Parking assistant The concept
Seite 122CONTROLSDriving comfort122
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 927 905 - II/14

This system assists the driver in parking parallel
to the road.
Ultrasound sensors measure parking spaces on
both sides of the vehicle.
The parking assistant calculates the best possi‐
ble parking line and takes control of steering
during the parking procedure.
When parking, also take note of the visual and
acoustic information issued by the PDC, the
parking assistant and, where applicable, the
rearview camera, and react accordingly.
A component of the parking assistant is the
PDC Park Distance Control, refer to page 118.
Hints Personal responsibility
Even an active system does not relieve
the driver from personal responsibility for the
driving process.
Because of technical system limits, the system
cannot independently react appropriately in all
traffic situations.
Continuously and attentively monitor the driv‐
ing process, the area surrounding the vehicle
and the traffic situation, and actively intervene
when required, otherwise, there is a risk of an
accident. ◀
Changes to the parking space
Changes to the parking space after it was
measured are not taken into account by the
system.
Therefore, always be alert and ready to inter‐
vene; otherwise, there is the danger of an acci‐
dent occurring. ◀
Transporting loads
Loads that extend beyond the perimeter
of the vehicle are not taken into account by the
system during the parking procedure.
Therefore, always be alert and ready to inter‐
vene; otherwise, there is the danger of an acci‐
dent occurring. ◀Curbs
The parking assistant may steer the vehi‐
cle over or onto curbs.
Therefore, always be alert and ready to inter‐
vene; otherwise, the wheels, tires, or the vehi‐
cle may become damaged. ◀
An engine that has been switched off by the
Auto Start Stop function is restarted automati‐
cally when the parking assistant is activated.
Requirements
For measuring parking spaces▷Maximum speed while driving forward ap‐
prox. 22 mph/35 km/h.▷Maximum distance to row of parked vehi‐
cles: 5 ft/1.5 m.
Suitable parking space
▷Gaps behind an object that have a min.
length of 5 ft/1.5 m.▷Gap between two objects with a minimum
length of approx. 5 ft/1.5 m.▷Min. length of gap between two objects:
your vehicle's length plus approx.
3.3 ft/1.0 m.▷Minimum depth: approx. 5 ft/1.5 m.
For parking procedure
▷Doors and tailgate closed.▷Parking brake released.▷When parking in parking spaces on the
driver's side, the corresponding turn signal
must be set.Seite 123Driving comfortCONTROLS123

parking assistant is active, suitable parking
spaces are highlighted.▷The parking procedure is ac‐
tive. Steering control has
been seized.▷Parking space search is always active
whenever the vehicle is moving forwards
slow and straight, even if the system is de‐
activated. When the system is deactivated,
the displays on the Control Display are
shown in gray.
Parking using the parking assistant
Check the traffic situation as well
Loud sounds outside and within the vehi‐
cle can drown out the signal tones of the park‐
ing assistant and PDC.
Check the traffic situation around the vehicle
with your own eyes; otherwise, there is the
danger of an accident. ◀
1.Switch on the parking assistant and activate
it if necessary.
The status of the parking space search is in‐
dicated on the display.2.Follow the instructions on the display.
To achieve the best possible parking posi‐
tion, wait for the automatic steering wheel
movement after the gear change when the
vehicle is stationary.

time:
▷ "Parking Assistant"▷Press the button.Interrupting automatically
The system is interrupted automatically in the
following situations:▷If the driver grasps the steering wheel or if
he takes over steering.▷If a gear is selected that does not match the
instruction on the display.▷If the vehicle speed exceeds approx.
6 mph/10 km/h.▷On snow-covered or slippery road surfaces
if necessary.▷If a maximum number of parking attempts
or the time taken for parking is exceeded.▷If the Park Distance Control PDC displays
clearances that are too small.▷When switching into other functions of the
radio.
A Check Control message is displayed.

Run-flat tiresLabel
RSC label on the tire sidewall.
The wheels are composed of tires that are self-
supporting to a limited degree.
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to re‐
main drivable to a restricted degree in the
event of a pressure loss.
Continued driving with a damaged tire, refer to
page 99.
Continued driving with a damaged tire, refer to
page 96.
Changing run-flat tires
For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.
Your service center will be glad to advise you.
Repairing a flat tire Safety measures in case of a breakdown
Park the vehicle as far away as possible
from passing traffic and on solid ground.
Switch on the hazard warning system.
Turn the steering wheel until the front wheels
are in the straight-ahead position and engage
the steering wheel lock.
Secure the vehicle against rolling away by set‐
ting the parking brake.
Have all vehicle occupants get out of the vehi‐
cle and ensure that they remain outside the im‐
mediate area in a safe place, such as behind a
guardrail.
If necessary, set up a warning triangle at an ap‐
propriate distance.
Comply with all safety guidelines and regula‐
tions. ◀
Mobility System
The concept
With the Mobility System, minor tire damage
can be sealed quickly to enable continued travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the
inside.
The compressor can be used to check the tire
inflation pressure.
Hints▷Follow the instructions on using the Mobi‐
lity System found on the compressor and
sealant bottle.▷Use of the Mobility System may be ineffec‐
tive if the tire puncture measures approx.
1/8 in/4 mm or more.▷Contact the nearest service center if the tire
cannot be made drivable.▷If possible, do not remove foreign bodies
that have penetrated the tire.▷Pull the speed limit sticker off the sealant
bottle and apply it to the steering wheel.▷The use of a tire sealant can damage the
TPM wheel electronics. In this case, have
the electronics checked at the next oppor‐
tunity and have them replaced if necessary.
Storage
The Mobility System is located under the cargo
floor panel in the cargo area.
