In some countries, Park Assist can assist the driver with an automatic braking intervention in certain situations.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and certain conditions, e.g. weather, load or inclination of the vehicle, Park
Assist can automatically brake the vehicle before an obstacle. Following this intervention, the driver must depress the
brake pedal.
The parking manoeuvre is ended if an automatic braking intervention occurs.
Park Assist is active and the parking manoeuvre is automatically cancelled
Park Assist automatically cancels a parking procedure if one of the following criteria is met:
—The
button is pressed.
—The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
—The driver door is opened.
—The time limit or number of manoeuvres for parking are exceeded.
—The TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.
—There is a fault in the system.
Start the parking procedure again (→ Driving into a parking space).
Introduction
The Park Distance Control assists the driver when manoeuvring and parking.
Fig. 1 In the Infotainment system: obstacle detection for
Park Distance Control (illustration).
How the system works
Park Distance Control detects the distance from an obstacle by means of sensors in the rear and front areas of the
vehicle.
Park Distance Control warns about an obstacle by means of colour segments on the Infotainment system screen and
acoustic signals → Fig. 1. The closer the vehicle drives towards an obstacle, the closer the segment will move
towards the vehicle as shown on the display →
.
Also observe the information on the screen displays of the parking systems (→ Screen display).
Acoustic signals
An intermittent acoustic signal is given if a sufficiently short distance between the vehicle and an obstacle is
detected. The shorter the distance, the shorter the intervals. The acoustic signal will sound continuously if the
obstacle is very close. Do not drive on!
