Depending on the optional equipment fitted, there are
various parking aid systems to assist you when parking or
manoeuvring in tight spaces.parking system*:
The parking system comprises the rear acoustic parking aid
⇒page 128.
The rear acoustic parking system uses ultrasonic sensors to
measure the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle which
has been detected. There are four sensors which are located in the
rear bumper (two in the centre, two at the sides).
parking system plus*:
The parking system plus* comprises the rear and front acoustic
parking aid ⇒page 129 in conjunction with a graphic display.
The parking system plus* uses ultrasonic sensors to measure the
distance between the vehicle and an obstacle which has been
detected. There are a total of 8 sensors located in the front and rear
bumpers (2 in the centre and 2 on the side of each bumper).
parking system advanced*:
The parking system advanced* comprises the rear and front
acoustic parking aid in conjunction with the graphic display as well
as a reversing camera (Rear View) ⇒page 131.
The reversing camera is located in the boot lid ⇒page 131, fig. 143
and assists the driver when parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces.
The reversing camera provides an image which is shown in the MMI display. It represents the mirror image of a section of the area
behind the vehicle ⇒page 135, fig. 148.
Note
There is a slight delay in the picture display.parking systemApplies to vehicles: with parking systemRear parking aid
The parking aid gives an acoustic warning if it detects any
obstacles behind the vehicle.– Engage reverse gear. You will hear a short beep to
confirm that the rear parking aid has been activated. The
rear parking aid remains active for as long as the reverse
gear is engaged.The measuring range of the sensors in the rear bumper starts at
approximately:

To ensure that the acoustic parking aid works properly, the
sensors and the lens of the reversing camera must be kept clean
and free of snow and ice. Please observe the additional notes from
⇒page 143 onwards.
•
Please refer to the notes on towing ⇒page 138.
Applies to vehicles: with parking system advancedReversing camera (Rear View)
The reversing camera image in the MMI display shows the
area behind the vehicle.
Parking mode
There are two different parking modes available when you park your
vehicle with the help of the reversing camera. These are referred to
as “Parking mode 1” ⇒page 136 and “Pa r k i n g m od e 2” ⇒page 137.
“Parking mode 1” ⇒fig. 145 can, for example, be used when
parking your vehicle in a carport or a garage ⇒page 136.
“Parking mode 2” ⇒fig. 146 can be used, for example, when
parking your vehicle at the roadside ⇒page 137.
When you activate the reversing camera ⇒page 131 the MMI
display will automatically show “Parking mode 1”. You can switch to
“Parking mode 2” by pressing the control button Mode
⇒page 136, fig. 150. Press the control button Mode repeatedly to
switch between “Parking mode 1” and “Parking mode 2”.
Orientation lines and area markings
Orientation lines and area markings (⇒page 136, fig. 149 and
⇒page 137, fig. 151) are also projected onto the reversing camera
images. They differ, depending on the parking mode you have
selected. These orientation markings are intended to assist the
driver when parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces. They are
projected onto the image at road surface level (not on a gradient).
At the latest when the orientation lines and blue area markings
overlap with vehicles or other objects the distance to the vehi-
cles/objects is no longer sufficient ⇒page 142.
The orientation lines and blue area markings will not be displayed if
the boot lid is open or the factory-fitted power socket for the trailer
is in use ⇒page 138. This may not apply if the power socket was
NOT factory-fitted.
You can adjust the settings in the MMI to select which system you
want to be displayed on the MMI screen ⇒page 140:•

Off (no display).
The reversing camera can be switched on and off in the MMI
⇒page 140. The acoustic proximity warning will, however, remain
activated.
WARNING
•
The reversing camera has blind spots in which obstacles are
not registered. It is particularly important to ensure that there are
no small children or animals near the vehicle, as the reversing
camera may not always be able to detect them (accident risk).
•
The parking aid cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking
and other manoeuvres. Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle.
•
Please note that low obstacles detected by the system may no
longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning. Certain kinds of obsta-
cles (such as wire fences, chains, thin painted posts or trailer draw
bars, etc.) may not always be detected by the system (accident
risk).Note
•
There is a slight delay in the picture display.
•
To ensure that the reversing camera works properly, the lens of
the camera ⇒page 131, fig. 143 must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice. Please observe the additional notes on ⇒page 143.
•
If the boot lid is open the angle covered by the camera will
change. For this reason, the image of the reversing camera will then
be shown without orientation lines and blue area markings.
•
Please refer to the notes on towing ⇒page 138.
Applies to vehicles: with parking system advancedDetection range of the reversing cameraThe section of the "Rear View" image shown in the MMI display is
roughly the same as the area covered by the camera as shown in

