Driving and operating161
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is ready to operate
automatically.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
1.5 metres. The interval between the
sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to that obstacle.
When the distance is less than
approx. 30 cm, the sound is
continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear obstacles is displayed by changing
distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre with Uplevel
display 3 97 or, depending on the
version, on the Colour-Info-Display
3 101.
The distance indication can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a
higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing SET/CLR on
the turn signal lever, distance
indication appears again.Deactivation
The system automatically switches
off when reverse gear is disengaged.
Manual deactivation is also possible
by pressing the parking assist button
r .
In both cases, the LED in the button
extinguishes.

Information Centre.
Front-rear parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
The front-rear parking assist
measures the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in front and
behind the vehicle. It informs and
warns the driver via acoustic signals
and display indication.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors each in the rear and front bumper.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
front and rear parking assist is ready
to operate.
The system is also activated
automatically at a speed up to
11 km/h.An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
If r is switched off within an ignition
cycle, the front parking assist is
deactivated. If vehicle speed has
exceeded 25 km/h beforehand,
parking assist will be reactivated when speed drops below 11 km/h.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles in front of the
vehicle in a distance range up to
80 cm and against potentially

Driving and operating163hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to 1.5
metres.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you
will hear acoustic warning signals in
the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm, the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre with Uplevel
display 3 97 or, depending on the
version, on the Colour-Info-Display
3 101.
The distance indication can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a
higher priority. After dismissing the message, distance indication
appears again.
The distance to obstacles is shown on the Colour-Info-Display by coloured
zones in front of or behind the vehicle
3 101.

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 97 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour-Info-Display 3 101 , 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.
Parking assist button D and
operation logic
Advanced parking assist and front-
rear parking assist both use the same button for activation and deactivation:
A brief press of D activates or
deactivates the parking assist.
A long press of D (approx.
one second) activates or deactivates the advanced parking assist, see
separate description below.

Driving and operating165Button logic operates the systems by
pressing D as follows:
● If only front-rear parking assist is active, a brief press deactivates
front-rear parking assist.
● If only front-rear parking assist is active, a long press activates
advanced parking assist.
● If only advanced parking assist is
active and the system is in
parking slot searching mode, a
brief press activates front-rear
parking assist.
● If only advanced parking assist is
active and the system is in park
guiding mode, a brief press
deactivates advanced parking
assist.
● If advanced parking assist is active, a long press deactivates
advanced parking assist and front-rear parking assist.● If forward gear or neutral is selected, a brief press activates
or deactivates front parking
assist.
● If reverse gear is selected, a brief
press activates or deactivates
front and rear parking assist.
