Interrupting or automatically stopping the
parking procedure
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

• Always switch cruise control off after use
to avoid unintentional operation.
• lt is dangerous to use a set speed that is
too high for the prevailing road, traffic or

The area monitoring system (Front Assist) helps to
avoid rear-end collisions.
lt uses a radar sensor to monitor traffic situations
up to a distance of approximately 120 metres in
front of the vehicle within a speed range of approx­
i
mately 5 km/h (3 mph) to 210 km/h (130 mph) .
The area monitoring system (Front Assist) can
warn the driver about imminent collisions, pre­
pare the vehicle for emergency braking in case
of danger, assist with braking, and initiate auto­
matic braking.

information and warnings:

Distance warning
If the system detects danger from driving too close
to.the vehicle in front , the system can warn the
~nver by showing a corresponding message in the
~nstrument cluster display ~page 236. The warn­
Ing Period varies according to the traffic situation
a
nd the driver's response . Front Assist is not a
sub t · · s ltue for the full concentration of the dnver .
Advance warning
h lfth e system detects a potential collision with a ve­ICI · e .e .1n front, the system can warn the driver by 1111tt1ng an acoustic warning and showing a corre-spond· · PI lng message in the instrument clus~er diS-
ay ~Page 236 . The warning period vanes ac- carding
to the
traffic situation and the driver's re­
sponse . Front Assist is not a substitue for the
full
concentration of the driver .
At the
same time it prepares the vehicle for possi­
ble emergency braking ~ ~.
Urgent warning
If the driver fails to respond to the advance warn­
ing, the system can initiate a quick jolt of the brake
in order to draw the driver's attention to the
in­
creasing danger of a collision.
Automatic braking
If the driver also fails to react to the urgent warn­
ing, the system can slow the vehicle down auto­
matically by gradually increasing the braking force.
The system can help to reduce the consequences
of an accident by reducing the speed at which a
potential collision might take place .
Brake assistance
If Front Assist detects that the driver is not braking
sufficiently when there is a risk
of collision , the sys­
tem can increase the braking force and thereby
help to prevent a collision . Brake assistance works
only
for as long as the brake pedal is pressed
hard.
The intelligent technology used in Front As­
sist cannot overcome the laws of physics.
The driver is always responsible for braking
in time. If Front Assist issues a warning, im­
mediately apply the foot brake to slow the ve­
hicle down or avoid the obstacle, depending
on the traffic situation.
• Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
• Front Assist cannot prevent accidents and
serious injuries on its own.
• Front Assist can issue unnecessary warn­
ings and carry out unwanted braking inter­
ventions in certain complex driving situa­
tions, e.g . at traffic islands.
