Malfunction

Safety information

If Park Distance Control malfunctions,

the Attention icon appears on the con-

trol display.

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.

Depending on vehicle equipment, the sensor

detection range may not be shown on the con-

trol display.

hicle checked by an authorized service center

or another qualified service center or repair

shop.

Active Park Distance Control

Sensors

Active Park Distance Control is controlled by

the following sensors:

Principle

▷

Ultrasonic sensors in rear bumpers.

Ultrasonic sensors at the sides.

Rearview camera.

Active Park Distance Control is the brake func-

tion of Park Distance Control and initiates

emergency braking in the event of an acute

risk of collision.

The system can be used below walking speed

when reversing or coasting backward.

Driving off after emergency braking

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.

Due to system limits, a collision cannot be pre-

vented under all circumstances.

Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the

brake intervention. Emergency braking is not

performed.

If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer,

the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possi-

ble at any time.

Active Park Distance Control can be tempora-

rily deactivated on the control display, where

you can also change the settings for this sys-

tem.

Deactivating Active Park Distance

Control temporarily
