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 3 96 or,
depending on the version, on the
Colour-Info-Display 3 100 , supported
by acoustic signals.
The driver must control acceleration,
braking and gear shifting, while
steering is done automatically.
Advanced parking assist is always
combined with front-rear parking assist. Both systems use the same
sensors in the front and rear bumper.

166Driving and operatingSelect parallel or perpendicular
parking slot in Driver Information
Centre by pressing SET/CLR.
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
signal indicator on the driver side.
When a slot is detected, visual
feedback in the Driver Information
Centre and an acoustic signal is
given.
Indication in the Colour-Info-Display
Select parallel or perpendicular
parking slot by tapping the respective icon on the display.
Select parking side by tapping the
respective icon on the display.
When a slot is detected, a visual
feedback on the Colour-Info-Display

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 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.

Driving and operating167Always pay attention to the sound ofthe front-rear parking assist.
Continuous sound indicates that the
distance to an obstacle is less than
approx. 30 cm.
