Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must be increased. This will be achieved by an idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears on the Uplevel-
Display.
Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.

Parking assist
General information
When the trailer hitch is attached,
change the configuration settings in
the vehicle personalisation menu in
the Info-Display. Vehicle
personalisation 3 100.
When attaching a trailer or bike
carrier to the trailer hitch, the parking
assist is deactivated.Rear parking assist9 Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using the rear parking assist system.
The rear parking assist makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
rear obstacles. It informs and warns
the driver via acoustic and visual
signals.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is ready to operate
automatically.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r indicates that the
system is ready to operate.
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
1.5 metres. The interval between the
sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to that obstacle.
When the distance is less than
approximately 30 cm, the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear
obstacles is displayed by changing
distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre with Uplevel
display 3 90 or, depending on the
version, on the Colour-Info-Display
3 95.
