Important safety notes G
WARNING
Active Parking Assist is merely an aid and may
sometimes recommendp arking spaces that
are not suitable for parking. For example,
these might be spaces where parking is pro-
hibited, driveways, unsuitable surfaces, etc.
Active Parking Assist measures the parking
space as you drive past it. Any later changes
to the parking space are not taken into
account. For instance, this may be the case
when the vehicle parked in front of or behind
the space changes its position or when an
obstacle is moved into the parking space.
Active Parking Assist does not relieve you of
the responsibility of paying attention. If you
rely solely on Active Parking Assist, you could cause an accident and injure yourself and oth-
ers.
You are always responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to your imme-
diate surroundings when parking and
manoeuvring.
G
WARNING
Objectsl ocated above the height range of
Active Parking Assist will not be detected
when the parking space is measured. These
are not taken into account when the parking
procedure is calculated, e. g. overhanging
loads, tail sections or loading ramps of goods
vehicles. In some circumstances, Active Park-
ing Assist may therefore guide you into the
parking space too early. This may lead to a
collision. For this reason, you should avoid
using Active Parking Assist in such situations. Driving systems

these values are legally required and must
always be correct. Engine oil
General notes Dependin
gonyour driving style, the vehicle
consumes up to 0.8 lofoil per 1,000 km. The
oil consumption may be higher than this when

high engine speeds.
Dependin gonthe engine, the oil dipstick may
be installed at adifferent location.
When checking the oil level:
R park the vehicle on alevel surface.
