Driver assistance systems
Automatic braking intervention by
P ark
As
sist Park Assist helps the driver by automatically
brak
in

g in certain situations.
The driver is always responsible for braking
in time ››› .
Autom 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 ped

al.
Automatic braking intervention to reduce
damage leads to the parking manoeuvre fin-
ishing. WARNING
The automatic braking intervention by Park
Ass i

st 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
limitations
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
after ap
proximately 1.5 seconds. Following
this, brake the vehicle yourself. Parking System Plus (ParkPi-

cription Fig. 223
Represented area. During parking, P
ark
in
g 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 287.
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 »

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.

● The tr ai
l
er weight, as well as the gross com-
bination weight of the towing vehicle and
trailer, change the centre of gravity and the
properties of the vehicle.
● If the towing vehicle is empty and the trail-
er is lo
aded, then the load distribution is in-
correct. Under these conditions, drive slowly
and with extra caution.
Hill starts with a trailer
Depending on the slope of the hill and the
combination weight of the towing vehicle
and trailer, the vehicle might start rolling
backwards slightly when you first start up.
For hill-starting with a trailer, do the follow-
ing:
● Press and hold the brake pedal.
● Press the  button t
o disconnect the elec-
tronic parking brake ››› page 186.

● Driving with a trailer and transporting
heavy or l
arge objects will change the vehicle
handling and braking distances.
● Always drive cautiously and carefully.
Brake e
arlier than usual.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. Slow down, especially when
driving down hills or slopes.
● Accelerate with particular care and caution.
Avoid s
udden braking and manoeuvres.
● Take great care when overtaking. Reduce
speed immediat
ely if you notice that the trail-
er is swaying, however slightly.
● Never attempt to “straighten” the towing
vehicl
e and trailer while accelerating.
● Take into account the speed limit for vehi-
cle
s with a trailer, as it could be lower than
for vehicles without a trailer. Stabilisation of the towing vehicle
and tr
ai
l

er The stabilisation of the towing vehicle and
trai
l

er together is an additional function of
the electronic stability control (ESC).
If the system detects that the trailer is sway-
ing, it intervenes automatically with the driv-
er steering recommendation to reduce the
swaying of the trailer.
Requirements for the stabilisation of the
towing vehicle and trailer
● The vehicle is factory-equipped with a tow-
ing br ac

ket or has been retro-fitted with a
compatible towing bracket.

lamp  or  is

not lit up on the instrument
panel.
● The trailer is electrically connected to the
tow
ing vehicle through the trailer power
socket.
● The vehicle is travelling at over 60 km/h
(appro
x. 37 mph).
● The maximum vertical load technically per-
miss
ible is being utilised on the coupling de-
vice.
● The trailer has a rigid draw bar.
● If the trailer has brakes, it must be equip-

Automatic car washes
B ef
or
e going through a car wash, be sure to
take the usual precautions such as closing
the windows and roof. If the vehicle has spe-
cial accessories such as spoilers or a roof
rack, it is advisable to consult the car wash
tunnel operator.
It is best to use a car wash without revolving
bristles if possible.
Washing the vehicle with a high pressure
cleaner
When washing the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This applies
particularly to the operating pressure and the
spraying distance. Do not hold the nozzle too
close to soft materials such as rubber hoses
or seals. The same applies for the parking aid
sensors*, which are located in the rear
and/or front bumper.
Do not use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a direct stream or one that has a rotating
jet for forcing off dirt.
Factory-fitted adhesive sheets
The following indications should be taken in-
to account to avoid damaging adhesive
sheets:
● Do not use high pressure cleaners. ●
Do not use s crapers to remove ice or snow
from the sheets.
● Do not polish the adhesive sheets.
● Do not use dirty cloths or sponges.
● It is preferable to wash them with a soft
spong
e and gentle neutral soap.
Washing the car by hand
When washing the car by hand, use plenty of
water to soften the dirt first, and rinse off as
well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a soft sponge,
glove or brush using only slight pressure.
You should start on the roof and work down.
Special car soap should only be used for very
persistent dirt.
Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and of-
ten.
Wheels, sills and similar should be cleaned
last. Use a second sponge for this. WARNING
● The v ehic

le should only be washed with the
ignition switched off. Failure to follow this in-
struction could result in an accident.
● Do not clean the underside of chassis, the
inside of
wheel arches or wheel trims without
protecting your hands and arms. You may cut
yourself on sharp-edged metal parts. Other-
wise, there is a risk of sustaining cuts. ●
When wa shin

g the car during the winter
season: water and ice in the brake system
can reduce braking effectiveness: risk of acci-
dent! CAUTION
● Do not wa

sh the vehicle in direct sunlight –
otherwise the paint can be damaged.
● Do not use sponges, abrasive household
spong
es or similar to clean insect remains.
This could damage the surface.
● Clean off stubborn dirt (insects, etc.) from
the headlight
s at regular intervals, for in-
stance when filling the fuel tank. The head-
lights should only be washed with water, do
not wipe them with a dry cloth or sponge. It
is best to use soapy water.
● Never wash tyres with a jet that sprays the
water out
in a direct stream. This could dam-
age the tyres even if the spray is kept at a
distance and only used for a very short time.
● Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wa
sh, please make sure to retract the ex-
terior mirrors to prevent them from being
damaged. Electrically retractable exterior
mirrors must not be folded in or out by hand,
always use the electrical power control. CAUTION
● Bef or

e washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please proceed as follows to lock
the wiper arms so that they are not moved to-
wards the top of the windscreen: 286
