System limits
General information
Due to system limits, a collision cannot be pre-
vented under all circumstances.
General information
The function for protecting the vehicle sides
only shows stationary obstacles that were pre-
viously detected by the sensors when passing
by.
The function is available below walking speed
when driving in reverse or rolling backward.
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the
brake intervention. Emergency braking is not
performed.
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.
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.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer,
the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possi-
ble at any time.
Unwarranted warnings
Reaching the system limits can cause unwar-
ranted warnings.
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.
Safety information
Warning
Malfunction
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.
An icon is displayed on the control dis-
play.
Depending on vehicle equipment: The
sensor detection range may not be shown on
the control display.
A Check Control message is displayed.
Park Distance Control malfunction. Have the
vehicle checked by an authorized service cen-
ter or another qualified service center or repair
shop.
