● If, after the audible warning goes off, an-
other monitor
ed area is accessed (e.g. the
rear lid is opened after a door has been
opened), the alarm is triggered again.
● The anti-theft alarm is not activated when
the v
ehicle is locked from within using the
central locking button  .
● If the driver door is unlocked mechanically
w ith the k

ey, only the driver door is unlocked,
the rest of the doors remain locked. Only
when the ignition has been turned on will the
other doors be available - but not unlocked -
and the central locking button will be activa-
ted.
● If the vehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft
alarm will not operate cor-
rectly.
● Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the batt
ery is disconnected or not working for
any reason.
● The alarm is triggered immediately if one of
the batt
ery cables is disconnected while the

alarm is activated.
Deactivation – Open the vehicle with the key, either me-
ch

anically or by pressing the  button on
the r emot
e control. The time period from
when the door is opened until the key is in-
serted in the contact should not exceed 15
seconds, otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered.

ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise, their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for e

xample, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
● Open windows (partially or fully).
● Panoramic/tilting sunroof open (partially or
comp
letely).
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
suc
h as loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the

vehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sen
sor, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated. 122

Driver assistance systems
Automatic braking intervention by
P ark
Assist Park Assist helps the driver by automatically
br
ak

ing in certain situations.
The driver is always responsible for braking
in time ››› .
Aut om

atic braking intervention to avoid ex-
ceeding the speed limit
To avoid exceeding the speed limit of approx-
imately 7 km/h (4 mph) when entering or
leaving a parking space, the brakes may acti-
vate automatically. After automatically acti-
vating the brakes, the manoeuvres to enter or
exit a parking space may continue.
The brakes are only automatically activated
once for each attempt to enter or exit a park-
ing space. If the speed of approximately
7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again, the corre-
sponding operation is halted.
Automatic braking to reduce damages
Depending on certain conditions, the Park
Assist system can automatically brake the ve-
hicle when faced with an obstacle, briefly ac-
tioning and holding down the brake ped-
al ››› . Following this the driver must press
the br ak

e pedal.
Automatic braking intervention to reduce
damage leads to the parking manoeuvre fin-
ishing. WARNING
The automatic braking intervention by Park
As s

ist should never tempt you to take any
risk that may compromise safety. The system
is not a replacement for driver awareness.
● The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitation
s inherent to the system. In certain
situations, the automatic braking interven-
tion may only work in a limited way or not
work at all.
● Always be ready to use the brakes yourself!
● The automatic braking intervention will end
aft
er approximately 1.5 seconds. Following
this, brake the vehicle yourself. Parking System Plus (ParkPi-

Represented area. During parking, P
ark

ing System Plus assists
the driver by visually and audibly warning
them about obstacles detected in front of
and behind the vehicle.
There are ultrasound sensors integrated in
the front and rear bumpers. When they detect
an obstacle, you are alerted by audible warn-
ings and visually on the Easy Connect sys-
tem.
In the event of danger of a frontal collision,
the audible warnings come from the front of
the vehicle, and in the event of the danger of
a rear-end collision they come from the rear.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues and the
like, as this could affect the system's opera-
tion. Cleaning instructions ››› page 268.
The approximate measurement range of the
sensors is:
1.20 m
1.60 m
0.90 m
As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
val between the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: do not continue to
move forward (or backward)!
If you maintain separation from the obstacle,
the volume of the warning begins to reduce »

De
scription Various systems are available to help you
when p
ark

ing or manoeuvring in tight
spaces, depending on the equipment fitted
on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns of obstacles located behind the
vehicle.
There are sensors integrated in the rear
bumper. When they detect an obstacle, you
are alerted by audible warnings and visually
on the Easy Connect system.
If the Area View system is installed, the rear
parking aid will issue an audible warning
about objects near the rear of the vehicle,
and the Area View image will be available on
the Easy Connect screen, giving a real image
of the objects around the car.
Make particularly sure that the sensors are
not covered by adhesives, residues, dirt and
the like, as this could affect the system's op-
eration. Cleaning instructions ›››
page 268.
The approximate measurement range of the
rear sensors is:
side area0.60 m
central area1.60 m As you approach the obstacle, the time inter-
v
al

between the audible warnings will be re-
duced. When you reach around 0.30 m the
warning will be constant: Do not continue to
move forward (or backward) ››› ,
››› !
If

you maintain separation from the obstacle,
the volume of the warning begins to reduce
after four seconds (does not affect the tone
of the constant warning).
Activating/Deactivating
When engaging reverse gear, the parking aid
is automatically switched on. This is con-
firmed with a short warning.
On disengaging reverse gear, the parking aid
system is switched off. WARNING
● Alw

ays pay attention, also when looking
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle sur-
roundings. The assistance systems are not a
replacement for driver awareness. When in-
serting or removing the vehicle from a park-
ing space, or when performing similar ma-
noeuvres the driver always assumes the re-
sponsibility.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times
to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. 244

Driver assistance systems
●
The u ltr
asound sensors have blind spots in
which obstacles and people are not regis-
tered. Pay special attention to children and
animals.
● Always keep visual control of the vehicle
surr
oundings: use the mirrors for additional
help. CAUTION
Parking Aid functions may be negatively af-
f ect

ed by different factors that may lead to
damage to the vehicle or its immediate sur-
rounds:
● Under certain circumstances, the system
does
not detect or display certain objects:
– Objects such as chains, trailer draw bars,
fences, posts and thin trees.
– Objects that are located above the sen-
sors, such as protrusions in a wall.
– Objects with certain surfaces or struc-
tures, such as wire mesh fences or pow-
der snow.
● Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not r
eflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect these objects
or people wearing such clothes correctly.
● Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by
external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
● Please note that low obstacles detected by
the sys
tem may no longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
sy
s

tem will not give any further warning. In
certain circumstances, objects such as high
kerbs that could damage the bottom of the
vehicle are not detected either.
● If the first warning from the ParkPilot is ig-
nored, the
vehicle could suffer considerable
damage.
● The knocks or damage on the radiator
gril
le, bumper, wheel arch and vehicle under-
body can adjust the orientation of the sen-
sors. This can affect the parking aid function.
In this case, have the function checked by a
specialised workshop. Note
● In c er

tain situations, the system can give a
warning even though there is no obstacle in
the detected area, e.g:
–with rough or cobbled floors or ground
with long grass;
– with external ultrasound sources, such as
cleaning vehicles or other vehicles equip-
ped with ultrasound systems;
– in downpours, intense snow, hail or
dense exhaust gases,
– if the number plate is not perfectly se-
cured to the bumper surface,
– or in locations such as the brow of a hill.
● In order to guarantee good system opera-
tion, keep the u
ltrasound sensors clean, free of snow or ice, and do not cover them with
a
dhe

sives or other objects.
● If you use high-pressure or vapour equip-
ment t
o clean the ultrasound sensors, apply
it directly only very briefly and always from a
distance of more than 10 cm.
● Retrofitting of accessories to the vehicle,
suc
h as a bicycle rack, may interfere with the
