parking procedure with the Parking Package
with rear view camera.
!If they cannot be avoided, drive overobstacles such as curbs slowly and at anobtuse angle. Otherwise, you may damagethe wheels or tires.
Active Parking Assist may also show parkingspaces which are not suitable for parking, forexample:
Rwhere parking or stopping is prohibited
Rin front of driveways or entrances and exits
Ron unsuitable surfaces
Parking tips:
Ron narrow roads, drive as close to the park-ing space as possible
Rparking spaces that are littered or over-grown might be identified or measuredincorrectly
Rparking spaces that are partially occupiedby trailer drawbars might not be identifiedas such or be measured incorrectly
Rsnowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parkingspace being measured inaccurately
Rpay attention to the warning messages ofParking Assist PARKTRONIC during theparking procedure (Ypage 174)
Ryou can intervene in the steering procedureto correct it at any time. Active ParkingAssist will then be canceled
Rwhen transporting a load which protrudesfrom your vehicle, you should not use ActiveParking Assist
Rnever use Active Parking Assist when snowchains are installed
Rmake sure that the tire pressures are alwayscorrect. This has a direct influence on theparking characteristics of the vehicle
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces:
Rparallel or at right angles to the direction oftravel
Ron straight roads, not bends
Ron the same level as the road, e.g. not onthe pavement
Detecting parking spaces
Objects located above the detection range ofActive Parking Assist will not be detectedwhen the parking space is measured. These
are not taken into account when the parkingprocedure is calculated, e.g. overhangingloads, tail sections or loading ramps of trucks.Active Parking Assist may therefore guide youinto the parking space too early.
GWARNING
If there are objects above the detection
range:
Rthe Parking Package with rear view cam-
era may steer too early
Rthe vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects
This could cause a collision. There is a risk
of an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and deactivate the Parking Pack-
age with rear view camera.
Further information about the detection range(Ypage 173).
Active Parking Assist does not assist you park-ing in spaces at right angles to the direction oftravel if:
Xtwo parking spaces are located directly nextto one another
Xthe parking space is directly next to a lowobstacle such as a low curb
Xyou park forwards
Active Parking Assist does not assist you park-ing in spaces that are parallel or at right anglesto the direction of travel if:
Rthe parking space is on a curb
Rthe system reads the parking space as beingblocked, for example by foliage or grasspaving blocks
Rthe area is too small for the vehicle tomaneuver into
Rthe parking space is bordered by an obsta-cle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer
GWARNING
If there are objects above the detection
range:
RActive Parking Assist may steer too early
Rthe vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects

Under the following circumstances, the rearview camera will not function, or will functionin a limited manner:
Rif the trunk lid is open
Rin heavy rain, snow or fog
Rat night or in very dark places
Rif the camera is exposed to very bright light
Rif the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LEDlighting (the display may flicker)
Rif there is a sudden change in temperature,e.g. when driving into a heated garage inwinter
Rif the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.Observe the notes on cleaning(Ypage 275)
Rif the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In thiscase, have the camera position and settingchecked at a qualified specialist workshop.
The field of vision and other functions of therear view camera may be restricted due toadditional accessories on the rear of the vehi-cle (e.g. license plate holder, bicycle rack).
On vehicles with height-adjustable chassis,leaving the standard height can result in inac-curacies in the guide lines, depending on tech-nical conditions.
iThe contrast of the display may be affec-ted by the sudden presence of sunlight orother light sources, e.g. when exiting agarage. Pay particular attention in this situa-tion.
iIf usability is severely restricted, e.g. dueto pixel errors, have the display repaired orreplaced.
Activating/deactivating the rear view
camera
XTo activate:make sure that the SmartKeyis in position Hin the ignition lock.
XMake sure that theActivation by R gearActivation by R gearfunction is selected in the multimedia sys-tem; see the Digital Operator's Manual.

The image from the rear view camera isavailable throughout the maneuvering proc-ess.
To deactivate:the rear view camera deacti-vates if you shift the transmission to position ], or after driving forwards a short distance.
The inner segments of the warning indicatorare displayed in red if there is a complete sys-tem failure. The indicator lamp in thePARKTRONIC button lights up.
If the system fails at the rear of the vehicle:
Rthe rear segments are shown in red whenbacking up.

Rthe bumper of a parked vehicle
Rthe drawbar of a trailer
Rthe ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
Rthe rear section of an HGV
Ra slanted post
Use the guidelines only for orientation.Approach objects no further than the bot-tom-most guideline.

Active Lane Keeping Assist
General notes
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the areain front of your vehicle by means of multifunc-tion camera Cat the top of the windshield.Various areas to the front, rear and side ofyour vehicle are also monitored with the aid ofthe radar sensor system. Active Lane KeepingAssist detects lane markings on the road andcan warn you before you leave your lane unin-tentionally. If you do not react to the warning,a lane-correcting application of the brakes canbring the vehicle back into the original lane.
This function is available in a speed rangebetween 40 mph and 120 mph (60 km/h and200 km/h).
For Active Lane Keeping Assist to assist youwhen driving, the radar sensor system must beoperational.
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, ActiveLane Keeping Assist can neither reduce therisk of accident nor override the laws of phys-ics. Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot takeinto account road, weather or traffic condi-tions. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only anaid. You are responsible for the distance to thevehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for brakingin good time and for staying in your lane.
Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot continu-ously keep your vehicle in its lane.
GWARNING
Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot always
clearly detect lane markings.

% QThe yellow ABS warning lamp is lit while the engine is running.
ABS (anti-lock braking system) is malfunctioning.
If there is an additional warning tone, the EBD (electronic brake force distribu-tion) is malfunctioning.
Other driving systems and driving safety systems may also malfunction.
GWARNING
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions lis-ted above. The front and rear wheels could therefore lock if you perform a fullbrake application, for example.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The brak-ing distance in an emergency braking situation can increase.
If ESP®is not operational, ESP®is unable to stabilize the vehicle.
There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident.
XObserve the additional display messages in the multifunction display.
XDrive on carefully.
XVisit a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
If the ABS control unit is defective, there is also a possibility that other systems,such as the navigation system or the automatic transmission, will not be availa-ble.
