off. In this case switch on ignition and
turn steering wheel once from lock to
lock.
If control indicators c and b do not
extinguish after calibration, seek the
assistance of a workshop.Driver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of approx. 20 to
120 mph. Deviations from the stored
speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill.
For safety reasons the cruise controlcannot be activated until the foot
brake has been operated once.
Activating in first gear is not possible.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
Vehicles with manual transmission
automated:
Only activate cruise control in
automatic mode.
Control indicator m 3 90.

Driving and operating147
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback in the Driver Information
Centre and an acoustic signal is
given.
Select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot by tapping the icon 6 or
7 on the Colour-Info-Display.
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Colour-Info-Display
and an acoustic signal is given.
If the driver does not stop the vehicle
within 10 metres for parallel parking
slots or 6 metres for perpendicular
parking slots after a parking slot is
proposed, the system starts to search
for another suitable parking slot.
Park guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres for parallel parking slots or
6 metres for perpendicular parkingslots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parking
Page 150 of 233
148Driving and operating
slots on the driver side, switch on turn
signal indicator to the driver side for
the durance of the search.
As soon as the turn signal indicator is switched off, the system searches for
parking slots on the passenger side again.Display indication
The instructions in the display show:
■ general hints and warning messages,
■ a hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in
guiding mode,
■ the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected,
■ the direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre,
■ the demand to gearshift rearwards or forwards,
■ the demand to accelerate or brake,
■ for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the DriverInformation Centre,■ the successful parking indicated by
a pop-up symbol and a chime,
■ the cancelling of a parking manoeuvre.
Display priorities
Advanced parking assist indication on
the Driver Information Centre can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing the SET/CLR
button on the turn signal lever,
advanced parking assist instructions
appear again and the parking
manoeuvre can be continued.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by:
■ a long press of button D,
■ parking manoeuvre successfully ended,
■ driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot search,
■ driving faster than 5 mph during parking guidance,
■ driver interference on steering wheel detected,■ exceeding number of maximum gear changes: 8 parking cycles
when parallel parking or 5 cycles
when perpendicular parking,
■ switching off the ignition.
Deactivation by the driver or by the
system during manoeuvring will be
indicated by Parking Deactivated on
the display. Additionally an acoustic
signal sounds.
Fault
A message appears when:
■ there is a fault in the system; control
indicator r illuminates in the
instrument cluster,
■ the driver did not successfully complete the parking manoeuvre,
■ the system is not operational,
■ any of the deactivation reasons described above apply.
If an object is detected during parking
instructions, Stop is indicated on the
display. Removing the object will
resume the parking manoeuvre. If the
object is not removed, the system will
