Warning

The system cannot serve as a substitute for

the driver’s personal judgment in assessing

the traffic situation. Based on the limits of

the system, it cannot independently react to

all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-

dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust

driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the

surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready

to take over steering and braking at any time,

and actively intervene where appropriate.

Parking assistance systems

2. Turn the steering wheel to the point where

the green pathway line covers the corre-

sponding turning circle line.

Obstacle marking

Pathway lines help you to estimate the space

required when parking and maneuvering on

level roads.

Lane lines are displayed in front of or behind

the vehicle depending on the gear engaged.

The pathway lines are continuously adjusted

to the steering movements depending on the

steering-wheel angle.

CONTROLS

The system does not detect whether an obsta-

cle moves later on. When the vehicle is station-

ary, the gray shaded areas on the sides are

hidden after a certain time. The area on the

side of the vehicle must be newly captured.

Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the

brake intervention. Emergency braking is not

performed.

After emergency braking to a stop, further

creeping toward an obstacle is possible. Pro-

ceed with caution. To move forward, lightly

press the accelerator pedal and release as

needed.

Also follow the information on system limits in

the "Parking assistance systems" chapter.

Unwarranted warnings

Reaching the system limits can cause unwar-

ranted warnings.

If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer,

the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possi-

ble at any time.

Follow the information in the "Parking assis-

tance systems" chapter.

To prevent unwarranted warnings, for instance

in car washes, turn off automatic Park Dis-

tance Control activation on obstacle detection.

Depending on the national-market version, the

system is automatically turned on again at the

next drive.

The operating principle and operation of the

system is divided into the following steps:

▷

Parking space search.

Turning on.

Canceling reduced drive power

The reduction of the drive power is canceled in

the following situations:

Parking.

Driving out of parking spaces.

▷

The accelerator pedal is released.

The parking manoeuver while parking is per-

formed automatically.

After the accelerator pedal has been de-

pressed completely twice.

When driving out of parallel parking spaces,

the vehicle maneuvers automatically until it

reaches a position where it can be driven out

of the parking space without further steering

movements.

▷

A specific distance has been traveled.

If the reduction in drive power is canceled by

covering a certain distance, the drive power is

released gradually.

When driving out of perpendicular parking

spaces, the vehicle is maneuvered out of the

parking space to enable continued driving in

the desired direction.

General information

A recurring maneuver is driven manually and

thereby recorded.

When the vehicle reaches the activation area

for the distance covered by the stored maneu-

ver, the maneuver can be activated on the con-

trol display or in the instrument cluster.

The detection range for a maneuver is divided

into the following areas:

After the activation, the system takes control

of the vehicle and carries out the maneuver

automatically.

▷

Proximity range, arrow 1: the system will

begin with the localization in the back-

ground within a range of approx. 26 ft/8 m

around the distance covered of a stored

maneuver.

In addition, the parking maneuver can be per-

formed using Remote Control Parking on a

smartphone.

Follow the information in the "Parking assis-
