General information
9Warning
Forward collision alert is just a
warning system and does not
apply the brakes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
rapidly, it may not provide you
enough time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full
responsibility for the appropriate
following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the
driver is always required while
driving. The driver must always be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes.
System limitations
The system is designed to warn only for vehicles, but may react also onother objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
■ on winding roads
■ when weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow
■ when the sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or
windscreen damage
Following distance
indication
The following distance indication
displays the distance to a preceding
moving vehicle. The front camera in
the windscreen is used to detect the
distance of a vehicle directly ahead in the vehicle's path. It is active at
speeds above 25 mph.
When a preceding vehicle is detected
ahead, the distance is indicated in
seconds, displayed on a page in the
Driver Information Centre 3 95 . Press
MENU on the turn signal lever to
select Vehicle Information
Menu ? and turn the adjuster
wheel to choose following distance
indication page.
The minimum indicated distance is
0.5 seconds.

156Driving and operating
If there is no vehicle ahead or the
vehicle ahead is out of range, two
dashes will be displayed: -.- sec.
Parking assist 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 by giving acoustic signals
and display indication.
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
approx. 30 cm, the sound is
continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear obstacles is displayed by changing
distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 95 or,
depending on the version, on the Colour-Info-Display 3 101.
The distance indication 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.

because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, the LED
in the button flashes for
three seconds and then extinguishes.
Control indicator r illuminates in
the instrument cluster 3 92 or a
message is indicated in the Driver Information Centre.
Front-rear parking assist9 Warning
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. It informs and
warns the driver by giving acoustic
signals and display indication.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.
The system has four ultrasonic
parking sensors each in the rear and front bumper.
If the vehicle is equipped with
advanced parking assist, the system
has six ultrasonic parking sensors
each in both the rear and front
bumper.

158Driving and operating
Vehicles with rear or front-rear
parking assist are equipped with r.
Vehicles with front-rear parking assist
and advanced parking assist are
recognisable by D.
Advanced parking assist, see section
below.
Activation and deactivation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
front and rear parking assist is ready
to operate.
An illuminated LED in the parking
assist button r or D indicates that
the system is ready to operate.
The front parking assist can also be
activated at a speed up to 7 mph with
a brief press of the parking assist
button.
If the r or D is switched on once
within an ignition cycle, the front
parking assist is deactivated at a speed above 7 mph. It will be
reactivated if vehicle speed has not
exceeded 16 mph beforehand. If
vehicle speed has exceeded 16 mph beforehand, front parking assist
remains deactivated when speed
drops below 7 mph.When the system is deactivated, the
LED in the button extinguishes and
Park Assist Off pops-up in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC).
The system is deactivated
automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 16 mph.
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 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 rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 95 or,
depending on the version, on the Colour-Info-Display 3 101.

Driving and operating159
The distance to rear and front
obstacles is displayed by changing

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
the 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 in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 95 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour-Info-Display 3 101 , 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.

Driving and operating161
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.
FunctionalityParking slot searching mode
Vehicles with indication in the Driver
Information Centre
Select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot in Driver Information
Centre (DIC) by pressing SET/CLR.
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) and an acoustic signal is given.
Vehicles with indication on the
Colour-Info-Display
Select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot by tapping the icon 6 or
7 on the Colour-Info-Display.

162Driving and operating
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Colour-Info-Display
and an acoustic signal is given.
If the driver does not stop the vehicle within 10 metres for parallel parking
slots or six metres for perpendicular
parking slots after a parking slot is
proposed, the system starts to search
for another suitable parking slot.
Park 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
six metres for perpendicular parkingslots 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.
Always pay attention to the sound of
the front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates 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.Changing the parking side
The system is configured to detect
parking slots by default on the
passenger side. To detect parkingslots on the driver side, switch on turn
signal indicator on the driver side for
the duration of the search.
As soon as the turn signal indicator is switched off, the system searches for
parking slots on the passenger side again.Display indication
The instructions on 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 into reverse or
first gear.
■ The demand to accelerate or brake.
■ For some of the instructions a progress bar is shown in the DriverInformation Centre (DIC).

perpendicular parking
■ switching off the ignition
Deactivation by the driver or by the system during manoeuvring will beindicated by Parking Deactivated on
the display. Additionally, an acoustic
signal sounds.
Fault
A message appears when:
■ There is a fault in the system.
■ The driver did not successfully complete the parking manoeuvre.
■ The system is not operational.
■ Any of the deactivation reasons described above apply.
If an object is detected during parking
instructions, Stop is indicated on the
display. Removing the object will
resume the parking manoeuvre. If the
object is not removed, the system will
be deactivated. A long press of D
will activate the system and search for a new parking slot.Basic 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

Driving and operating165
When the system detects a vehicle inthe side blind zone while driving
forward, either while passing a
vehicle or being passed, an amber
warning symbol B will illuminate 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
deactivates 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 blind zone, 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 3 106.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
Detection zones
The detection zones start at the rear
bumper and extend approx.
three metres rearwards and to the
sides. The height of the zone is
approx. between 0.5 metres and
two 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.Fault
Occasional missed alerts can occur
under normal circumstances and will
increase in wet conditions.
Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the
rear bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy
rainstorms. Cleaning instructions
