- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
quickly, or if
you
are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up
intime.

- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy

rain,
snow or road spray.
- If
you
are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system
may not detect vehicles in the adjacent
lane because they are outside the area
covered by the sensors.
© CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional­
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by
a
qualified workshop.
The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors
may not be properly visible if tinted foil is af­
fixed to the side windows on the driver's or
passenger's side.

Parking aids
Parking aids
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/reversing camera/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend­
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicLe.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car

cépage
135.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta­
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicLe

^page
135.
The reversing camera uses the infotainment sys­
tem display to show a picture of the area behind
the vehicle captured by the camera. This picture
helps you to park the vehicle parallel or perpen­
dicular to the roadside. In addition, you are assis­
ted by the functions of the parking system plus

^>page
137.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicLe into spaces par­
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb
^>page
139. It
also includes the functions of the parking system
plus
^page
135 and additionally monitors the
area at the side of the vehicle
(f) ^page
135,
Fig. 124.

A
WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicLe. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu­

vres.

- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis­
played by the system - risk of accident!
- The sensors and cameras have bLind spots in
which neither people nor objects are regis­

tered.
It is particularly important to ensure
that there are no small children or animals
near the vehicLe - risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicLe and make full use of the
rear-view mirrors.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.

(T)
CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc­

tures,
such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note
that
you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Remember to maintain sufficient clearance
from the kerb to avoid damaging the wheel

rims.

(T)
Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv­
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
-To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend
that
you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can change the display and adjust the
volume and pitch of the beeps
^>page
143.
- Please refer to the notes on the use of a
towing bracket
^page
144.
- There is a slight delay in the picture dis­
played on the infotainment display. •

Care of vehicle and cleaning

A.
WARNING
- Follow the rules and recommendations of
the car wash operator and do not wash the
vehicLe with the ignition switched on - risk
of accident!
- To avoid cutting yourself on sharp metal

parts,
always wear suitable protection when
cleaning the underside of the car or inside
the wheel arches.
- After the car has been washed, the full brak­
ing effect can be delayed by moisture (or in
winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads -
risk of accident! The brakes should be dried
by pressing the pedal to restore full braking
effect.
© CAUTION
- Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please make sure to retract the
exterior mirrors to prevent damage. Always
use the electrical power controL to fold the
mirrors in/out on vehicles with electrically
retractable exterior mirrors*.
- Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight -
otherwise the paint can be damaged.
- Do not use insect sponges or abrasive
household sponges, etc. - they can damage
the surfaces.
- Matt-painted vehicle parts:
- Do not use polish or wax - otherwise the
paintwork can be damaged.
- Never use car-wash programmes that in­
clude wax coatings. This could spoil the
matt finish.
- Do not attach any stickers or magnet la­
bels to matt-painted parts as these could
damage the paintwork when they are re­

moved.

® For the sake of the environment
The car should only be washed in special wash

bays.
This prevents oily water from getting in­
to the public drains.
