may also cause the system to display a warn-
ing.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, the dis-
tance warning function can neither reduce the
risk of an accident nor override the laws of
physics. The distance warning function cannot
take into account road, weather or traffic con-
ditions. The distance warning function is only
an aid. You are responsible for the distance to
the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking
in good time and for staying in your lane.
Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the configuration and operation of
the radar sensor checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This also applies to collisions
at slow speeds where there is no visible dam-
age to the front of the vehicle.
If you change wheel size, make sure they cor-
respond to the correct wheel size category
(Y page
278). If the category is changed with-
out recoding the control units in the vehicle,
the functioning of the distance warning feature
may be impaired. COLLISION PREVENTION
ASSIST may then detect a malfunction and
switch itself off.
Operation
X To activate/deactivate: activate or deacti-
vate the distance warning function in the on-
board computer
(Y page 190).
If the distance warning function of COLLI-
SION PREVENTION ASSIST is activated, the
display shows the Ä symbol:

menu (Y page 189)
At speeds up to approx 20 mph (30 km/h)
the display in vehicles with Active Parking
Assist first shows the í status indicator.
Only from a speed of about 20 mph
(30 km/h) does the display show the
Äsymbol instead of the í status indica-
tor.
The distance warning function can help you to
minimize the risk of a front-end collision with a
vehicle ahead or reduce the effects of such a
collision. With the help of the radar sensor sys-
tem, the distance warning function can detect
obstacles that are in the path of your vehicle
for an extended period of time. If the distance
warning function detects that there is a risk of
a collision, you will be warned visually and,
where necessary, acoustically. Without your intervention, the distance warning function
cannot prevent a collision.
The distance warning function issues a warn-
ing at speeds:
R from about
4 mph (7 km/h) if you approach
a vehicle traveling in front or a stationary
vehicle too quickly. The · warning lamp
in the instrument cluster then lights up and
an intermittent warning tone also sounds.
At speeds up to about 45 mph (70 km/h),
the system also detects stationary obsta-
cles, for example stopped or parked vehi-
cles.
X Brake immediately until the distance from
the obstacle increases and the risk of a
front-end collision passes.
or X Take evasive action, provided it is safe to do
so.
Adaptive Brake Assist General notes
Adaptive Brake Assist evaluates the traffic sit-
uation with the help of the radar sensor sys-
tem and can detect obstacles which have been
in your vehicle's path for an extended period
of time. From speeds above 4 mph (7 km/h
),
Adaptive Brake Assist aids you in braking dur-
ing hazardous situations.
Up to a speed of approximately 125 mph
(200 km/h), Adaptive Brake Assist is capable
of reacting to moving obstacles that have
already been detected as such at least once
over the period of observation.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Adaptive Brake Assist does not react:
R to people or animals
R to oncoming vehicles
R to crossing traffic
R to stationary obstacles
R when cornering
As a result, the Adaptive Brake Assist may
not intervene in all critical conditions. There
is a risk of an accident. 150

situation and be ready to brake. G
WARNING
Adaptive Brake Assist cannot always clearly
identify objects and complex traffic situa-
tions.
In such cases, Adaptive Brake Assist can:
R intervene unnecessarily
R not intervene
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
situation and be ready to brake. Terminate
the intervention in a non-critical driving sit-
uation.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can be
impaired in the case of:
R dirt on the sensors or anything else covering
the sensors
R snow or heavy rain
R interference from other radar sources
R strong radar reflections, for example, in
parking garages
R a narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a
motorbike
R a vehicle traveling in front on a different line
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving conditions
may also cause Adaptive Brake Assist to inter-
vene.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Adaptive
Brake Assist can neither reduce the risk of
accident nor override the laws of physics.
Adaptive Brake Assist cannot take into
account road, weather or traffic conditions.
Adaptive Brake Assist is only an aid. You are

