Activation
The activation of the system is initiated when the reverse gear is engaged, or
vehicles with the Variant 2 and 3 , also by pressing the symbol key
 » Fig. 180
.
This is confirmed by a short acoustic signal ( the symbol  in the button is lit).
Deactivation
On vehicles with Version 1, the system can be deactivated by moving out of re-
verse gear.
For vehicles with the variants 2 and 3 the system is automatically deactivated
by pressing the symbol key or at a speed over 15 km/h (the symbol
in the
button goes out).

Warning - vehicles with parking aid
You will hear a continuous tone and the following appears » Fig. 182 in the In-
fotainment display.
The warning is indicated in the following two levels. An oncoming vehicle is detected. Do not continue driving backwards and
check around the vehicle.
A vehicle in the collision region is detected. Do not continue driving back-
wards 

Warning - vehicles without parking sensors
An acoustic signal sounds and the following message appears in the instru-
ment cluster display.Caution: check rear traffic!
Automatic emergency braking
If the driver does not react to the warning and the system detects an impend-
ing collision, then this can trigger an automatic braking at a speed up to 10
km / h.
The following message is shown in the instrument cluster display.
Emergency braking complete. Please take over.
Radar sensors
The radar sensors (following known as sensors) are located under the rear
bumper » Fig. 182 and are not visible from the outside.
WARNING■
If there is an impact, or the rear of the vehicle is damage the sensor may
be damaged or misaligned. This can lead to impaired function of the sensor
- risk of accidents! Have the vehicle checked by a specialist garage.■
The area in front and around the sensor should not be obscured by any
objects. This could lead to impairment of the system function. ■Remove snow, ice and such obstacles from the area in front of and
around the sensor.
CAUTION
■ In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures etc.), the system function may be limited - “incorrect recognition
of obstacle”.■
Accessories fitted to the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers, can impair the
system function.

The rear view camera (following as system) helps the driver when parking and
manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle in the Infotainment dis-
play (following as display).
There are four modes available for different situations during the park and ma-
noeuvring action.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 142, in section Introduction .■
The system detects obstacles. The display of the auxiliary boxes and lines
is independent of the actual vehicle environment. The driver must judge for
themselves whether the vehicle can park safely in the selected parking
space.
■
Make sure that the camera lens is not dirty or covered, otherwise the sys-
tem function can be significantly impaired. Information on cleaning
» page 197 , Camera lens
CAUTION
■
The camera lens distorts and enlarges the field of view of the difference in
eye sight. The display is therefore only of limited use for estimating distances
to following vehicles.■
Some items, such as thin columns, chain link fences or lattice may not be
represented adequately in terms of display resolution. 

■It is only a two-dimensional display. Therefore, protruding objects or roadway
depressions, for example, may not be recognised due to lack of space depth.■
In a crash or damage the vehicle's rear camera can possibly deviate from the
correct position. If this is the case, have the sensor checked by a specialist ga-
rage.

Park Assist (following referred to system) helps drivers park in suitable parallel
and perpendicular parking places or also to manoeuvre out of parallel parking
spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements when parking or leaving a
parking space. The driver operates the pedals and the shift lever or gear selec-
tor.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The Park Assist is an extension of the parking aid » page 147 and operates on
the basis of data collected by the ultrasonic sensors.
For this reason, the chapter on the parking aid is to be read carefully and the safety notes are to be observed. 
155Assist systems

WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 142, in section Introduction .■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road. It is therefore recommen-
ded that you do not use the system in such situations.
CAUTION
The correct evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure de-
pends on the circumference of the wheels on the vehicle.■
The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size
approved by the manufacturer.
■
Abstain from using the system when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or
a temporary spare wheel.
■
If wheels other than those approved by the manufacturer are mounted, the
resulting position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This
can be avoided by readjusting the system at a specialist garage.
CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind the kerb or on it, the system can also guide
your vehicle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the wheel
rims of your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
Note
■ We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km / h.■The driver can stop the parking process at any time by pressing the symbol
key » Fig. 191
on page 156 or by a driver steering intervention.FunctioningFig. 191
System button
Read and observe and on page 156 first.
The system support is provided in the following manner.
▶ While the parking space search is going on, a measurement and evaluation of
the parking space size is completed.
▶ The display of the instrument cluster (hereinafter only display) shows suita-
ble parking spaces and a parking mode is recommended.
▶ The display shows instructions and information before the start and during
the parking.
▶ The road way is calculated that the vehicle uses during the parking.
▶ The front wheels are automatically rotated during the parking.
Conditions for the system function
The system can look for a parking space only if the following basic conditions
are met.
The system is activated.
The vehicle speed is less than 40 km / h (parallel parking).
The vehicle speed is less than 20 km / h (transverse parking).
The distance to a number of parked vehicles is approximately 0.5 - 1.5 m.
The TCS is activated » page 143, Braking and stabilisation systems .
The system can only carry out the parking if the following basic conditions are
met.
The vehicle is travelling less than about 7 km/h.
The parking procedure takes less than 6 minutes.
There is no driver intervention in the automatic steering operation.

Parking space search
Read and observe
and on page 156 first.
The system is able to find a parking space in a number of parallel and trans-
verse parked vehicles on the passenger's or driver's side.
Process with the parking space search
›
Slowly drive past a row of parked vehicles.
›
Activate the system with the symbol key » Fig. 191
on page 156 .
The system will automatically search for a parking space on the passenger
side.
If the system finds a parking space, then the recommended parking mode is
made and this parking space is included in the display » Fig. 193 on page 157
or » Fig. 194 on page 158 -
 .
Activate the turn signal on the driver's side if you wish to look fro a parking
space on this side of the road. The display changes and the system searches
for a parking space on the driver's side.
Note
If the symbol  (km / h) is shown in the display while you are looking for a
parking space, the vehicle speed should be reduced below 40 km / hr (parallel parking) or below 20 km / hr (Transverse parking).
