the switch @ at the same time to release the
parking brake . The indicator lights in the switch
and . (USA models)/ . (Canada models) in
the instrument cluster go out .
Your vehicle is equipped with an electromechani­
cal park ing brake. The parking brake is designed
to prevent the vehicle from rolling un intent ional­
ly and replaces the ha nd b rake .
In add ition to the normal functions of a trad i­
t ional ha nd brake, the electromechanical parking
brake prov ides va rious conven ience and safety
funct ions.
When starting from rest
- The integral starting assist helps you when
driving by automatically releas ing the parking
brake ~

- When start ing on inclines, the starting assist
prevents the veh icle from unintentionally roll­
ing back . T he brak ing force of the park ing brake
is not re leased unt il sufficient dr iving force has
been bu ilt up at the whee ls.

A WARNING
If a gear or a drive range (automatic transmis­
s ion) is engaged wi th the vehicle stationa ry

stance acce lera te or release the clutch* care ­
l essly. Otherwise the vehicle wi ll sta rt to

Driving
- Occasional noises when the parking brake is
applied and released are normal and are not
a cause for concern.
- When the vehicle is parked, the parking
brake goes through a self-test cycle at regu­
lar intervals. Any associated noises are nor­
mal.
Parking
.,. Press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle .
.,. Pull the switch @¢
page 77, fig. 80 to set the
parking brake .
.,. Automatic transmission: Move the selector lev-
er to P.
.. Turn the engine off¢.&, .
.. Manual transmission: Shift into 1st gear.
.. When on inclines or declines, turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle will roll into the curb
if it begins to move.
A WARNING
-
-When you leave your vehicle -even if only
briefly -always remove the ignition key. This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Otherwise the children could
start the engine, release the parking brake
or operate electrical equipment (e.g. power
windows). There is the risk of an accident.
- When the vehicle is locked, no one -particu­
larly not children should remain in the vehi­
cle. Locked doors make it more difficult for
emergency workers to get into the vehicle -
putting lives at risk.
Starting from rest
The starting assist function ensures that the
parking broke is released automatically upon
starting .
Stopping and applying parking brake
.. Pull the switch @¢ page 77, fig. 80 to apply
the parking brake.
78
Starting and automatically releasing the parking brake
.. When you start to drive as usual, the parking
brake is automatically released and your vehicle
begins to move.
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping in city traffic on vehicles with an automatic trans­
mission, the parking brake can be applied. The
vehicle does not have to be held with the foot­ brake. The parking brake eliminates the tendency
to creep with a drive range engaged . As soon as
you drive off as usual, the parking brake is re­ leased automatically and the vehicle starts to
move .
Starting on slopes
When starting on inclines, the starting assist pre ­
vents the vehicle from unintentionally rolling back. The braking force of the parking brake is
not released until sufficient driving force has
been built up at the wheels.
(D Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re­
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Starting off with a trailer
To prevent rolling back unintentionally on an in­
cline, do the following:
.. Keep the switch @¢ page 77, fig. 80 pulled
and depress the accelerator. The parking brake
stays applied and prevents the vehicle from
rolling backward.
.,. You can release the switch @once you are sure
that you are developing enough driving force at
the wheels by depressing the accelerator.
Depending on the weight of the rig (vehicle and
trailer) and the severity of the incline, you may
roll backwards as you start. You can prevent roll­
ing backwards by holding the parking brake
switch @pulled out and accelerating -just as
you would when starting on a hill with a conven­
tional hand brake .

Automatic transmission
¢ page 191. Otherwise, any increase in en­
gine speed may set the vehicle in motion,
even with the parking brake applied.
(D Note
-When stopping on an incline, do not try to
hold the vehicle in place by pressing the ac­
celerator pedal while a driving gear is se­ lected . This can cause the transmission to
overheat and can damage it. Activate the
parking brake or press the brake pedal to
prevent the vehicle from rolling .
- Allowing the vehicle to roll when the eng ine
i s stopped and the selector lever is in N w ill
damage the transmission because it is not
l ub ricated under those circumstances .
@ Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re­
leased automatically only when the dr iver's
safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Hill descent control
Applies to veh icles: w ith S tronic/tiptron ic
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down declines.
Hill descent contro l is activated when the selec­
tor lever is in D/S and you press the brake pedal.
The transm ission automatically selects a gear
that is suitable for the incline. Hill descent con­
trol tries to mainta in the speed achieved at the
time of braking, within physical and technical
limitations.
It may still be necessary to adjust the
speed with the brakes .
Hill descent control switches off once the decline
levels out or you press the accelerator peda l.
On veh icles w ith the cruise contro l system*
¢ page 80, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.
& WARNING
Hill descent control cannot overcome physica l
limitations, so it may not be able to maintain
a constant speed under all condit ions . Always
be ready to apply the brakes.

