Parking assistance systems  
General information  
The parking assistance systems include differ-  
ent individual systems. The individual systems  
help the driver when parking, maneuvering, or  
reversing by providing various assistance func-  
tions, sensors, and camera views.

Operating concept  
Warning  
The camera-based individual systems are op-  
erated with the function bars on the control  
display. The camera views can be viewed by  
selecting the appropriate icon.  
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  
In the Parking menu, some parking assistance  
systems can be configured individually.  
Some parking assistance systems can be  
started by voice control as needed, e.g., driving

gle.  
Safety information  
Warning  
Using parking aid lines  
Because of system limitations, this system  
may either not respond, or respond too late,  
incorrectly, or without cause. There is a risk  
of accident, injury, and property damage. Ac-  
tively intervene as warranted. Refer to the in-  
formation in this Owner’s Manual regarding  
the scope of the system’s operation and limi-  
tations.  
1. Position the vehicle so that the red turning  
circle line leads to within the limits of the  
parking space.  
2. Turn the steering wheel to the point where  
the green pathway line covers the corre-  
sponding turning circle line.

Park Distance Control  
Principle  
General information  
Park Distance Control assists with parking.  
Acoustic and visual warnings signal obstacles  
in front of or behind the vehicle.  
Follow the information in the "Parking assis-  
tance systems" chapter.  
Obstacles that are detected by the side ultra-  
sonic sensors can also be reported.  
Functional requirements  
The cargo area is fully closed.  
The camera area is clean and clear.  
General information  
The range of the system, depending on obsta-  
cles and environmental conditions, is approx.  
6 ft/2 m.  
Turning the rearview camera on/off  
Turning the camera view on  
automatically  
When drive-ready state is switched on, the  
rearview camera is automatically switched on  
if selector lever position R is engaged.  
An acoustic warning sounds in case of an im-  
pending collision at a distance to the object of  
approx. 27 in/70 cm.  
For objects behind the vehicle, the acoustic  
warning is issued as early as a distance to the  
object of approx. 5 ft/1.50 m.

Turning off the system automatically  
When driving forward, the system turns off au-  
tomatically as needed when a certain distance  
or speed is exceeded.  
Warning  
Due to high speeds when the Park Distance  
Control is activated, the warning can be de-  
layed due to physical circumstances. There is  
a risk of injury and risk of property damage.  
Avoid approaching an object too fast. Avoid  
driving off quickly while Park Distance Control  
is not yet active.

Sensors  
Depending on the national-market version, the  
system cannot be turned off manually when  
the reverse gear is engaged.  
The system is controlled by the following sen-  
sors:  
Ultrasonic sensors in the front/rear bump-  
ers.

General information  
Turning Park Distance Control  
on/off  
An intermittent tone indicates when the vehicle  
is approaching an object. E.g., when an object  
is detected at the rear left of the vehicle, a  
sound is heard from the rear left speaker.  
Turning on the system automatically  
The system switches on automatically in the  
following situations:  
The shorter the distance to the object, the  
shorter the intervals of the intermittent tones.  
When drive-ready state is switched on  
when selector lever position R is engaged.  
When the distance to a detected object is less  
than approx. 8 in/20 cm, a continuous tone is  
sounded.

CONTROLS  
When there are objects in front of and behind  
the vehicle at the same time, at a distance  
smaller than approx. 8 in/20 cm, an alternating  
continuous tone will sound between the front  
and rear speakers.  
If the vehicle is equipped with Cross Traffic  
Warning: the display also warns the driver of  
vehicles approaching from behind.  
To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle  
markings are displayed on the sides of the ve-  
hicle.  
The intermittent tones and the continuous tone  
are turned off when selector lever position P is  
engaged.  
Display  
Depending on national-market version, the in-  
termittent tones are switched off after a short  
time when the vehicle is stationary.  
Depending on vehicle equipment, warnings  
may be displayed in front of, next to, and be-  
hind the vehicle.  
If an object approaches when the vehicle is  
stationary, the acoustic signal is reactivated.

have been detected within the detection  
range.

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.

The ultrasonic sensors measure both sides of  
the vehicle when driving slowly forward. Suita-  
ble parking spaces are calculated based on the  
objects detected, e.g., parking vehicles. The

2. "Deactivate temporarily"  
During continued driving in this surrounding  
situation, no further emergency braking will  
occur.  
The function is automatically reactivated when  
Park Distance Control is switched on again.

the best possible parking line for driving into  
parking spaces, and takes control of steering  
while parking.  
Settings  
It is possible to set which areas on the vehicle  
will be protected by the system.

Parking methods  
Park Assist supports the following functions:  
Suitable parking space  
Longitudinal parking:  
Minimum length of a detected object, e.g., a  
parking vehicle: approx. 3 ft/1 m.  
Minimum length of gap between two ob-  
jects: own vehicle length plus approx.  
2.6 ft/0.8 m.  
Minimum depth: approx. 5 ft/1.5 m.  
Perpendicular parking:  
Minimum length of a detected object, e.g., a  
parking vehicle: approx. 3 ft/1 m.  
Parallel parking: reverse parking parallel to the  
road.  
Minimum width of the gap: own vehicle  
width plus approx. 2.3 ft/0.7 m.  
Minimum depth: own vehicle length.  
The depth of perpendicular parking spaces  
must be estimated by the driver. Due to  
technical limitations, the system is only able  
to approximate the depth of perpendicular  
parking spaces.
