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.

NOTICE
Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerbs and other objects as guidance. Make sure that the tyres
and wheel rims are not damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessary, stop the parking procedure
in good time to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Prerequisites
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The following prerequisites must be met for driving into and out of parking spaces:
The traction control system (TCS) must be switched on Brake support systems
Distance: maintain a distance of 0.5 2.0 metres when driving past the parking space.
The parking space must have at least the dimensions required by Park Assist.
Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces parallel to the road): not above
40 km/h (25 mph).
Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces perpendicular to the road): not above
20 km/h (12 mph).
Maximum speed: 7 km/h (4 mph). An automatic braking intervention can take place when driving
into a parking space.
No trailer is connected electrically with the factory-fitted towing bracket Notes on towing a
trailer
The parking manoeuvre can be continued after the automatic brake intervention.
The automatic braking intervention takes place a maximum of once per parking manoeuvre. The
parking manoeuvre will be cancelled if a speed of approximately 7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again.

WARNING
Do not let the automatic braking intervention triggered by Park Assist tempt you to take any risks
while driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Park Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, automatic braking intervention may
function only in a limited way or not at all.
You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Depress the brake
pedal of the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.
Looking for a parking space

Driving into a parking space
If you want Park Assist to search for a parking space on the opposite side of the road, operate the
turn signal for the corresponding side.
Changing parking mode
If Park Assist has found other alternative parking modes, these will be displayed in a miniature view.
They can be selected in turn by repeatedly pressing the button. Park Assist will switch itself off
after selection of all found parking modes. The originally recommended parking mode is offered
when the button is pressed again.
If you wish to park in a perpendicular parking space in forward direction, select Forward
perpendicular parking Fig. 130. Otherwise the vehicle will reverse into the perpendicular
parking space.

Park Assist can be activated retrospectively. If the vehicle has previously driven past a suitable
parking space, it will be displayed.

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.

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.

In some countries, Park Assist can assist the driver with an automatic braking intervention in certain
situations
Depending on the vehicle equipment and certain conditions, e.g. weather, load or inclination of the
vehicle, Park Assist can automatically brake the vehicle before an obstacle. Following this
intervention, the driver must depress the brake pedal.
The parking manoeuvre is ended if an automatic braking intervention occurs.

Critical situation. Do not drive on!Possible critical situation.
Detection of a critical situation can also take place acoustically:
A warning signal will sound and a text message will be displayed in the instrument cluster for
vehicles without Park Distance Control.
In vehicles with Park Distance Control, an acoustic signal will sound with the continuous tone of Park
Distance Control. If the Park Distance Control is deactivated, no warning can be given to the driver
and the Rear Traffic Alert system will also be switched off temporarily.
If there is a system fault in the scanned area, the indicator lamp will light up yellow on the
instrument cluster display.
Automatic braking intervention to minimise damage
If Rear Traffic Alert detects an approaching road user and the driver has not pressed the brake, the
system can brake automatically.
Automatic braking intervention is activated when reversing at speeds of between 1 km/h (1
mph). The vehicle is held stationary for up to two seconds after vehicle standstill has been
detected.
After automatic braking intervention is activated to prevent damage to the vehicle, the system
requires approximately ten seconds before it can activate another automatic braking intervention.
Automatic braking intervention can be interrupted by pressing the accelerator or brake pedal
sharply and taking control of the vehicle.
Automatic deactivation
Rear Traffic Alert is deactivated automatically and cannot be switched on if the factory-fitted towing
bracket is electrically connected to a trailer or similar Notes on towing a trailer
electrically connected to the vehicle and the driver pulls away, a text message appears in the
instrument cluster display to inform the driver that Rear Traffic Alert has been deactivated. Rear
Traffic Alert will be automatically activated again when the trailer has been unhitched from the
vehicle. This applies if the functions were previously activated. Rear Traffic Alert must be switched
off manually for trailer towing if a non-factory-fitted towing bracket is used.

WARNING
The intelligent Rear Traffic Alert technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only
within the limits of the system. Do not let the assistance function of Rear Traffic Alert tempt you to
take any safety risks while driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.

The breakdown set can be used to temporarily and reliably seal any tyre damage caused by foreign
bodies or punctures (up to approx. 4 mm in diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or
nails) from the tyre!
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked and adjusted again
after approximately 10 minutes of driving.
Seek expert assistance if more than one of the vehicle's tyres is damaged. The breakdown set is
designed to fill only one tyre.
Only use the breakdown set when the vehicle has been safely parked and you are familiar with the
work and safety precautions needed. Seek expert assistance if this is not the case.
