suitable parking slot.Park guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres for parallel parking slots or
six metres for perpendicular parking
slots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.
A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.

● The demand to shift into reverse or first gear.

170Driving and operatingCaution
Performance of the system can bereduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Note
It is possible that the sensor detects a non-existing object caused by
echo disturbance from external
acoustic noise or mechanical
misalignments (sporadic false
warnings may occur).
Make sure that the front number
plate is properly mounted (not bent
and no gaps to the bumper on the left
or right side) and the sensors are
firmly in place.
Advanced parking assist system
may not respond to changes in the
available parking space after
initiating a parking manoeuvre. The
system may recognize an entry, a
gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as a parking slot. After
selecting reverse gear the system
will start a parking manoeuvre. Take care regarding the availability of the
suggested parking slot.
Surface irregularities, e.g. on construction zones, are not detected
by the system. The driver accepts
responsibility.
Note
If engaging a forward gear and
exceeding a certain speed, the
parking assist will be deactivated
when the rear carrier system is
extended.If engaging reverse for the first time,
the parking assist will detect the rear carrier system and provide a buzzing
sound. Press r or D briefly to
deactivate the parking assist.
Note
After production, the system
requires a calibration. For optimal
parking guidance, a driving distance
of at least 10 km, including a number of bends, is required.
Side blind spot alert The Side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system
displays a visual alert in each exterior
mirror, when detecting objects that
may not be visible in the interior and
exterior mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear
bumper on both sides of the vehicle.