the functioning of Adaptive Brake Assist may
be impaired. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
may then detect a malfunction and switch
itself off.
If Adaptive Brake Assist is not available due to
a malfunction in the radar sensor system, the
brake system remains available with full brake
boosting effect and BAS.
Operation With the help of the radar sensor system,
Adaptive Brake Assist can detect obstacles
that have been in the path of your vehicle for
an extended period of time. Adaptive Brake
Assist does not react to stationary obstacles.
If Adaptive Brake Assist detects a risk of colli-
sion with a vehicle traveling in front or with a
stationary obstacle, the system calculates the
braking force necessary to avoid this collision.
If you apply the brakes forcefully, Adaptive
Brake Assist will automatically increase the
braking force to a level suitable for the traffic
conditions.
X Brake until the distance to the obstacle
increases and the risk of a collision passes.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
The brakes function as usual again if:
R you release the brake pedal
R there is no longer any danger of a collision
R no obstacle is detected in front of your vehi-
cle
Braking assistance is then ended. 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 in the bumper. It supports you from
speeds of approximately
20 mph (30 km/h). 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 lane, you will
also receive an optical and audible collision
warning. Driving systems

WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist cannot always clearly
detect lane markings.
In such cases, Lane Keeping Assist can:
R give an unnecessary warning
R not give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and keep within the lane, espe-
cially if Lane Keeping Assist alerts you. G
WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist warning does not
return the vehicle to the original lane. There
is a risk of an accident.
You should always steer, brake or accelerate
yourself, in particular if warned by Lane
Keeping Assist.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane
Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of
accident nor override the laws of physics.
Lane Keeping Assist cannot take into account
road, weather or traffic conditions. Lane Keep-
ing Assist is only an aid. You are responsible
for the distance to the vehicle in front, for
vehicle speed, braking in good time and for
staying in your lane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your vehi-
cle in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not func-
tion if:
R there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuffi-
cient illumination of the road, or due to
snow, rain, fog or spray
R there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
the sun or reflection from other vehicles
(e.g. if the road surface is wet)
R the windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged
or covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera
R there are no lane markings, or several
unclear lane markings for one lane, e.g.
around construction sites R
the lane markings are worn away, dark or
covered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
R the distance to the vehicle in front is too
short and thus the lane markings cannot be
detected
R the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
branch off, cross one another or merge
R the road is narrow and winding
R there are highly variable shade conditions

assistance function of Active Parking Assist is
stopped. The vehicle is parked and kept sta-
tionary without the driver having to depress the brake pedal. The braking effect is canceled
when you depress the accelerator pedal.
Active Parking Assist no longer supports you
with steering interventions and brake applica-
tions. Once active parking assistance has been
stopped, you must steer and brake again your-
self. PARKTRONIC is still available.
Parking tips:
R The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent on
various factors. These include the position
and shape of the vehicles parked in front
and behind it and the conditions of the loca-
tion. It may be the case that Active Parking
Assist guides you too far into a parking
space, or not far enough into it. In some
cases, it may also lead you across or onto
the curb. In this case, cancel the active
parking assistance.
R You can also engage transmission position
h prematurely. The vehicle redirects and
does not drive as far into the parking space.
If you change direction too early, parking
assistance is canceled and Active Parking
Assist is stopped. It is then not possible to
achieve a sensible parking position from the
current position.
Exiting a parking space In order that Active Parking Assist can assist
you when exiting the parking space, the follow-
ing conditions must be fulfilled:
R the border of the parking space must be
high enough at the front and the rear, a
curb, for instance, is not sufficient.
R the border of the parking space must not be
too wide. Your vehicle can be maneuvered
into a position at a maximum of 45° to the
starting position in the parking space.
R a maneuvering distance of at least
3.3 ft
(1.0 m) must be available.
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking space if you have parked the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
If PARKTRONIC detects obstacles, Active Park-
ing Assist brakes automatically when exiting
from the parking space. You are responsible
for braking in good time. 162

