Emergency programme
There is a fault in the system if all the displays on
the mstrument clu ste r for the se lector le ve r posi ­
tions have a light background. The automatic gear­
box is running in an emergency programme. The
vehicle can still be driven in the eme rg ency pro­
gramme, but only at reduced speed and not in all
gear s.
In vehicles with a dual clutch gearbox DSG®, y o u
may
no longer be able to select reverse gear.
In all cases the automatic gearbox should be
checke d
by a qualified workshop immediately.
Overheating of the dual clutch gearbox
DSG®
The dual clutch gearbox can overheat when th e
vehicle pulls off re
gularly, travels at a crawl for long
penods, or in s
top and go traffic . Gearbox over- .
heating
is i ndi cate d by the w arning lamp 0 and tn
some cases by a text m essage in the instrument
cluste r d1splay . An acoustic warni ng may also be
heard . Stop the ve hi cle and allow th e gea rbox to
cool down

The vehicle will not move forwards or
backwards even though a gear has been
selected
If the veh1cle w11l not move in the requi red direc­
tio n, the system may have selected the pos1tion m­
correctly Depress the bra e pedal and reselect the

If th e vehicle st1ll does not move tn the requ1red di­
re ction , th ere IS a system fault. Seek expert assis­
tance and have the system checked
• If the display indicates that the gearbox is
overheating for the first time, the vehicle will
have to be parked safely or driven faster than
20 km/h (12 mph) .
• If the text message and acoustic warning
are repeated approximately every 10 seconds,
the vehicle must be parked safely immediately
and the engine switched off. Allow the gearbox
to cool down.
•
In order to prevent damage to the gearbox,
you should not drive on unti l the acousti c
warning stops. You should not pull away or
drive the vehicle at very low speeds while the

The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking . If the vehicle is approaching an obsta­
cle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors ,
an intermittent acoustic warning is sounded , de­
pending on the distance . The shorter the distance ,
the shorter the intervals . The acoustic warning will
sound continuously if the obstacle is very close .
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound waves. The system uses
the time difference between the ultrason ic waves
(i.e. between the transmission and reflection from
obstacles and the point of reception) to continu­
ously calculate the distance between the bumper
and the obstacle.

A WARNING
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen­
tration of the driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec­
ted '--.
A WARNING (Continued) ~-
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound
sensors. The system is unable to detect
these objects or people wearing this type of
clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly.
• External sources of sound can affect the
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain
circumstances, the system may not recog­
nise people or objects.
A WARNING ~-.
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc­
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate
driving style can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
• Always bear in mind the time delay be­
tween the signals.
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or
opening tailgates. This can result in damage to
your vehicle.
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered.
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam­
age if the warning given by the ParkPilot is ig­
nored.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g.
when parking.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers
must be kept clean and free of ice and snow
and not be covered up by stickers or other
items, as these may prevent the system from
working properly.

..._A W ARN ING
D o not le t the extra convenience afforded by
the Park Assist system tempt you into taking
any risks when driving-this can cause acci­
dents. The system is not a substitute for the
full concentration of the driver.
• Un intentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
A WARNING (Continuec;f) -
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• The surface of certain objects, including
clothing, as well as external noise sources do
not reflect the signals from the Park Assist
system or the parking distance warning sen­
sors or can cause the system to fail to detect
objects or persons.
• Sensors have blind spots in which obsta­
cles and people cannot be detected.
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the sensors will not always detect in­
fants, animals and objects.
..
A WARNING .. p k
When driving into or out of a parking space
using the Park Assist system, the steering
wheel will automatically make quick turning
movements. You could be injured if you at­
tempt to touch the steering wheel spokes.
• The Park Assist system uses parked vehi­
cles, the kerb and other objects as guidance.
Please ensure that the wheels and tyres are not
damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessa­
ry, stop the parking procedure in good time to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
• The sensors may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails,
fences, posts, trees and open or opening tail ­
gates. This can result in damage to your vehi­
cle.
•
If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered. The vehicle can sustain con­
siderable damage if the warning given by the
ParkPilot is ignored. The same applies to the
Park Assist system, for example when parking
behind a lorry o r a motorbike. Therefore, al­
ways check the space in front of and behind
the vehicle and stop the vehicle in good time if
necessary.

The Park Ass is t system will stop the parking proce­
dure if th e following happens :
• The 8 button is pressed.
• The ve hi cle spee d when parking is higher than
app roxim ate ly
7 km /h (4 mph).
• The driver operates the steering wheel.
• The parking procedure was not completed with­
in approximately 6 minutes of activating the auto­
matic stee ring intervention .
• There is a system fault (system is temporarily
un ava ilable) .
•
The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate .
r::l The Park Assist system has system-related
l!J limitations . For example, the Park Assist sys­
t e m cannot help you to park the
vehicle on tight
b e nd s.
r::l Wh en parking parallel to the road , a warning
L!J signal can be heard to tell the driver to switch
between driving forwards and reversing because
the change
of direct ion should not take place in the
permanent tone area
of the ParkPilot.
r::l The progress bar in the instrument cluster
l!J display will symbolically indicate the relative
distance remaining .
W If the Park Assist system turns the steering
l!J wheel when the vehicle is stationary , the 6l
symbol appears as well. Depress the brake pedal
so that the steering movement takes place with the
vehicle stationary, keeping the required number of
parking movements to a minimum.
r::l If the parking result worsens after a wheel is
~ changed, the system will first have to syn­
chronise
itself with the new wheel. The synchroni­
sation procedure is carried out
automatically while
the vehicle is in motion. You can support this proc­
ess by driving slowly (less than 20 km/h (12 mph))
through a bend, e.g. in an empty car park. Driver assist systems 215

Setting the driving programme
In vehicles with Driving Mode Selection , the selec­
t~d driving mode can affect the vehicle 's accelera­
tion response ~page 248.
The following driving modes can be selected :
• Normal
• Sport
• Eco
In v h' . e lcles Without Driving Mode Selection , the ac-
Celeration response can be affected by the driving
rnode s I IT.Dl ~a e ected by pressing the ~ butto.n and _ the
I . nd @nver assistance ) function buttons 1n the 1nfo­a1nrne t n system ~page 31 .
The following conditions can prevent the
adaptive cruise control from reacting:
• If the the acce le rator is depressed.
• If no g ear is selected .
• If the ESC is taking corre ctive action .
• If the driv er h as no t f astened seat belt.
• If there is a fau lt in seve ral brake lights on the
v e hicle or on a traile r with an electrical
connection
to the vehic le .
• If the vehicle is reve rsing .
• If the vehicle is travelling faster than approxi ­
mately 160 km/h (100 mph).
A WARNING
If you close the gap to a vehicle in front and
the difference in speed between the two vehi­
cles is so great that the braking action of the
ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of col­
liding with the vehicle in front. You should re­
duce the vehicle speed immediately with the
foot brake.
• The ACC may not be able to recognise all
driving situations correctly.
• Leaving your foot on the accelerator will
mean that the ACC will not brake automatical­
ly. This is because manual acceleration over­
rides the system.
• You should always be prepared to brake
the vehicle yourself.
• Observe country-specific regulations re­
garding the minimum distance.
rn
The set speed will be deleted if the ig nition or
the ACC is switched off.
rn
The ACC is automatically deactivated when
the tract ion control system (T CS ) is deactiva-
ted .
rn
In vehicles with a start/stop system, the e n ­
g ine is switched off automatical ly during the
stat ionary phase of ACC and is then restarted for
moving off. Driver assist systems 231
