rking Pilot Fu
nction of Parking Pilot
Pa rking Pilot is an elect ronic pa rking assis tance
sy stem which uses ultrasound and is automati‐
cally activated during forw ard tra vel. The sy stem
is operational at speeds of up toappr oximately
35 km/h. When all the conditions are fulfilled,
th ec symbol appears in the multifunction
display and the sy stem automatically sear ches
fo r and measu res parking spaces on bo thsides
of theve hicle parallel and perpendicular tothe
direction of tr avel. If Parking Pilot is activated,
suitable parking spaces are displa yed in the mul‐
timedia sy stem. The ësymbol appears in the
multifunction displa y.The ar rowsshow on which
side of the car riag ewa y free parking spaces are
located. The parking space and, if necessar
y,the parking
direction can be selected as desired. Parking
Pilot calculates a suitable vehicle path and
assists you in parking and exiting the parking
space.
Ve hicles with automatic transmission: Park‐
ing Pilot changes gear, accelerates, brakes and
st eers theve hicle.
Ve hicles with manual transmission: Parking
Pilot supports youby inter vening acti vely in the
st eering.
% The active brake application and automatic
gear change is on lyavailable on vehicles
with automatic transmission.
Pa rking Pilot is only an aid. It is not a substitute

Pa rking Pilot sy stem limitations
Objects located abo veor below the de tection
ra nge of Parking Pilot are not de tected when the
parking space is being measured. These are also
not taken into account when the parking
manoeuvre is calculated, e.g. overhanging loads,
ov erhangs or loading ramp s of lor ries or the
boundaries of a parking space. In some circum‐
st ances, Parking Pilot may therefore guide you
into the parking space prematurely. &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located abo veor below the
de tection range of Parking Pilot
If th ere are objects abo veor below the
de tection range, thefo llowing situations may
arise:
R Parking Pilot may steer too ear ly.
R Vehicles with automatic transmis‐
sion: Thevehicle may not stop in front of
th ese objects.
This could cause a collision. #
Inthese situations, do not use Parking
Pilot. Sn
owfa ll or heavy rain may lead toa parking
space being measured inaccuratel y.Pa rking
spaces that are partial lyoccupied bytrailer
dr aw bars might not be identified as such or be
measured incor rectly. Only use Parking Pilot on
le ve l, high-grip ground. Do not use
Parking Pilot, forex ample, in thefo l‐
lowing situations:
R Inextreme weather conditions such as ice or
pac ked snow or in heavy rain.
R Ifyo u are transpo rting a load that pr otru des

R Ifth e parking space is on a steep downhill or
uphill gradient.
R Ifyo u ha veins talled snow chains.
Pa rking Pilot may also display parking spaces
th at are not suitable for parking, e.g.:
R Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
R Parking spaces on unsuitable sur faces.
Pa rking Pilot will not assist you with parking
spaces at right angles tothe direction of tr avel
in thefo llowing situations:
R If two parking spaces are located immedi‐
ately next toeach other.
R Ifth e parking space is directly next toa low
