You can choose between two modes to assist
you with parking. For example, you can use
"park ing mode l" when parking in a parking
space or garage
c:> fig. 150. When you want to
park parallel to the edge of the street, select
''parking mode 2"
c:> fig. 151.
The rear acoust ic park assist system is inte-
grated in the rear of the vehicle and the rear
view camera is integrated in the rear lid
c:> page 134.
A WARNING
- The rear view camera has blind spots, in
wh ich objects cannot be detected . Be es-
pecially careful to check for small chil-
dren and animals before backing up.
Small children and anima ls will not al-
ways be detected by the sensors.
General Information
Applies to vehicles: with parking system (rear, with rear
view camera)

Sensors in the bumper
Sensors are located in the rear bumpers . If
these detect an obstacle, audible and visual
Park assist 133
signals warn you. The range at which the sen-
sors begin to measure is approximately:
To the side
Center rear
2 ft (0.60 m)
5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Distance warn ing when reversing starts when
an obstacle is detected in the range of the
parking assist system . As the distance de-
creases, the time interval between the audible
tones becomes shorter.
When the distance is less than 1ft (0.30 m),
the tone becomes continuous. At th is point
you should stop backing up.
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same,
the volume of the distance signa l chime is
gradually reduced after about 4 seconds (does
not affect the continuous signal tone). Ap-
proaching another obstacle will cause the dis-
tance signal to sound again at the normal vol-
ume .
Rear view camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by
the rear view camera c:> fig. 152 @ . Objects
that are not in the area covered @ are not
shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with
the rear view camera in a traffic-free location
or parking lot to become familiar with the sys-
tem, the orientation lines, and their funct ion.
When doing this, there should be good light
and weather conditions .
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
- you are driving in reverse gear from a level
surface onto an incline, or a downward
slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear toward pro-
trud ing objects,
- the vehicle is carrying too much load in the
rear.
The accuracy of the orientation li nes and blue
surfaces diminishes if:
