Park assist syst* - forward
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park- ing. An acoustic signal as well as symbols onthe centre console's display screen indicatethe distance to the detected obstacle. The parking assistance system is automati- cally activated when the engine is started -the switch's On/Off lamp is illuminated. Ifparking assistance is switched off with thebutton, the lamp goes out.
The distance covered in front of the car is about 0.8 metres. The acoustic signal forobstacles in front comes from one of the frontloudspeakers. Front park assist is active up to approx. 10 km/h. The lamp in the button isilluminated in order to indicate that the sys-tem is activated. When the speed is below10 km/h the system is reactivated.
NOTE
Front parking assistance is deactivated when the parking brake is applied or
P
mode is selected in a car with an auto-matic gearbox.
IMPORTANT
When auxiliary lamps are fitted: Remember that these must not obscure the sensors -the auxiliary lamps may then be perceivedas an obstacle.

Park assist syst* - fault indication
Parking assistance is used as an aid to park- ing. An acoustic signal as well as symbols onthe centre console's display screen indicatethe distance to the detected obstacle.
If the combined instrument panel'sinformation symbol illuminates withconstant glow and the text message
Park assist syst Service required is shown
then parking assistance is disengaged.
IMPORTANT
In certain conditions the parking assis- tance system may produce incorrect warn-ing signals that are caused by externalsound sources that emit the same ultra-sonic frequencies that the system workswith. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakesand exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

WARNING
PAP does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid. The driver always has the final responsibil- ity for driving the vehicle in a safe mannerand for paying attention to the surround-ings and other road users approaching orpassing during parking.

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - function
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed.
NOTE
The PAP function measures the space and turns the steering wheel - the driver's taskis to follow the combined instrument pan-el's instructions and select the gear(reverse/forward), control the speed, brakeand stop.
PAP can be activated if the following criteria are met once the engine has been started:
• The functions DSTC or ABS must not intervene while the PAP function is ena-bled - these can be activated due to asteep or slippery surface, for example;see the sections on Foot brake and Sta-bility and traction control system for moreinformation.
• A trailer must not be connected to thecar.
• The speed must be below 50 km/h.
Principle for PAP.
The PAP function parks the car using the fol- lowing steps:
1. The function searches for a parking space and measures it (A & B) - during measure- ment the speed must notexceed 30 km/h.
2. The car is steered into the space while reversing (C & D).
3. The car is straightened up in the space by driving back and forth (E & F ).

Park Assist Pilot (PAP)* - limitations
The Park Assist Pilot (PAP – Park Assist Pilot) helps the driver to park by first checkingwhether a space is sufficiently large and thenturning the steering wheel and steering thecar into the space. The combined instrumentpanel uses symbols, graphics and text toshow when different operations should beperformed. The PAP sequence is stopped:
• if the car is driven too quickly - above 7 km/h
• if the driver touches the steering wheel
• if the ABS or DSTC function is enabled -e.g. if a wheel loses grip on a slipperyroad surface.
A text message indicates why the PAP sequence was stopped.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors will reduce their function and may preventmeasurement.
IMPORTANT
Under certain circumstances, PAP is unable to find parking spaces - one reasonfor this may be the fact that there is inter-ference with the sensors from externalsound sources which emit the same ultra-sound frequencies as those with which thesystem works. Examples of such sources include horns, wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakesand exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.
To bear in mindThe driver should bear in mind that the Park Assist Pilot is an aid - not an infallible, fully-automatic function. The driver must thereforebe prepared to intervene. There are also sev-eral details to bear in mind while parking, e.g.:
• PAP starts out from the current location of the parked vehicles - if they are inap-propriately parked then the car's tyresand wheel rims may be damaged againstkerbs.
• PAP is designed for parking on straightstreets - not sharp bends or turns in theroad. For this reason, make sure the caris parallel to the parking space when PAPmeasures the space.
• It is not always possible to find parkingspaces on narrow streets since there isnot enough space for manoeuvring. Insuch parking situations, it helps the sys- tem to drive as close to the side of theroad as possible where you intend topark.
• Bear in mind that the front of the car mayswing out towards oncoming traffic whilebeing parked.
• Objects situated higher than the detectionarea of the sensors are not included whencalculations are made for the parkingmanoeuvre. This may cause PAP toswing into the parking space too early -for this reason, such parking spacesshould be avoided.
• The driver is responsible for determiningwhether the space selected by PAP issuitable for parking.
• Use approved tyres 24
with the correct tyre
pressure - this affects PAP's ability topark the car.
• Heavy rain or snow may cause the sys-tem to measure the parking space incor-rectly.
• Do not use PAP if snow chains or the
spare wheel are fitted.
• Do not use PAP if loaded objects are pro-truding from the car.
24
"Approved tyres" refers to tyres of the same type and make as those fitted new on delivery from the factory.

