the parking procedure with Parking Pilot.
R You can also preselect transmission position
h. The vehicle redirects and does not drive
as far into the parking space. Should the
transmission change take place too early, the
parking procedure is cancelled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
Exiting a parking space In order that Parking Pilot can support you when
exiting the parking space:
R you need to have parked using Parking Pilot
R the border of the parking space must be high
enough at the front and the rear. A kerb stone is too small, for example
R the border of the parking space must not be
too wide, as the position of the vehicle must
not exceed an angle of 45° to the starting
position as it is manoeuvred into the parking
space
R a manoeuvring distance of at least 1.0 mmust
be available
Parking Pilot can assist you with exiting a park-
ing space only if you have parked the vehicle
parallel to the direction of travel using the Park- ing Pilot.

General notes ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys such as on motorways
and trunk roads. It is active in the 60 km/h to
200 km/h speed range. If ATTENTION ASSIST
detects typical indicators of fatigue or increas-
ing lapses in concentration on the part of the
driver, it suggests taking a break.
Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It may not
always detect fatigue or lapses in concentration
until too late, or may not detect them at all. The system is not a substitute for a well-rested and
attentive driver.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted, and warnings may be delayed or not
occur at all in the following situations:
R the length of the journey is less than approx-
imately 30 minutes
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the surface
is uneven or contains potholes
R in the event of strong crosswinds
R if you have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of accel-
eration
R if you are predominantly driving at a speed
below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h R
if the time has been set incorrectly
R in active driving situations, such as when you
change lanes or change your speed
ATTENTION ASSIST is reset and starts assessing
your tiredness again when you continue your
journey if:
R you switch off the engine
R you take off your seat belt and open the driv-
er's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or to
take a break
Displaying the attention level You can have current status information dis-
played in the assistance menu (Y
page 226) of
the on-board computer.
X Select the assistance graphics display for
ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-board com-
puter (Y page 226).
The following information is displayed:
R the length of the journey since the last break
R the attention level determined by ATTENTION
ASSIST( Attention level Attention level), displayed in a
bar display in five levels from high to low.
R if ATTENTION ASSIST is unable to calculate
the attention level and cannot output a warn-
ing, the System suspended System suspended message
appears. The bar display then changes the
display, e.g. if you are driving at a speed below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h.
Activating ATTENTION ASSIST X
Activate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Y page 227).
The system determines the attention level of
the driver depending on the setting selected:
Standard Standard selected: the sensitivity with which
the system determines the attention level is set to normal. 206
Driving systemsDriving and pa
rking

Sensitive
Sensitive
selected: the sensitivity is set
higher. The attention level detected by ATTEN-
TION ASSIST is adapted accordingly and the
driver is warned earlier.
When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the
é symbol appears in the multifunction dis-
play in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactivated, it is automatically reactivated after the engine
has been switched off. The sensitivity selected
corresponds to the last selection activated
(standard/sensitive).
Warning on the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration
are detected, a warning appears in the multi-
function display: ATTENTION ASSIST
ATTENTION ASSIST Take a Take a
break! break!
In addition to the message shown on the multi-
function display, you will then hear a warning
tone.
X If necessary, take a break.
X Confirm the message by pressing the a
button on the steering wheel.
On long journeys, take regular breaks that allow for adequate refreshment. If you do not take a
break and ATTENTION ASSIST still detects
increasing lapses in concentration, you will be
warned again after 15 minutes at the earliest.
This will happen only if ATTENTION ASSIST still
detects typical indicators of fatigue or increas-
ing lapses in concentration.
Vehicles with multimedia system COMAND
Online: if a warning is output in the multifunc-
tion display, a service station search is per-
formed in the multimedia system. You can
select a service station and you will then be
navigated to this service station. This function
can be activated or deactivated in the multime- dia system; see Digital Owner's Manual. Traffic Sign Assist
General notes Traffic Sign Assist displays the maximum speed
permitted and overtaking restrictions to the
driver in the instrument cluster. Driving onto a
section of road in the wrong direction triggers a
warning. Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with multifunction camera :attached at the
top of the windscreen. The data and general
traffic regulations stored in the navigation sys-
tem are also used to determine the current
speed limit.
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your vehicle is passed, the display of the speed limits and over-
taking restrictions is updated.
The display can also be updated without a visible traffic sign in the following situations:
R the vehicle changes roads (e.g. motorway exit
or slip road)
R a village or town boundary that is stored in the
digital map is passed
R the last traffic sign detected by the camera
has not been repeated
If a sign indicating the end of a restriction (speed limit or overtaking restriction) is passed, the
sign is displayed for five seconds. The currently
applicable traffic regulation continues to be
shown in the assistance graphic display
(Y page 226).
The camera also detects traffic signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g. in
wet conditions).
The traffic signs are only displayed with the
restriction if:
R the regulation must be observed with the
restriction, or
R Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies Driving systems
207Driving and parking Z

If Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine a
maximum permitted speed from any of the avail- able sources, no speed limit is displayed in the
instrument cluster either. Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all coun-
tries. In this case, display :is shown in the
multifunction display.
Important safety notes Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not always
able to correctly display speed limits and over-
taking restrictions. Traffic signs always have pri-
ority over the Traffic Sign Assist display.
The system may be either functionally impaired
or temporarily unavailable in the following sit-
uations:
R Visibility is poor, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog or
spray
R Glare, e.g. from the sun being low in the sky
R Dirt, ice or misting on the windscreen in the
vicinity of the camera
R Traffic signs are hard to detect (dirt, ice,
snow)
R Traffic signs are insufficiently lit at night
R Signs are ambiguous (e.g. traffic signs on con-
struction sites or in adjacent lanes)
R Information in the digital street map of the
navigation system is incorrect or out of date
Activating Traffic Sign Assist If you have activated the Traffic Sign Assist dis-
play in the on-board computer, the traffic regu-
lations (speed limits and overtaking restrictions)
are displayed in the instrument cluster for five
seconds in each case. The wrong-way warning
and the traffic sign display for speed limits and
overtaking restrictions remain active in the assistance graphic even when the display has
been deactivated.
X Activate the Traffic Sign Assist display using
the on-board computer (Y page 226).
Instrument cluster display Speed limit with unknown restriction
i The following illustrations are examples of
vehicles with colour multifunction display.
The illustrations of vehicles with black and
white multifunction display differ from them.
i The unit for the speed limit (km/h or mph)
depends on the country in which you are driv-
ing. It is generally shown neither on the traffic
sign nor in the instrument cluster but must be
taken into account when observing the max-
imum permitted speed. :
Maximum permissible speed
; Maximum permissible speed for vehicles for
which the restriction in the additional sign is
relevant
= Additional sign for unknown restriction
A maximum permissible speed of 80 km/h
(80 mph) and a speed limit of 60 km/h (60 mph) with an unknown restriction apply. 208
Driving systemsDriving and parking

No entry (wrong-way warning)
A warning message
:is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster if Traffic Sign Assist detects that
you are passing a “no entry” sign and you are
driving in the wrong direction. You will then also hear a warning tone. You should immediately
check your direction of travel in order to avoid
danger to yourself and other road users. Lane Tracking package
General notes The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Spot Assist (Y
page 209) and Lane Keeping
Assist (Y page 210).
Blind Spot Assist General notes
Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas on either
side of the vehicle that are not visible to the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-
sors. A warning display in the exterior mirrors
draws your attention to vehicles detected in the
monitored area. If you then switch on the cor-
responding turn signal to change lanes, you will also receive a visual and audible warning.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from a speed of
approximately 30 km/h.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles:
R overtaken too closely on the side, placing
them in the blind spot area
R when the difference in the speed of
approach and overtaking is too great As a result, Blind Spot Assist cannot warn
drivers in these situations. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic sit- uation and maintain a safe distance at the side
of the vehicle.
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to
detect some vehicles and is not a substitute for attentive driving. Always ensure that there is
sufficient distance to the side for other road
users and obstacles.
Radar sensors The radar sensors for Blind Spot Assist are inte-
grated into the rear bumper. Make sure that the bumpers are free from dirt, ice or slush. The
sensors must not be covered, e.g. by cycle racks
or overhanging loads. Following a severe impact
or in the event of damage to the bumpers, have the function of the radar sensors checked at a
qualified specialist workshop. Blind Spot Assist
may no longer work properly in such cases.
Monitoring range of the sensors
In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
impaired in the following situations:
R dirt on the sensors or obscured sensors
R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R a narrow vehicle travelling in front, e.g. a
motorcycle or a bicycle
R very wide lanes
R narrow lanes
R vehicles not driving in the middle of their lane
R barriers or other road boundaries
Vehicles in the monitoring range are then not
indicated.
Blind Spot Assist monitors an area up to 3.0 m
behind your vehicle and directly next to your
vehicle.
If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane next to your vehicle may be
indicated, especially if the vehicles are not driv-
ing in the middle of their lane. This may be the
case if the vehicles are driving on the inner side of their lane. Driving systems
