Deactivated camera
When the camera is deactivated, for instance
when the trunk lid is open, the camera image is
displayed hatched in gray.
Detection of objects
Very low obstacles as well as high, protruding
objects such as ledges may not be detected by
the system.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, some as‐
sistance functions also consider data from the
PDC Park Distance Control.
Follow the notes in the PDC Park Distance Con‐
trol chapter.
The objects displayed on the Control Display
may be closer than they appear. Do not estimate
the distance from the objects on the display.

Concept
The system supports the driver in the following
situations:
▷ When parking parallel to the road, parallel
parking.
▷ When reverse parking diagonally to the road,
diagonal parking. The system orients itself
with the middle of the parking space during
diagonal parking.
▷ Depending on the equipment version: when
driving out of parallel parking spaces.
General information
Handling
Parking assistant handling is divided into three
steps:
▷ Switching on and activating.
▷ Parking space search.
▷ Parking.
System status and instructions on required ac‐
tions are displayed on the Control Display.
Ultrasound sensors measure parking spaces on
both sides of the vehicle.
Steptronic transmission
The parking assistant calculates the best possi‐
ble parking line and takes control of the following
functions during the parking operation:
▷ Steering.
▷ Accelerating and braking.
▷ Changing gears.
The parking operation is automatic.
Safety information
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 sys‐
tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where appropri‐
ate.
