The system may be switched on but not ready to
warn due to the following reasons:
- There are no Lane markings.
- The system cannot detect the relevant lane
markings (e.g. temporary markings for road
works or markings obscured by snow, dirt, rain
or adverse light).
- The vehicle's speed is below 65 km/h, the
speed at which the lane assist system is activa­
ted (the threshold may vary in different export
markets).
- The traffic lane is too narrow or too wide.
- The bend is too tight.
- You have taken your hands off the steering

wheel.

- Make sure that the camera window

Driver assist systems
Rear cross-traffic assist
Applies to: vehicles with rear cross-traffic assist

Fig.
121 Example diagram

Fig.
122 Infotainment: Rear cross-traffic assist display
While you are reversing, the rear cross-traffic as­
sist can warn against a potential collision with
traffic approaching perpendicular to the rear of
the vehicle. The system uses the radar sensors

^page
128, Fig. 120 to monitor the area behind
and to the side of the vehicle when you are leav­
ing a parking space. Where possible, it detects
objects, such as cars, as they approach the
vehi­

cle
of/g.
121.
If critical cross-traffic is detected when reversing
out of a parking space, the system reacts as
fol­

lows:

- Graphic display: A graphic with a red arrow
symbol appears on the infotainment display.
The arrow indicates the direction from which
the object is approaching
^>Fig.
122.
- Warning tone: A tone may sound continuously
as an additional signal when you are reversing.
-Automatic
brake
jolt: A short sharp application
of the brakes may also warn against a potential
collision with an approaching object.
Requirements for the use of the rear cross-
traffic assist:
-The parking aid must be switched on

^>page
134.
- Reverse gear must be engaged.
- The speed must not be higher than approxi­
mately 12 km/h.

A
WARNING
- The purpose of the rear cross-traffic assist is
to assist the driver; it cannot prevent a
colli­

sion on its own. The driver must always in­
tervene personally. As the driver you are al­
ways responsible for braking in good time.
- Please note that the rear cross-traffic assist
may apply the brakes unexpectedly. Always
secure your luggage to prevent damage and
possible injury.
-After an automatic brake jolt, no further
brake jolt will occur within 10 seconds.
- If the rear cross-traffic assist gives an
acoustic warning signal, the parking aid may
no Longer be able to warn you against obsta­
cles it has detected.
- The radar sensor vision can be impaired, e.g.
by leaves, snow, heavy road spray or dirt.
Clean the area in front of the sensors

*>page
128, Fig. 120.

A
WARNING
The rear cross-traffic assist has certain inher­
ent limitations and cannot warn against an
impending collision in every situation:
- It cannot give a warning if the vehicle is so
far into a parking space that it is hidden by
the vehicles in front and behind.
- People such as cyclists, joggers, inline skat­
ers and pedestrians may not be detected in
certain situations.
- It cannot give a warning when you are
parked at an angle or parallel to the
road­

side.

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

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

Intelligent technology
Remember that the accident risk always in­
creases
if
you
drive fast, especially
in
cor­
ners
or
on a wet
or
slippery
road,
or if
you
follow too close behind the vehicle in front
of
you.
Please bear
in
mind that even
the

ESC
and
the
integrated systems cannot
compensate
for
the increased accident risk.
When accelerating
on
a uniformly slippery
surface
(for
instance
all
four wheels on
ice

or snow), press the accelerator gradually
and carefully. The driven wheels may other­
wise start
to
spin
(in
spite
of
the integrated

car's stability and could lead
to
an accident.
© Note
The ABS and ASR systems can only work
properly
if

WARNING

- When applying
the
brakes
to
clean
off
de­
posits
on the
pads and discs, select
a
clear,
dry
road.
Be sure
not to
inconvenience
or
en­
danger other road users;
do not
risk an
acci­

dent.
- Never
let the car
coast with
the
engine
switched
off
(this can cause accidents).

(T)
CAUTION

- Never
let the
brakes "drag"
by
leaving your
foot on
the
pedal when you
do not
really
in­

tend
to
brake. This overheats
the
brakes,
re­

sulting
in
longer stopping distances
and

greater wear.
- Before driving down
a
long,
steep gradient,
it
is
advisable
to
reduce speed
and
select
a

lower gear.
In
this way you will make use
of

the engine braking effect and relieve
the

load
on the
brakes.
If
you
still have
to use

the brakes,
it is
better
to
brake firmly
at in­

tervals than
to
apply
the
brakes continuous-

Ly

-
If
the brake servo
is out of
action,
you must
apply considerably more pressure
to the

brake pedal than you normally would.
-
If
you
wish
to
equip
the
car with accessories
such as a front spoiler
or
wheel covers,
it is

important that
the
flow
of air to the
front
wheels
is not
obstructed, otherwise
the

brakes can overheat.
