generative brake sy stem Fu
nction of there ge nerative brake sy stem
Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,
th e electric mo tor is operated as an alternator
when in overru n mode and du ring braking in
order tocharge the high-voltage battery while
driving. As soon as youre lease the accelera tor
pedal when theve hicle is in motion, recupera‐
tion in overru n mode is initia ted.
The rege nerati vebrake sy stem has thefo llowing
ch aracteristics:
R suppo rts braking with an electronically con‐
trolled brake forc e boosting
R con verts th e kinetic energy of theve hicle
into electric energy
In the drive program, you can use thesteering
wheel gearshift paddles tomanually adju st theintensity of
recuperation in overru n mode
(/ page 161).
Sy stem limits
The braking ef fect of the electric mo tor during
re cuperation in overru n mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R when the high-voltage battery charge level
inc reases
R ifth e high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor‐
mal operating temp erature
R when driving at speeds close tozero
R in transmission position i
R during and af ter ESP ®
inter venes
In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by
th e brake control sy stem. Also brake with the
service brake if necessar y.
Manually setting recuperative deceleration
Yo u can use thesteering wheel gearshift paddles
to manually adju stthe intensity of recuperation
in ove rrun mode. The higher
there cuperation, the more sharply
th eve hicle is braked when coasting and the
more electrical energy is fed into the high-volt‐
age batter y.
% The standard setting is automatically set

Ac
tive Parking Assist Fu
nction of Active Parking Assist
Ac tive Parking Assist is an elect ronic pa rking
assis tance sy stem which uses ultrasound and is
automatically activated during forw ard tra vel.
The sy stem is operational at speeds below
appr oximately 35 km/h.
If all requ irements are met, theÇ display
appears in the multifunction displa y.The sy stem
th en independently locates and measures paral‐
lel and perpendicular parking spaces on bo th
sides of theve hicle.
When Active Parking Assist has de tected pa rking
spaces, theÈ display appears in the multi‐
function displa y.The ar rowsshow on which side
of thero ad de tected pa rking spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media displa y.The
parking space and, if necessar y,the parking
direction can be selected as desired. Active
Pa rking Assist calculates a suitable vehicle path,
switches on the turn signal indicator and assists
yo u in parking and exiting the parking space. Ac
tive Parking Assist pr ovides assis tance when
ch anging gear, accelerating, braking and steer‐
ing theve hicle.
Ac tive Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute foryo ur attention tothe sur roundings.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.
Ac tive Parking Assist is cancelled if, among
ot her things, one of thefo llowing actions is car‐
ri ed out:
R You deactivate Parking Assist PARKTRONIC.
R You deactivate Active Parking Assist.
R You begin steering.
R You apply the parking brake.
R You en gage transmission position j.

stem limits
Objects located abo veor below the de tection
ra nge of Active Parking Assist are not de tected
when the parking space is being measured.
These are also not take n into account when the
parking manoeuvre is calculated, e.g. overhang‐
ing loads, overhangs or loading ramp s of lor ries
or the boundaries of parking spaces. In some cir‐
cums tances, Active Parking Assist may therefore
guide you into the parking space prematurel y. &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located abo veor below the
de tection range of Active Parking Assist
If th ere are objects abo veor below the
de tection range, thefo llowing situations may
arise:
R Active Parking Assist may steer too early.
R The vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects.
This could cause a collision. #
