The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate certain functions or
faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.

distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard
warning lights » page 71. Place the warning triangle at the prescribed dis-
tance.

The headlamp assistant (following as system) can prevent the dazzling of oth-
er road users.
The system automatically switches the high beam on / off, if necessary, ad-
justs the beam of the headlights in accordance with the existing traffic (other
vehicles) and environmental conditions (e.g. driving through a lighted village).
The switching on / off of the high beam, if necessary adaptation of the head-
lamp is controlled by a camera » Fig. 59.

▶
Dynamic Light AssistLight Assist
The system automatically switches the high beam on / off.
Dynamic Light Assist
The system automatically adjusts the light cone shape of the headlights in or-

the highest possible illumination of the road edges. 
72Using the system

WARNINGThe increased stopping and starting comfort brought by the system must
not tempt you to take any safety risks.■
The system is not able to stop the vehicle under all circumstances, such
as on icy or otherwise slippery ground, or on gradients.
■
When stopping and parking always make sure that the vehicle is correctly
secured » page 134 , Parking .
CAUTION
In some washing systems it is necessary that the vehicle can roll freely. There-
fore, the system must be deactivated before driving through a car wash.
Note
The system is able to secure the vehicle for about 10 minutes, after which the
vehicle will be automatically secured by the parking brake.

The parking aid (hereinafter referred to as system) draws attention via acous-
tic signals or the Infotainment display when manoeuvring around obstacles in
the vicinity of the vehicle.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 142, in section Introduction .■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. For this reason, such people or
objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
WARNING (Continued)■ External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people not to be recog-
nised by the system.■
Before reversing, you should make sure that there are no small obstacles,
such as rocks, thin posts, trailer draw bars etc. in front or behind your vehi-
cle. Such obstacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
■ Keep the system sensors » Fig. 177 on page 147 clean, snow-and ice-free
and do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system function-
ing may be impaired.■
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
high temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “incorrect recog-
nition of obstacle”.
■
Accessories fitted to the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers, can impair the
system function.

 » 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).

▶ After system activation the symbol  flashes in the button.
▶ In the display of the instrument cluster a message about an error of the
ParkPilot system appears (at the same time there is an audible signal).

If an approaching vehicle is detected from the rear of the vehicle » Fig. 183 the
system warns of this fact.
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.
