Driving and operating177Advanced parking assist9Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
the advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle into a parallel or
perpendicular parking slot.
Instructions are given in the Driver
Information Centre 3 82 or,
depending on the version, on the Info display 3 85, supported by acoustic
signals.
The driver must control acceleration, braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically.Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist. Both systems use the same
sensors in the front and rear bumper.
The system has six ultrasonic parking
sensors in the front bumper and five
ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear
bumper.
Activation of advanced parking assist Advanced parking assist can only be
activated when driving forwards.When searching for a parking slot, the system is ready to operate with a
short press of (.
The system recognises and
memorises 10 m for parallel parking
slots or 6 m for perpendicular parking
slots in the parking assist mode.
The system can only be activated at
a speed up to 30 km/h and the system
searches for a parking slot at a speed up to 30 km/h.
The maximum allowed parallel
distance between the vehicle and a
row of parked cars is 1.8 m for parallel
parking and 2.5 m for perpendicular
parking.

When the vehicle no longer needs to
use power from the charging station,
the charging process will be stopped.
Use the electronic key to unlock the
DC vehicle plug.
Energy can still be consumed from
the charging station when the
vehicle’s displays and indicators
show that the high voltage battery is
fully charged. This is to ensure the
high voltage battery is in optimal
temperature operating range to
maximise vehicle range.
Programmable charging 3 196.

Programmable charging
Programmable charge modes To view the current charge mode
status in the Infotainment display,
touch Energy and then Charging.
The charge start and charge
complete time estimations are also
displayed on the screen. These
estimations are most accurate when
the vehicle is plugged in and in
moderate temperature conditions.
Also, to get an accurate time
estimate, the vehicle uses an internal
clock for programmable charging, not the clock in the instrument panel.

Driving and operating201Priority charging
The priority charging feature will work
when the Departure charge mode is
selected. This feature is designed to
ensure that the high voltage battery
pack has a minimal amount of energy
prior to delaying a charge. Upon
completion of priority charging the
vehicle will return to normal
programmable charging operation.
The feature can be enabled or
disabled by selecting On or Off from
the Charge mode screen when the
Departure charge mode is selected.
When enabled, priority charging will
only prevent programmable charging
while the high voltage battery is
recharged from a depleted state to a
level allowing 40% of the driving
range.
Temporary charge mode override

To temporarily override a delayed
charge event, unplug the charge cord
from the charge port and then plug it
back in within five seconds. A single
audible chirp will sound and charging will begin immediately.To cancel a temporary override,
unplug the charge cord, wait for
ten seconds, and then plug the
charge cord back in. A double audible
chirp will sound and charging will be
delayed.
Temporary override of a delayed
charge mode
Programmed delayed charge modes
can be temporarily overridden to an
immediate charge mode for one
charge cycle. Also, the next planned
departure time can be temporarily overridden for one charge cycle. In
addition to the in-vehicle overrides via the programmable charging screens,
there are other ways to temporarily
override a delayed charge mode.
