The graphic display will be deactivated as soon as you press a func-

tion selector button on the MMI control console. The graphic

parking system advanced

Applies to vehicles: with parking system advanced

Parking aid (front and rear), with display and

reversing camera

The parking aid gives an acoustic and visual warning if it

detects any obstacles in front of or behind the vehicle. The

reversing camera provides further assistance when

parking.

WARNING

• The sensors have blind spots in which obstacles are not regis-

tered. It is particularly important to ensure that there are no small

children or animals near the vehicle, as the sensors may not

always be able to detect them.

• The parking aid cannot replace the full concentration of the

driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking

and other manoeuvres. Always keep a close watch on the area

around the vehicle.

• Please note that low obstacles detected by the system may no

longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the

system will not give any further warning. Certain kinds of obsta-

cles (such as wire fences, chains, thin painted posts or trailer draw

bars, etc.) may not always be detected by the system (accident

risk).

Warning beeps

The warning beeps are produced by sound boxes. The volume and

Activating

An acoustic proximity warning is cancelled when you apply the

parking brake or move the selector lever of the automatic gearbox

to position P. However, the system remains active. The warning

beeps will start again as soon as you release the parking brake or

move the selector lever out of position P if the system has detected

an obstacle.

– Engage reverse gear to automatically activate the

parking system advanced, or

– Press the switch  in the centre console ⇒ page 129,

fig. 141 to manually activate the parking system

advanced. You will hear a short beep to confirm that the

parking system has been activated. The indicator lamp in

the switch will light up.

Reversing/driving forwards

When the vehicle is reversing/driving forwards, the system starts to

beep if it registers an obstacle within its detection range (see

above). The warnings will beep increasingly rapidly as the vehicle

approaches the obstacle.

Deactivating

– Drive forwards faster than approx. 10 km/h, or

When the vehicle is less than approx. 0.30 m away from the obstacle

the warning tone will sound continuously. From here at the latest,

the driver should then not reverse/drive forwards any further.

– Switch off the ignition to automatically deactivate the

complete parking system, or

– Press the switch  in the centre console ⇒ page 129,

fig. 141 to deactivate the parking system advanced. The

indicator lamp in the switch will go out.

The volume of the warning beeps will be gradually reduced after

about 4 seconds if the vehicle remains at a constant distance from

a detected obstacle (it will not be reduced if the obstacle is closer

than 0.30 m). The warnings will then return to the normal volume if

the vehicle approaches the detected obstacle again.

Activate the system manually if you are driving forwards and would

like the system to give a warning as you approach potential obsta-

cles, for instance when parking.

Parking

If the parking manoeuvre involves shunting backwards and

forwards, the warning sound will be switched off temporarily while

you change gear. The proximity graphic will, however, still be

normal volume if the vehicle approaches the detected obstacle

again.

Graphic display

The segments in the MMI display indicate the distance between the

vehicle and an obstacle. The number of segments shown depends

on the obstacle in front of or behind the vehicle. The closer the

vehicle gets to the obstacle the closer the segments move towards

the vehicle in the graphic ⇒ page 132, fig. 144. At the latest when

the penultimate segment is highlighted the vehicle has reached the

danger (collision) zone. The driver should then not move back-

The image of the reversing camera will be deactivated as soon as

you press a function selector button on the MMI control console.

The image of the reversing camera will be shown again the next

time you park the vehicle. The image of the reversing camera can

also be switched on again manually using the switch . For more

information on the MMI control console please refer to the MMI

Operating Manual.

tion selector button on the MMI control console. The graphic

display in the MMI screen can also be switched on again manually

using the switch . For more information on the MMI control

console please refer to the MMI Operating Manual.

Reversing camera (Rear View)

The mirrored image of the picture supplied by the reversing camera

⇒ page 136, fig. 149 is shown in the MMI display. The picture

supplied by the reversing camera also includes orientation lines

and area markings which are projected onto the image to assist you

when parking ⇒ page 134. The red line in the picture ⇒ page 134,

fig. 145/⇒ page 134, fig. 146 shows the collision zone. From here at

• Please note that low obstacles detected by the system may no

longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the

system will not give any further warning. Certain kinds of obsta-

cles (such as wire fences, chains, thin painted posts or trailer draw

bars, etc.) may not always be detected by the system (accident

risk).

the latest, the driver should not reverse any further ⇒

If your vehicle is near an obstacle, the proximity graphic will also

appear in the reversing camera image. This superimposed graphic

helps the driver to localise the critical area of the vehicle.

Note

If the MMI screen is showing the graphic display you can switch to

the image of the reversing camera by pressing the control button

for the function Rear View ⇒ page 132, fig. 144.

• There is a slight delay in the picture display.

• You can change the settings for the graphic display and the

reversing camera in the MMI ⇒ page 140.

• To ensure that the acoustic parking aid works properly, the

sensors and the lens of the reversing camera must be kept clean

and free of snow and ice. Please observe the additional notes from

⇒ page 143 onwards.

Parking mode

There are two different parking modes available when you park your

vehicle with the help of the reversing camera. These are referred to

as “Parking mode 1” ⇒ page 136 and “Parking mode 2” ⇒ page 137.

• Please refer to the notes on towing ⇒ page 138.

“Parking mode 1” ⇒ fig. 145 can, for example, be used when

parking your vehicle in a carport or a garage ⇒ page 136.

Applies to vehicles: with parking system advanced

“Parking mode 2” ⇒ fig. 146 can be used, for example, when

parking your vehicle at the roadside ⇒ page 137.

Reversing camera (Rear View)

When you activate the reversing camera ⇒ page 131 the MMI

display will automatically show “Parking mode 1”. You can switch to

⇒ page 136, fig. 150. Press the control button Mode repeatedly to

switch between “Parking mode 1” and “Parking mode 2”.

Orientation lines and area markings

Orientation lines and area markings (⇒ page 136, fig. 149 and

⇒ page 137, fig. 151) are also projected onto the reversing camera

images. They differ, depending on the parking mode you have

selected. These orientation markings are intended to assist the

driver when parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces. They are

projected onto the image at road surface level (not on a gradient).

Fig. 145 Viewed from

above: Parking mode 1

At the latest when the orientation lines and blue area markings

overlap with vehicles or other objects the distance to the vehi-

cles/objects is no longer sufficient ⇒ page 142.

The orientation lines and blue area markings will not be displayed if

the boot lid is open or the factory-fitted power socket for the trailer

is in use ⇒ page 138. This may not apply if the power socket was

NOT factory-fitted.

You can adjust the settings in the MMI to select which system you

want to be displayed on the MMI screen ⇒ page 140:

A Blue area marking

The marking behind the vehicle (in different shades of blue) is an

extension of the vehicle outline. It reaches about five metres to the

rear of the vehicle. The shade of blue changes at a distance of

approx. 1 m, 2 m and 5 m from the vehicle.

The orientation lines change direction according to the steering

angle. These lines represent the path which the rear of the vehicle

would take if you were to reverse using the current steering angle.

The dynamic orientation lines also have additional markers A
