sharp” bends.
■
When riding on a steep gradient / high slope.
■
When driving through places where metal objects (such as metal build-
ings, railway tracks, etc.) can be found.
■
When driving through very divided and enclosed spaces (such as large-ca-
pacity garages, car ferries, tunnels and the like.).
Note
■ The ACC is designed primarily for use on motorways.■The ACC reduces the speed by automatically releasing the accelerator or by
means of a braking procedure as appropriate. If the brakes are used for an au-
tomatic speed reduction at any moments, then the brake light illuminates.■
In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the con-
nected trailer, the ACC becomes unavailable.
■
The control automatically cancels the engagement of the brake supportive
assistance systems (e.g. ESC) or when the maximum permitted engine speed is
exceeded.
OperationFig. 202

Read and observe
on page 163 first.
The ACC allows you to set a speed of 30 - 160 or 210 km / h (depending on
equipment) and the distance to the vehicle ahead in the range of a very short
to a very long distance.
The ACC adjusts the set speed with respect to the detected vehicle ahead,
thus maintaining the selected proximity.
The ACC can detect a vehicle that is up to approx. 150 m ahead using the radar
sensor.

Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side
Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side are not detected by the ra-
dar sensor until they are within the sensor's range » Fig. 205 - 
.
If necessary, slow down the car by applying the brake.
Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicles that change onto the lane with a small proximity » Fig. 206 - 
do not
have to be detected by the radar sensor in time. The result may be a delayed
ACC response.
If necessary, slow down the car by applying the brake.
Stationary vehicles
The ACC does not detect stationary objects! When a vehicle detected by the
ACC turns or sheers off and there is a stationary vehicle in front of this vehicle,
» Fig. 206 -
 the ACC does not respond to the stationary vehicle.
In such cases, take over the steering and stop the vehicle by applying the foot
brake.
When overtaking
When your vehicle is being controlled (the speed is lower than that which is
stored) and the indicator is activated, the ACC interprets this situation as
meaning that the driver intends to overtake. The ACC automatically acceler-
ates the vehicle, thereby reducing the proximity to a vehicle ahead.
If the vehicle changes to the fast lane and no vehicle is detected ahead, the
ACC accelerates until the set speed is reached and then keeps it constant.
Acceleration can be cancelled at any time by touch on the brake pedal or
pressing the button  on the lever
» Fig. 204 on page 165 .
Vehicles with special load or special body parts
Other vehicles with a load or with body parts protruding from the sides, back
or top of the vehicle contour may not be detected by the ACC.
Control should therefore be disabled whenever you are driving behind or over-
taking such a vehicle.
Towing a trailer
When towing, or in when another accessory is connected to the trailer socket
the ACC control is set with a lower rate. The manner of driving should there-
fore be adapted to this limitation.Information messages

Function
Read and observe
on page 174 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden change
in direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶ The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶ The windows in the side doors (if open) are automatically closed up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶ The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.
▶ The system deactivation in the Infotainment » Owner´s Manual Infotain-
ment , chapter CAR - vehicle settings .
▶ Deactivation of TCS » page 143, Braking and stabilisation systems .
▶ Selecting the driving mode
Sport
» page 171 .
Provided that the driving mode
Sport
is not selected, the system is activated
over the two levels of protection after switching the ignition off and on again.
The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as in
panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.
Vehicles with the Front Assist system
On vehicles with Front Assist the system has been expanded to include infor-
mation from the radar sensor » page 143. Using this information a system in-
tervention may also occur when there is the danger of a collision with an ob-
stacle detected in front of the vehicle.
A system intervention can only take place on the basis of the information col-
lected by the radar sensor, if the radar sensor is fully functional.
Note
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated » page 19 the belt tensioning
function for the front passenger seat is switched off.

The lane is more than 2.5 m in width.
If the turn signal is switched on prior to driving over the boundary line (e.g.
when making a turn), no steering intervention takes place when the vehicle
approaches the boundary line. The system regards the situation as an inten-
ded lane change.

Adaptive lane assist
Adaptive lane assist helps to keep the vehicle in the position between the
boundary lines selected by the driver, by means of steering intervention.
If the system detects only one boundary line, it will help to maintain the selec-
ted proximity from said boundary line.
If the proximity to the detected boundary line is changed, the system quickly
adapts and maintains the newly-selected position.

The assistant for“blind spot monitoring” (following known as system) draws
attention to vehicles travelling in the same direction in the next lane in the so
called blind spots.
The “blind spot” is an area that is not easily visible in a rear-view mirror or even
directly from the vehicle.
WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 142, in section Introduction .WARNINGThe system has physical and system-related limitations. Therefore, in the
following situations the system can be delayed in drawing attention (or not
at all) to a vehicle in the next land. The responsibility for the lane change
rests with the driver.■
When a vehicle is approaching at a very high speed.
■
When passing through a very sharp curve or a roundabout.
Operation
Fig. 214
Installation of radar sensors
Read and observe on page 177 first.
Using radar sensors and when the speed is above 15 km / h the system moni- tors the area next to and behind the vehicle. At the same time, the distance
and the difference in speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the
monitored area can be measured.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light  in the exterior mirror.
Radar sensors
The radar sensors (following known as sensors) are located under the rear
bumper » Fig. 214 and are not visible from the outside.
When driving the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognize the specific lane width by means of sensors. Therefore, a warning example may be issued in the following cases.
▶ When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge, the system
can respond to a vehicle that is not drive directly in the adjacent lane.
▶ When making a turn, the system can respond to a vehicle in a more remote
lane.
▶ The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barri-
ers, noise barriers or similar objects.
WARNING■ If there is an impact, or the rear of the vehicle is damage the sensor may
be damaged or misaligned. This can lead to impaired function of the sensor
- risk of accidents! Have the vehicle checked by a specialist garage.■
The area in front and around the sensor should not be obscured by any
objects. This could lead to impairment of the system function. ■ Remove snow, ice and such obstacles from the area in front of and
around the sensor.
CAUTION
■ In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “failure to recognise
a vehicle”.■
Accessories fitted to the rear of the vehicle, such as bicycle carriers, can im-
pair the system function.
