Introduction

Park Distance Control assists the driver when parking and warns if there are obstacles.

How it works

Using ultrasonic sensors, Park Distance Control detects the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle.

The Park Distance Control warns you of a collision via colored segments on the screen of the Infotainment system

and via warning chimes →

If the driver does not respond to an approaching obstacle, automatic braking support may intervene(depending on

the vehicle equipment) (→ Automatic braking support).

WARNING

The Park Distance Control is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system

limitations. Park Distance Control might not be able to detect some obstacles and may not react, may react late, or

may react in a way that is undesired. If you do not take care, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries.

● Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the

vehicle.

● React quickly to the Park Distance Control visual warnings and chimes.

● Apply the brakes using the brake pedal before encountering an obstacle.

NOTICE

The system will only provide visual and audible warnings for obstacles within the vehicle's path. The collision area

has been reached, at the latest, when the second to last segment is displayed in the Park Distance Control screen or

a continuous warning tone sounds. There is a risk of damage to the vehicle.

● Always brake the vehicle in good time before encountering an obstacle.

NOTICE

Depending on the vehicle equipment, distances to obstacles in the side areas are also displayed. Any obstacles that

enter these areas from the outside are not displayed. The vehicle may be damaged in this instance.

● In order to fully scan and display the side areas, move the vehicle a few meters forwards or backwards.

Automatic activation when driving forward

The function can be activated or deactivated in the Park Distance Control settings in the Infotainment system.

below this again.

Or: the ignition has been switched off and on again.

Or: parking lockP has been changed to a gear.

If an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle, the Park Distance Control display appears in the Infotainment

system. If the vehicle continues to approach the obstacle, a warning chime also sounds.