Do not allow the camera images in the MMI display to distract
you from watching the traffic.
•
When parking or manoeuvring do not rely solely on the MMI
display. Some objects (e.g. narrow posts or bars) may - due to the
resolution of the display screen - not be displayed in a satisfactory
manner or may not be displayed at all.
•
Only use the reversing camera to assist you if it is supplying
you with a good and clear picture. The quality of the picture could
be impaired by adverse light, dirt on the lens or a defect (accident
risk).
•
If the MMI display is switched on and the picture is obscured or
the area behind the vehicle is not visible (e.g. due to a dirty or
defective lens) you must not use the reversing camera to assist
you when manoeuvring (accident risk).
•
The reversing camera produces two-dimensional images.
Please remember that ridges in the ground, parts protruding on
other vehicles or fixed objects jutting out are all more difficult to
detect on the MMI display screen due to a lack of spatial depth. In
some cases it may not be possible to detect them at all.
•
For safety reasons, you should not use the system if the posi-
tion and installation angle of the camera have been changed, e.g.
in a rear-end collision. Have it checked by a qualified workshop.
•
Only use the reversing camera when the boot lid is completely
c lo s e d . P l e a se m a k e su re t h a t t here are no objects mounted to the
rear end of the vehicle which could block the view of the reversing
camera.Caution
•
Never remove snow and ice from the lens of the reversing
camera using warm or hot water - danger of cracks appearing on the
lens.
•
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the lens.WARNING (continued)

WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel can cause loss of
vehicle control and critical situations on the road.•
Never place objects in the driver's footwell. Such objects could
move under the pedals and interfere with their proper function. In
the event of sudden braking or a change of direction, you would
not be able to use the pedals. This could result in a loss of control
and possibly cause an accident.
Floor mats on the driver's side
Use only floor mats which can be securely fastened in the
footwell and do not obstruct the pedals.– Make sure that floor mats are securely fastened and
cannot interfere with the pedals ⇒.Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area unobstructed and are
firmly secured to prevent them from slipping. You can obtain suit-
able floor mats from your dealer or a specialist retailer.
WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel can cause loss of
vehicle control and increase the risk of serious personal injury. •
Always make sure that floor mats are properly secured.
•
Never lay or install additional floor mats or other floor cover-
ings over the existing floor mats; this would restrict the pedal area
and possibly obstruct the pedals, which could cause an
accident.
Stowing luggage safelyLuggage compartment
All luggage and other objects must be safely secured in
the luggage compartment.Loose items in the luggage compartment can shift suddenly
and cause a safety hazard or impair the handling of the
vehicle by changing the weight distribution.
– Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment
⇒page 75.
– Place heavy items as far forward as possible in the
luggage compartment and secure them properly.
– Use the fastening rings* provided ⇒page 159 or the
luggage net* for securing heavy items.
WARNING
•
Loose items in the luggage compartment can shift suddenly
and cause a safety hazard or impair the handling of the vehicle by
changing the weight distribution.
•
Always stow objects in the luggage compartment and secure
them on the fastening rings*.
•
Transporting heavy objects may affect the vehicle's handling by
shifting the centre of gravity – this could cause an accident. Take
extra care when driving and adjust your speed accordingly.
•
Never exceed the maximum axle loads or the maximum gross
weight for the vehicle ⇒page 281, “Performance, weights and
dimensions”. Exceeding the permitted axle loads or gross weight
limit can affect the vehicle's handling characteristics, and increase
the risk of accidents, personal injuries or damage to the vehicle.
•
Never leave your vehicle unattended when the boot lid is open.
Children could climb into the boot and close the boot lid from the
