Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
The front-rear parking assist
measures the distance between the
vehicle and obstacles in front and
behind the vehicle. The system gives acoustic signals and display
messages.
The system has six ultrasonic parking
sensors each in the rear and front
bumper.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.
Front-rear parking assist is always
combined with advanced parking
assist, see Advanced parking assist
section below.

The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
1.5 metres and in front up to
1.2 metres . Depending on which side
of the vehicle is closer to an obstacle,
you will hear acoustic warning signals in the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally the distance to obstacles
is shown in the Driver Information Centre 3 87 or, depending on the
version, on the Colour-Info-Display 3 91.

Vehicle messages 3 93.Advanced parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for accepting the
parking slot suggested by the
system and the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the sourrounding
area in all directions when using
advanced parking assist.
The advanced parking assist
measures a suitable parking slot
while passing, calculates the
trajectory and automatically steers
the vehicle into a parallel or
perpendicular parking slot.
Instructions are given by the Driver
Information Centre or the Colour-Info-
Display supported by acoustic
signals. The driver must control
acceleration, braking and gear
shifting, while steering is done
automatically.
Advanced parking assist can only be
activated when driving forwards.

138Driving and operating
The system can only be activated at
a speed up to 18 mph and the system searches for a parking slot at a speed
up to 18 mph.
The maximum allowed parallel
distance between the vehicle and a
row of parked cars is 1.8 metres for
parallel parking and 2.5 metres for
perpendicular parking.
Functionality
Illustrations show the indications in
Driver Information Centre and Colour-
Info-Display.Parking slot searching mode
Select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot on Driver Information
Centre by pressing the SET/CLR
button or on Colour-Info Display tap
icon 6 or 7.
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback in the Driver Information
Centre or Colour-Info-Display and an
acoustic signal is given.

Driving and operating139
If the driver does not stop the vehicle
within 10 metres for parallel parking
slots or 6 metres for perpendicular
parking slots after a parking slot is
proposed, the system starts to search
for another suitable parking slot.Parking guiding mode
The parking slot suggestion of the system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres for parallel parking slots or
6 metres for perpendicular parking slots after the Stop message is given.
The system calculates the optimal
path into the parking slot.A brief vibration in the steering wheel
after engaging reverse gear indicates
that the steering is controlled by the
system. Then the vehicle is steered
into the slot automatically by giving
the driver detailed instructions for
braking, accelerating and gear
shifting. The driver must keep hands
away from the steering wheel.
Pay always attention on the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm.
If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the
steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in thisevent.Display indication
The instructions in the display show:
■ general hints and warning messages
■ a hint when driving faster than 18 mph during parking slot
searching mode, or 5 mph in
guiding mode,■ the demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected,
■ the direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre,
■ the demand to shift rearwards or forwards,
■ the demand to accelerate or brake,
■ for some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the DriverInformation Centre,
■ the successful parking indicated by

Driving and operating143Side blind spot alertThe Side blind spot alert system
detects and reports objects on either
side of the vehicle, within a specified
"blind spot" zone. The system alerts
visually in each exterior mirror, when
detecting objects that may not be
visible in the interior and exterior
mirrors.
Side blind spot alert uses some of the
advanced parking assist sensors
which are located in the front and rear bumper on both sides of the vehicle.9 Warning
Side blind spot alert does not
replace driver vision.
The system does not detect: ■ Vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly
approaching.
■ Pedestrians, cyclists or animals.
Before changing a lane, always
check all mirrors, look over the
shoulder and use the turn signal.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving
forward, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, an amber warning symbol B will light up in the
relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the
warning symbol B starts flashing
amber as a warning not to change
lanes.
Side blind spot alert is active from
speeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph.
Driving faster than 87 mph deactives
the system, indicated by low lighting warning symbols B in both exterior
mirrors. Reducing the speed again
will extinguish the warning symbols. If a vehicle is then detected in the blindzone, the warning symbols B will
illuminate as normal on the relevant
side.
When the vehicle is started, both
exterior mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system is
operating.
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the Info-Display,
vehicle personalisation 3 98.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
Detection zonesThe detection zones start at the rear
bumper and extend approx.
3 metres rearwards and to the sides. The height of the zone is approx.
between 0.5 metres and 2 metres off
the ground.
Side blind spot alert is designed to ignore stationary objects, e.g.
guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and
beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming
vehicles are not detected.
