the transmission.
A warning message may also appear
in the Driver Information Centre
3 80 in conjunction with a warning
chime.
Continued driving is possible,
provided the vehicle is driven with
care and anticipation.

improve fuel economy.
Hill start assist Z illuminates yellow.Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and extinguishes shortly
after the engine starts.
If the control indicator does not
extinguish after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while driving, there is a
fault in the Hill start assist. Seek the
assistance of a workshop to have the
fault remedied.
The Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) control indicator x may also
illuminate 3 76 in conjunction with
Z .
Depending on model variant, 9 will
illuminate as an alternative if control
indicator Z is not present.
Depending on version, a warning

of ultrasound. Once the source of interference is removed, the system
will operate normally.
Have the cause of the fault in the
system remedied by a workshop.

118Driving and operating
Reduce speedWith cruise control active, push lever
downwards ( -) or briefly push lever
downwards ( -) repeatedly; speed
decreases continuously or in small
increments.
Deactivation
Automatic deactivation:
■ vehicle speed below approx. 20 mph,
■ the brake pedal is depressed,
■ the clutch pedal is depressed,
■ the traction control system/Anti-Slip
Regulator (ASR) or Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) is
operating.
Resume stored speed Press button = at a speed above
20 mph. The stored speed will be
obtained.Switching off
Turn end of lever to the OFF position;
control indicator m extinguishes. The
stored speed is deleted. Switching off the ignition also deletes the stored
speed.
Parking assist
The parking assist makes parking
easier by measuring the distance
between the vehicle and obstacles,
and giving acoustic signals. It is the
driver, however, who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Control indicator r 3 76.
System operation
The parking assist is turned on
automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The intervals between the beeps
become shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm, the beeping is a continuous tone which
stops immediately when the distance
is increased.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
r illuminates and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 80.
The following conditions could affect
the system's performance:
■ The ultrasonic sensors are not clean. Keep the bumper free ofmud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
■ The sensors are covered by frost or
ice.

Driving and operating119
■ The rear doors / tailgate are open.
■ An object was hanging out of the rear doors / tailgate during the last
drive cycle. Once the object has been removed, the parking assist
will return to normal operation.
■ An object or cover is attached to the
rear of the vehicle.
■ The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle to a workshop to repair the
system.
■ Other conditions, such as vibrations from a jackhammer, are
affecting system performance.
In the event the system still does not
work properly, seek the assistance of
a workshop.
A warning chime is also sounded
briefly if a fault is present when
reverse gear is engaged 3 86.
Notice
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 80.Important hints for using the
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 has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper. If
such obstacles leave the detection area of the sensors during
approach of the vehicle, a
continuous warning tone will
sound.
Caution
Performance of the sensor can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
systems can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification in the upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross section, like objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist will not avoid a
collision with objects which are out
of the detection range of the
sensors.
Notice
The parking assist system
automatically detects factory-fitted
towing equipment. It is deactivated
when the connector is plugged in.
The sensor may detect a non-
existent object (echo disturbance)
caused by external acoustic or
mechanical disturbances.