When the distance is less tha n 1ft (0.30 m), the
tone becomes cont inuous. At t h is point you
shou ld sto p bac king up.
Please note that low objects already s ignalled by
a war ning can d isappear from the system's detec­

If the distance to an obstacle remains the same,
the volume of the distance warn ing is gradually
reduced afte r abo ut 4 seconds (t his does not ap­
ply in the conti nous to ne range). App roaching an­
othe r obstacle will result in th e distance war ning
sounding at the normal volume aga in.
Malfunctions in the system
If a warning to ne is aud ib le for about five sec­
o n ds when you turn on the ignition, there is a
malfu nction in t he sys tem. Have the prob lem

Keep the sensors in t he rear bumper clean and
free from ice so t hat the acoustic park ass ist sys-

Parking System
_& WARNING
-Sensors have dead spaces in which ob jects
cannot be detected. Be especially alert for
small chi ldren and animals, since they are
not always detected by the sensors.
- The acoustic parking system is not a substi­
tute for the driver's own caution and alert­
ness. Ultimate responsibility always remains
with the driver during parking and simi lar
maneuvers . Always watch where you are
dr iv ing .
- Yo u should always adjust the volume and
frequency of the warning tones so that you
can eas ily hea r the acoustic distance warn­
ing
even if the radio is p lay ing, the air-cond i­
t ioner blower is on High or there is a high
level of outs ide noise .
- Chec k the settings whenever anyone e lse
has driven t he veh icle before you.
(D Note
- Remember that low obstacles for which a
warning has already been issued may "dive"
below the system 's sens ing zone if the vehi­
cle is being backed up closer. In this case,
the warn ing sound shutting off does
not in ­
dicate that you have cleared the obstacle .
Ins tead, impact is imm inent.
- Objects such as tra ile r hitches , cha ins, nar ­
r ow posts or fences
cove red by a th in layer
of pa int may no t always be dete cte d by the
system. T hey can still damage your vehicle
wi tho ut warn ing.
@ Tips
Keep the senso rs in the rea r bumpe r clean
an d free of snow a nd ice so that the ac ous tic
parking assi st system can f unction properly .

Vehicles with the park ing system are equipped
with a
rear view camera in addition to the a cous­
tic parking system.
You can choose between two modes to assist you
with parking. For example, you can use "parking mode
l" when parking in a parking spa ce or ga­
rage
c;, fig. 110 . When you want to park paralle l

Sensors in the bumper
Sensors are located in the rear bumpers . If these
detect an obstacle, audible s ignals war n you. The

ass ist system. As the distance dec reases, the
time interva l between the audible tones becomes
shorter.
When the distan ce is less than 1 ft (0.30 m), the
tone becomes cont inuous . At th is point you
shou ld stop backing up .
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same, the
vo lume of the dis tance signal ch ime is gr adually
reduced after abo ut
4 seconds (does not affect
the continuous signal tone). Approaching anoth­ er obstacle w ill ca use the distance s ignal to
sound again at the normal volume.
Rear view camera co verag e ar ea
The M MI display shows the a rea cove red by the
rea r view camera ¢
fig. 112 @. Objects that are
not in the area covered @are not shown on the
MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with
the rear view camera in a traffic-free location o r
parking lot to become fami lia r with the system,
the or ientat ion lines, and their function . When
doing t his, there shou ld be good light and weath­
er conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- you a re dr iv ing in reve rse gear from a leve l su r­
face onto an incline, or a downward slope,
- you are dr iving in reve rse gear toward p ro tr ud­
ing objects,
- t he vehicle is car rying too m uch load in the
rear.
T he accuracy of the orientat ion lines and bl ue
s ur faces dim inishes if:
- the rear v iew camera does not provide a reliab le
image, fo r example, in poor visib il ity condi tions
or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to
sun glare and reflect ion .
Caring for the rear v iew camera len s
The rear view camera is located above the rear li­
cense p late bracket. For the parking assist to op-
erate, the lens ¢
fig. 113 must be kept clean: liJJ>