The rear view camera is a visual parking aid. It
shows you the area behind the vehicle in the
audio display.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed in a
mirrored fashion, as in the rear-view mirror or
the exterior mirrors. The guide lines displayed
assist you in backing up.
The message displays depend on the language
setting of the audio system. The following rear
view camera displays are examples.
Important safety notes !
Objects that are not at ground level appear
further away than they actually are, for
example:
R the bumper of the vehicle parked behind
R the drawbar of a trailer
R the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
R the tail-end of a truck
R slanted posts
Only use the camera guide lines for orienta-
tion. Do not get any closer to objects than
the lowest horizontal guide line. You may
otherwise damage your vehicle and/or the
object.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immediate
surroundings. You are responsible for safe
maneuvering and parking. Make sure that
there are no persons, animals or objects in the
maneuvering area while maneuvering and
parking in parking spaces.
The rear view camera may show obstacles in
perspectival distortion, incorrectly or not at all.
The rear view camera cannot display all
objects located very near and/or under the
rear bumper. It does not warn you of a colli-
sion, persons or objects.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function
in a limited manner:
R if the tailgate or rear-end door is open.
R if it is raining very heavily or snowing, or it is
foggy.
R at night or in very dark places.
R if the camera is exposed to very bright light.
White lines may appear in the camera image
R if the area is lit by fluorescent light, e.g.
from fluorescent lamps or LED lighting.
The camera image may flicker. R
if the camera lens fogs up, e.g. when driving
into a heated garage in winter, causing a
rapid change in temperature.
R the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning.
(Y page
267)
R if the rear of the vehicle is damaged.
In this case, have the camera position and
setting checked at a qualified specialist
workshop.
R the display has pixel errors.
Have the display repaired or replaced if usa-
bility is significantly reduced due to pixel
errors.
Do not use the rear view camera in these sit-
uations. You could otherwise injure others or
damage objects and the vehicle while parking
and maneuvering.
The field of vision and other functions of the
rear view camera may be restricted due to
additional accessories on the rear of the vehi-
cle (e.g. license plate holder, rear-mounted
bicycle rack).
Guide lines are always shown at road level. In
trailer mode, the guide lines are shown at the
level of the trailer coupling.
If you change wheel size, make sure they cor-
respond to the correct wheel size category
( Y page 278). If the category is changed with-
out recoding the control units in the vehicle,
the rear view camera cannot be precisely cali-
brated. The guide lines at road level or at the
level of the trailer tow hitch will not be dis-
played correctly.
In vehicles with a tailgate, the rear view cam-
era is protected from raindrops and dust by
means of a flap. When the rear view camera is
activated, this flap opens.
The flap closes again when:
R you have finished the maneuvering process
R you switch off the engine
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the rear view camera has
been deactivated. 164

Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models
as well as standard and optional equipment of
your vehicle that were available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific variations are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the described functions.
This also applies to systems and functions rel-
evant to safety.

G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the
vehicle when driving, you may be distracted
from the traffic situation. You could also
lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of
an accident.
Only operate this equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that
this is possible, park the vehicle paying
attention to traffic conditions and operate
the equipment when the vehicle is station-
ary. G
WARNING
If you are driving and reach through the
steering wheel to operate the adjustment
knob, you could lose control of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
Only operate the adjustment knobs when
the vehicle is stationary. Do not reach
through the steering wheel when driving.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving
when operating the on-board computer. G
WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or mal-
functioned, you may not recognize function
restrictions in systems relevant to safety. The operating safety of your vehicle may be
impaired. There is a risk of an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have the vehicle checked
at a qualified specialist workshop immedi-
ately.
The on-board computer display only shows
messages and warnings from certain systems.
You should therefore make sure your vehicle is
operating safely at all times. If the operating
safety of your vehicle is impaired, stop the
vehicle as soon as possible, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions. Then consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
The accuracy of the speedometer and odome-
ter displays is legally prescribed. Determining
the speed is dependent on the wheel size or
the rolling circumference of the wheels. If you
change the wheel size on your vehicle, make
sure it is assigned to the correct wheel size
category ( Y page
278). If you change wheel
size category without recoding the control
unit, the speedometer indication will be inac-
curate. Driving safety and driving systems may
be impaired or detect a malfunction and shut
down.

If you change the wheel size on your vehicle,
make sure it is assigned to the correct wheel
size category ( Y page
278). If you change
wheel size category without recoding the con-
trol unit, the speedometer indication will be
inaccurate. The current vehicle speed may
then be higher than the speed displayed in the
speedometer.
The speed can also be shown in the display in
the form of a digital speedometer:
