The park assist system helps the driver by braking
automatically . The automatic braking does not re­
place the driver's responsibility for the accelerator
brake and
clutch ~ £. '
A parking manoeuvre will be interrupted if a speed
of approximately 7 km /h (4 mph) is exceeded .
Automatic brake intervention to avoid
excess speed
An automatic brake intervention may occur to pre­
vent .the
vehicle from exceeding a speed of ap­
proximately 7 km/h (4 mph) . The parking manoeu­
vre can be cont inued after the automatic brake in­
t e rvention .
The automatic br a
ke intervention can take place
once per parking manoeuvre .
216 I While driving
---• The Park Assi~t syste.m will operate only the
steering wheel whrle gettrng out of the parking

The driver operates the accelerator
. ' clutch, gear shaft and brake.
• If it is possible to pull out of the parking space
the Park Assist
system is ended automatically . '
Take
over steering and, if the traffic situation allows
it, pull out of the parking space.
Automatic cancellation for getting out of a
parking space
The Park Assist system will cancel the procedure
of getting out of the parking space if one of the fo l­
lowing happens :
• The vehicle speed when getting out of the park­
ing space is higher than approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph).
• The driver operates the steering wheel.
•
There is a system fault (system is temporarily
unavailable).
• The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate . ~
Automatic brake intervention to minimise
damage
~hen approaching an obstacle, automatic braking
Intervention may occur. The Park Assist system
may bring the vehicle to a standstill before the ob­
stacle under certain conditions , e .g . weather, ultra­
sound detection , conditions of the car, load or in­
cline .

• Always switch cruise control off after use
to avoid unintentional operation.
• lt is dangerous to use a set speed that is

Always switch off the speed limiter after use
to avoid unintentional cruise control.
• The speed limiter does not relieve the
driver of their responsibility for the speed of
the vehicle. Do not drive at full throttle if it is
not required.
• Use of the speed limiter in adverse weath·
er conditions is dangerous and can cause se­
rious injury, e.g. through aquaplaning, snow,
ice, or leaves. Only use the speed limiter
when the road and weather conditions allow
it to be used safely.
• The speed limiter cannot limit the vehicle
speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle
speed can increase under its own weight.
Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using
the foot brake.
