16.3.�Active�Park�Distance�Control
In�G12�vehicles�with�the�Parking�Maneuver�Assistant�optional�equipment�(OE�5DP),�the�Park�Distance
Control�function�has�been�extended�to�include�the�active�Park�Distance�Control�function.�This
automatically�brakes�the�vehicle�to�a�halt�when�it�is�travelling�at�walking�speed�(�<�approximately�6km/
h)�if�an�object�is�detected�behind�the�vehicle.
If�the�accelerator�pedal�is�pressed�and�an�obstacle�is�detected,�the�brakes�are�preconditioned�and
gentle�initial�braking�is�initiated�as�a�warning�for�the�driver.�If�the�accelerator�pedal�is�not�pressed�and
the�vehicle�is�very�close�to�the�obstacle,�the�function�brakes�the�vehicle�with�the�maximum�possible
brake�force�until�it�comes�to�a�standstill.�This�can�potentially�avoid�a�collision�or�reduce�the�damage.
The�automatic�brake�intervention�can�be�overridden�at�any�time�by�pressing�the�accelerator�pedal.
Consequently,�after�the�vehicle�is�automatically�braked�to�a�standstill,�it�is�possible�to�continue�to
approach�the�obstruction�by�gently�pressing�the�accelerator�pedal.
The�active�Park�Distance�Control�function�can�be�switched�on�and�off�via�iDrive.
If�the�Dynamic�Stability�Control�(DSC)�is�switched�off,�then�the�active�Park�Distance�Control�is�also
deactivated.�If�the�active�Park�Distance�Control�is�switched�on�when�the�Dynamic�Stability�Control�is
switched�off,�the�DSC�is�automatically�switched�on�at�the�same�time.
The�system�does�not�relieve�the�driver�of�personal�responsibility�for�correctly�judging�the�traffic
situation.�The�driver�should�check�the�traffic�conditions�and�the�vehicle's�surroundings�by�looking
around�and�react�accordingly�if�required.
16.4.�Side�protection
Vehicles�with�the�Parking�Maneuver�Assistant�optional�equipment�(OE�5DP)�have�side�protection.
Obstacles�that�are�detected�by�the�four�side�ultrasonic�sensors�integrated�in�the�bumpers�can�be
displayed�by�the�Park�Distance�Control�system.
Display�in�the�central�information�display�(CID) Meaning
Colored�markings Warning�of�detected�obstacles
Grey�markings The�area�next�to�the�vehicle�has�not�yet�been
recorded
No�markings No�obstacles�have�been�detected
The�system�only�shows�stationary�obstacles�that�were�earlier�detected�by�the�ultrasonic�sensors�when
driving�past.
It�is�not�able�to�detect�whether�an�obstacle�has�since�moved.�For�this�reason,�the�markings�on�the
display�are�shown�in�grey�after�the�vehicle�has�been�stationary�for�roughly�13seconds.
More�information�on�the�side�protection�function�can�be�found�in�section�18.6.
