Park Assist
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Prerequisites
Looking for a parking space
Driving into a parking space
Driving out of a parking space
Troubleshooting
Park Assist shows parking spaces which are suitable for parking and assists the driver when driving
into and out of parking spaces.
Park Assist is an extension of Park Distance Control Park Distance Control
Park Assist automatically steers the vehicle. The driver must control the accelerator, gear changes
and brake Safety notes on the parking systems

WARNING
Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted to do so by
the system.
Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.

Park Assist can drive out of parallel parking spaces if the prerequisites for this are met
Prerequisites
Press the button.
Use the turn signal lever to select the direction (left or right) in which you would like to drive out of
the parking space.
Select reverse gear.
Release the steering wheel when the following message is shown: Steer. intervention active.
Monitor vehicle area.
Accelerate carefully.
Brake when an acoustic signal sounds, the display lights up or until the prompt to drive forward
appears on the instrument cluster display.
Depress the brake pedal until Park Assist has finished steering or until the display in the
instrument cluster display will go out.
Repeat reversing and driving forwards until a corresponding message is displayed on the instrument
cluster. A signal tone may also sound.
Take over steering with the steering angle set by Park Assist.
Drive the vehicle out of the parking space when permitted by the traffic situation.

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The system is not responding as expected
The sensors are dirty Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior
impaired by dirt and snow or also residue from cleaning agents or coatings.
The system requirements must be met Prerequisites
The sensors are covered by water.
The vehicle is damaged in the area of the sensors, e.g. caused by parking collisions.
The detection ranges of the sensors are blocked by add-on parts, e.g. bicycle carriers.
Changes have been made to the paintwork in the area of the sensors or structural modifications
have been made, e.g. on the vehicle front end or the running gear.
The ultrasound signal is subject to interference from external noise sources, e.g. rough tarmac
surface or cobblestones.
No sensor visibility, error message, system switches itself off
Park Assist is switched off if a sensor fails.
Clean the sensors or remove stickers or accessories from the sensors and cameras Caring for and
cleaning the vehicle exterior
Check whether any damage is visible.
Possible solution
Switch off the system temporarily.
Check whether any of the causes described apply.
You can switch the system back on again once you have rectified the cause of the problem.
If the system still fails to respond as expected, have the system checked by a qualified workshop.
Automatic cancellation of driving in/out of a parking space
Park Assist cancels parking or driving out of a parking space in the following situations:
The button is pressed.
The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
The driver door is opened.
The parking operation is not completed within around six minutes.
There is a system fault.
TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.

busy roads or across several lanes.
Always pay attention to the area around the vehicle, since cyclists and pedestrians are often not
reliably detected, for example.
The Rear Traffic Alert will not always independently bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
Brake support systems
Information on brake support systems
The vehicle is fitted with brake support systems. The systems can support the driver in critical driving
or braking situations. Brake support systems cannot overcome the limits of physics and cannot
always keep the vehicle under control in every single critical driving or braking situation. The driver is
responsible for driving safety
Driving with brake support systems
The brake support systems work when the engine is running. They do not need to be operated
separately.
The brake pedal may pulsate or noises may occur while the brake support systems are regulating.
Continue to apply the necessary amount of brake pressure. Apply the necessary pressure to the
brake pedal consistently. If necessary, steer the vehicle while the brake pedal is depressed.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC helps to reduce the risk of skidding and to improve driving stability in certain driving situations

ESC is always switched on.
Traction control system (TCS)
The TCS reduces the drive output if wheelspin occurs and adapts the drive output to suit road
surface conditions Troubleshooting
hills.
With some equipment levels, the TCS can be switched off in exceptional circumstances Switching
the TCS on and off
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The anti-lock brake system can prevent the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied up until
the point where the vehicle is nearly stationary and assists the driver in steering the vehicle and
keeping it under control Troubleshooting
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can help to reduce the stopping distance. The brake assist system reinforces
the braking force when the driver depresses the brake pedal quickly in an emergency situation.
If you reduce the pressure on the brake pedal, the brake assist system will switch off the brake
servo.

Trailer stabilisation
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The trailer stabilisation function can detect if an attached trailer is starting to snake and can
countersteer.
Trailer stabilisation is an extension of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
If trailer snaking is detected, the trailer stabilisation function automatically helps to reduce the
snaking motion of the trailer using counter steering assistance.
Requirements for trailer stabilisation

Changing the bulbs in the headlights (lights with LED technology)
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
These lamps use LED technology. The LEDs cannot be replaced by customers. If some LEDs fail, this
may be an indication that more elements are on the point of failure. In this case, have the lights
checked and renewed if necessary at a qualified workshop.
Changing the front turn signal bulbs

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The actions should only be carried out in the specified order:
Observe and follow the instructions in the checklist Checklist Information on changing
bulbs
Turn the steering so that the wheel on the affected side of the vehicle is pointing to the
middle of the vehicle. If necessary, start the engine to do this. Then stop the engine again and
remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock.
