reason, you should avoid using Parking Guid-
anc eins uch situations. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that no persons or animals are in
the manoeuvring range. Otherwise, they
could be injured.
Whe nPARKTRONIC is deactivated, Parking
Guidance is als ounavailable.
Use Parking Guidance for parking spaces:
R that are paralle ltothe direction of travel
R that ar eonstraight roads, not bends
R that are on the same leve lasthe road, i.e.
not on the pav ement
Parking tips:
R On narrow roads, driv easclose to the park-
ing space as possible.
R Parking spaces which are littered, over-
grown or partially occupied by trailer draw-
bars might be identified incorrectly or not
at all.
R Snowfa ll or heav yrain may lea dtoaparking
space being measured inaccurately.
R Pay attention to the PARKTRONIC warning
messages during the parking procedure
(Y pag e175).
R When transporting aload which protru des
from you rvehicle, you must not use Parking
Guidance.
R Never use Parkin gGuidance with snow
chains or an emergenc yspare wheel fit ted.
R The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parkin gspace after parkin gisdependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of the
location. In some cases, Parking Guidance
may guide you too far or not far enough into
ap arking space. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the kerb. If neces-
sary, cancel the parking procedure with
Parking Guidance. !
If unavoidable, you should drive over
obstacles such as kerbs slowly and not at
as har pangle .Otherwise, you may damage
the wheels or tyres.
Detecting parking spaces Example: vehicles with automatic transmission
:
Detected parking space on the left
; Parking symbol
= Detected parking space on the right
Parking Guidance is automaticall yactivated
whe nyou drive forwards. The system is
operational at speeds of up to approximately
35 km/h. While in operation ,the system inde-
pendently locates and measures parking
spaces on both sides of the vehicle. When
drivin gatspeeds below 30 km/ h,you will see
parking symbol ;asastatus indicato rinthe
instrumen tcluster.
When aparking space has been detected, an
arrow towards the right =or the left :also
appears. Parking Guidance only displ ays
parking spaces on the front-passenger side
as standard. Parking spaces on the driver's
side are displayed as soon as the tur nsignal
on the driver's side is activated. To park on
the driver's side, you must leave the driver's
side turn signal switched on until you have
engaged reverse gear.
Parking Guidance will only detect parking
spaces:
R that are parallel to the direction of travel
R that are at least 1.5 mwide
R that are at least 1.3 mlonger than your
vehicle
Ap arking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approx .15m
away from it. 178

Important safety instructions G
Ris
kofa ccident
When reversing the vehicle towards the
trailer, mak esure there is nobody between
the trailer and the vehicle.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If
you do not couple the trailer to the towing
vehicle correctly, the trailer could become
detached.
Make sure that the following values are not
exceeded: R
the permissible trailer drawbar noseweight
R the permissible trailer load
R the permissible rear axle load of the towing
vehicle
R the maximu mpermissible gross vehicle
weight of both the towing vehicle and the
trailer
You will fin dthe applicable permissible val-
ues, whic hmust not be exceeded ,inthe vehi-
cle documen ts.
You will find the values approved by the man-
ufacturer on the vehicle identification plates
and those for the towing vehicle in the "Tech-
nical data" section. G
Risk of accident
If the Checktrailer hitch locking
mechanism message appears in th emulti-
function display while the vehicle is in motion,
pull over immediately and check whethe rthe
ball coupling is correctly engaged. G
Risk of accident
Always observ ethe maximum speed permit-
ted in Germany for vehicle/ trailer combina-
tions, even in countries where higher speeds
are permitted. This lowers the risk of an acci-
dent. G
Risk of accident
Never depress the brake pedal continuously
while the vehicle is in motion ,e.g. never cause
the brakes to rub by appl yingc onstant slight
pedal pressure. This causes the brake system
to overheat, increases the brakin gdistance
and can lead to the brakes failing completely. G
Risk of accident
On no account should you attempt to draw the
vehicle/trailer combination out by increasing
speed. Trailer towing
