The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
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 four 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. The signal
for front obstacles sounds via the
front speakers, for rear obstacles it
sounds from the rear speakers.

Driving and operating201
The distance to a front and rear
obstacle is indicated by changing
distance lines around the vehicle.
Rear obstacles are indicated
acoustically and visually at the same
time.
Front obstacles are indicated visually
first. At distances less than 80 cm an
acoustic signal also sounds.
The distance indication in the DIC can be inhibited by vehicle messages with
a higher priority. After approving the
message by pressing SET/CLR on
the turn signal lever, distance
indication appears again.

Advanced parking assist9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for accepting the parking slot
suggested by the system and the
parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area in all directions when using
advanced parking assist.

Driving and operating203Functionality
When the vehicle passes a row of
cars and the system is activated, the
advanced parking assist system
begins searching for a suitable
parking slot. When a suitable slot is
detected, visual feedback in the
Driver Information Centre and an
acoustic signal are given.
If the driver does not stop the vehicle
within 10 metres after a parking slot is
proposed, the system starts to search for another suitable parking slot.
The parking slot suggestion of the
system is accepted when the vehicle
is stopped by the driver within
10 metres after the "Stop" message is
given. The system calculates the
optimal route into the parking slot.
Then it manoeuvres the driver into the slot by giving detailed instructions.The instructions in the display show:
● A hint when driving faster than 18 mph.
● The demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected.
● The direction of driving during the
parking manoeuvre.
● The steering wheel position during parking.
● For some of the instructions a progress bar is shown.

204Driving and operating
A successful parking manoeuvre is
indicated by the 'End position'
symbol.
Always pay attention to the sound of the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound means that the
distance to an obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm.
Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parking
slots on the driver side, switch on turn
indicator to the driver side for the
duration of searching.
As soon as turn indicator is switched
off, the system searches for parking
slots on the passenger side again.
Display priorities
After activating the advanced parking assist, a message appears in the DIC.
Advanced parking assist indication in
the DIC can be inhibited by vehicle
messages with a higher priority. After approving the message by pressing
SET/CLR on the turn signal lever,
advanced parking assist instructions
appear again and the parking
manoeuvre can be continued.

the DIC.
Fault A message appears in the DIC when: ● There is a fault in the system.● The driver did not successfully complete the parking
manoeuvre.
● The system is not operational.
If an object is detected during parking instructions, Stop is indicated in the
DIC. Removing the object will resume the parking manoeuvre. If the object
is not removed, the system will be
deactivated. Press D for approx.
one second to activate the system
and search for a new parking slot.

Driving and operating205Basic notes on parking assist
systems9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and
correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Notice
The parking assist system can be
activated and deactivated by
changing the settings in the
Info-Display. If a trailer coupling is
attached, it must be selected in the