Automatic gearbox -- Geartronic*
The Geartronic gearbox has two different gear modes - Automatic and Manual.
D : Automatic gear positions. +/–: Manual gear
positions. S8
: Sport mode*.
Combined instrument panel (p. 59) shows the position of the gear selector using the follow- ing indications:
P, R, N, D, S*, 1, 2, 3 etc.
Gear positionsAutomatic gear positions are indicated on the right of thecombined instrument panel.(Only one marker is illumi-nated at a time - the oneshowing the current gearselector position.)
Symbol " S" for Sport mode is ORANGE when
the mode is active.
Parking position - PSelect position P when starting the engine or
when the car is parked.
• In order to be able to move the gear selector from
P-position, the brake pedal
must first be depressed firmly.
The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the P position is engaged. Also apply the
parking brake (p. 293), as a precaution.
NOTE
The gear selector must be in P position to
allow the car to be locked and alarmed.
IMPORTANT
The car must be stationary when posi- tion P is selected.
WARNING
Always apply the parking brake when parking on a slope - the automatic trans-mission's P position is not sufficient to
hold the car in all situation.
Reverse position - RThe car must be stationary when R position is
selected.
Neutral position - NNo gear is engaged and the engine can be started. Apply the parking brake if the car isstationary with the gear selector in N position.
Drive position - DD is the normal driving position. Shifting up
and down takes place automatically based onthe level of acceleration and speed. The carmust be stationary when the gear selector ismoved to D position from R position.
Geartronic – Manual gear positions (+S-)
The driver can also change gear manually using the Geartronic automatic gearbox. Thecar engine-brakes when the accelerator pedalis released.
The manual gear position is reachedby moving the lever to the side fromposition D to the end position at
" +S- ". The combined instrument
panel's symbol " +S-" changes colour from
WHITE to ORANGE and the digits
1, 2, 3 etc.
are displayed in a box, corresponding to the gear that has just been selected.
• Move the lever forwards towards "
+"
(plus) to change up a gear and release the lever, which returns to its rest positionbetween + and –.

Geartronic - Sport mode* (S) 9The Sport programme provides sportier characteristics and allowshigher engine speed for the gears.At the same time it responds more
quickly to acceleration. During active driving,the use of a lower gear is prioritised, leadingto a delayed upshift.
To activate Sport mode: • Move the gear selector to the side from
D
position to the end position at " +S–" - the
combined instrument panel changes indi- cation from
D to S.
Sport mode can be selected at any time while driving.
Geartronic - Winter modeIt can be easier to pull away on slippery roadsif 3rd gear is engaged manually.
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector from D position to the end
position at " +S–" - the combined instru-
ment panel changes indication from
D to
the figure
110 .
2. Scroll up to gear 3 by pushing the lever forward towards " +" (plus) twice - the dis-
play shifts the indication from
1 to 3.
3. Release the brake and accelerate care- fully. The gearbox "winter mode" means that the car moves off with a lower engine speed andreduced engine power on the drive wheels.
Kick-downWhen the accelerator pedal is pressed all theway to the floor (beyond the position normallyregarded as full acceleration) a lower gear isimmediately engaged. This is known as kick-down. If the accelerator is released from the kick- down position, the gearbox automaticallychanges up. Kick-down is used when maximum accelera- tion is needed, such as for overtaking. Safety function To prevent overrevving the engine, the gear- box control program has a protective down-shift inhibitor which prevents the kick-downfunction. Geartronic does not permit downshifting/ kick-down which would result in an enginespeed high enough to damage the engine.Nothing happens if the driver still tries to shiftdown in this way at high engine speed – theoriginal gear remains engaged. When kick-down is activated the car can change one or more gears at a time depend-ing on engine speed. The car changes up when the engine reaches its maximum speedin order to prevent damage to the engine.

Automatic gearbox -- Powershift*
An automatic gearbox with Powershift differs from an automatic gearbox with Geartronic (p.273), in that it has double mechanical clutchdiscs.
D : Automatic gear positions. +S–: Manual gear
positions. S: Sport mode*.
The Powershift automatic gearbox transmits the motive force from the engine to the drivewheels with double mechanical clutch discs,as opposed to Geartronic which instead usesa hydraulic torque converter. Powershift transmission operates in the same way and has similar controls and functions asthe Geartronic automatic transmission. Oneexception is Geartronic's Winter mode, seethe section "Geartronic - Winter mode" (p. 273). Powershift enables driving away on aslippery road surface if 2nd gear is engagedmanually instead of 3rd gear (Geartronic).
Powershift or GeartronicThe model with Powershift transmissionshould not be towed as it is dependent on theengine running in order to receive sufficientlubrication. If towing still has to take place,the route must be as short as possible andthen with very low speed. In the event of uncertainty as to whether or not the car is equipped with Powershift trans-mission, this can be verified by checking thedesignation on the gearbox label under thebonnet - see Type designations (p. 386). Thedesignation ”MPS6” means that it isPowershift transmission - otherwise it isGeartronic automatic transmission.
To bear in mindThe transmission's double clutch has over-load protection that is activated if it becomestoo hot, e.g. if the car is held stationary withthe accelerator pedal on an uphill gradient fora long time. Overheated transmission causes the car to shake and vibrate, and the warning symbolilluminates and the combined instrumentpanel shows a message. The transmissioncan also overheat during slow driving inqueues (10 km/h or slower) on an uphill gradi-ent, or with a trailer hitched. The transmissioncools down when the car is stationary, withfoot brake depressed and the engine runningat idling speed. Overheating during slow driving in queues can be avoided by driving in stages:
• Stop the car and wait with your foot on the brake pedal until there is a moderatedistance to the traffic ahead, drive for-ward a short distance, and then waitanother moment with your foot on thebrake pedal.
IMPORTANT
Use the foot brake to hold the car station- ary on an uphill gradient - do not hold thecar with the accelerator pedal. The gear-box could then overheat.
For important information regarding Power- shift transmission and towing, see Towing (p.313).
Text message and actionIn some situations the combined instrumentpanel may show a text message at the sametime as a symbol is illuminated.
