signs in front of the vehicle. After checking
and ev aluatin
g the inf
ormation from the cam-
era, the navigation system and the current
vehicle data, up to three valid traffic signs
are displayed ››› Fig. 214 B in conjunction
with their corresponding additional signs.
The sign that is currently valid for the
driver is shown in the left side of the
screen For example, a maximum speed
limit of 130 km/h (100 mph)

above the maximum speed permitted.
Trailer mode
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket
device from the factory and a trailer that is
electrically connected to the vehicle, it is pos-
sible to activate or deactivate the display of
specific traffic signs for vehicles with trailer,
such as speed limits or overtaking prohibi-
tions. Activation or deactivation is performed
on the infotainment system using the  button and the
S

 page 33.
For trailer mode, the display of speed limits
applicable to the type of trailer or to the legal
provisions can be adjusted. The speed is ad-
justed in steps of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a
range of between 60 km/h (40 mph) and
130 km/h (80 mph). If it is adjusted to a
speed greater than that which is permitted in
the country in question for driving with a
trailer, the system automatically displays the
usual speed limits, e.g. in Germany 80 km/h
(50 mph).
If the speed warning for the trailer is deacti-
vated, the system displays the speed limits
as if there were no trailer hitched. Limited operation
The traffic s

ign detection system has certain
limitations. The following cases may lead the
system to operate with limitations or not at
all:
● In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,
rain, fog or int
ense mist.
● In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-
on traffic or b
y the sun.
● When driving at high speeds.
● If the camera is covered or dirty.
● If the traffic signs are out of the camera's
field of
vision.
● If the traffic signs are partially or totally
cov
ered, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other ve-
hicles.
● In the case of traffic signs that do not fulfil
the regu
lations.
● In the case of damaged or bent traffic
signs.
● In the c

ase of variable messages on over-
head or g
antry signs (LED-based variable traf-
fic signs or other lighting units).
● If the maps on the navigation system are
not up-to-d
ate.
● In the case of adhesives affixed to vehicles
that depict
traffic signs, e.g. speed limits on
lorries.

ic
e fr

om the factory, when the trailer is
connected electrically, the Parking Aid rear
sensors will not be activated when reverse
gear is engaged, when the selector lever is
turned to position R or when the button  is
pressed.
The distance to possible obstacles at the rear
of the vehicle and at its sides will not be dis-
played on the screen and will not be indica-
ted by means of audible sound signals.
The Easy Connect system screen will only dis-
play objects detected at the front, and the ve-
hicle's trajectory will be hidden. Braking while manoeuvring function* 3 Only valid with Parking System Plus
As
soon a

s an obstacle is detected while re-
versing, the braking while manoeuvring func-
tion activates the emergency braking. De-
pending on the equipment, the braking while
manoeuvring function can also activate
emergency braking while moving forwards.
The emergency braking function is used to
minimise collisions. Vehicle speed must not
be higher than 10 km/h.
The braked manoeuvre function is active or
inactive when the parking light is lit or off, re-
spectively. If an emergency braking is activa-
ted, the function will remain inactive until the
gear is changed.
The Parking System’s limitations apply.
The braking while manoeuvring function is
controlled in the Easy Connect system with

arking aid (Park Pilot)*
Des
cription Assorted assistance systems – which vary
depending on the equipment
fitt

ed in the car
– will help you when parking or manoeu-
vring.
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 Top View Camera* is installed, the rear
parking aid will issue an audible warning
about objects near the rear of the vehicle,
and the Top View Camera* 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 287.

Driver assistance systems
●
The sys t
em is not a replacement for driver
awareness. Supervise the parking operation
at all times, as well as the vehicle's surround-
ing area. Adapt your speed and driving style
at all times to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic by
looking at
the screen.
● The images on the rear assist screen are
only tw
o-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial
depth, protruding parts or holes in the road,
for example, are more difficult to detect or
may not be seen at all.
● Vehicle load modifies the representation of
the orientation lines
displayed. The width
represented by the lines diminishes with ve-
hicle load. Pay special attention to the vehi-
cle's surroundings when the inside of the ve-
hicle of the luggage compartment is carrying
a heavy load.
● In the following situations, the objects or
other vehic
les shown in the navigation sys-
tem display appear to be further away or
closer than they really are: Pay special atten-
tion:
– On moving from a horizontal plane to a
slope.
– On moving from a slope to a horizontal
plane.
– If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the
rear.
– When the vehicle approaches objects
that are not on the ground surface or are
jutting out from it. These objects may al- so be outside the camera's angle of vi-
sion when r
ev

ersing. Note
● It is

important to take great care and pay
special attention if you are not yet familiar
with the system.
● Rear assist will not be available if the vehi-
cle's
rear lid is open. Instructions for use
