The downhill driving assistant in veh icles with an
~utomatic gearbox helps when braking and travel­
ling downhill ~ £. The downhill driving assistant
uses the braking power of the engine .
The automatic gearbox selects the best gear for
t~e circums tances by taking the steepness of the

• The driver operates the steering wheel.
• The parking procedure was not completed with­
in approximately 6 minutes of activating the auto­
matic stee ring intervention .
• There is a system fault (system is temporarily
un ava ilable) .
•
The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate .
r::l The Park Assist system has system-related
l!J limitations . For example, the Park Assist sys­
t e m cannot help you to park the
vehicle on tight
b e nd s.
r::l Wh en parking parallel to the road , a warning
L!J signal can be heard to tell the driver to switch
between driving forwards and reversing because
the change
of direct ion should not take place in the
permanent tone area
of the ParkPilot.
r::l The progress bar in the instrument cluster
l!J display will symbolically indicate the relative
distance remaining .
W If the Park Assist system turns the steering
l!J wheel when the vehicle is stationary , the 6l
symbol appears as well. Depress the brake pedal
so that the steering movement takes place with the
vehicle stationary, keeping the required number of
parking movements to a minimum.
r::l If the parking result worsens after a wheel is
~ changed, the system will first have to syn­
chronise
itself with the new wheel. The synchroni­
sation procedure is carried out
automatically while
the vehicle is in motion. You can support this proc­
ess by driving slowly (less than 20 km/h (12 mph))
through a bend, e.g. in an empty car park. <l
