Active Park Distance Control
Principle
The Park Distance Control brake function ini-
tiates emergency braking if there is an acute
risk of collision.
Active Park Distance Control can be used at
vehicle speeds below walking speed when
driving or coasting in reverse.
Due to system limits, a collision cannot be pre-
vented under all circumstances.
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the
brake intervention. Emergency braking is not
performed.
Active Park Distance Control can be tempora-
rily deactivated on the control display, where
you can also change the settings for this sys-
tem.
General information
Follow the information in the "Parking assis-
tance systems" chapter.
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 system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
Warning
When using the trailer hitch, the assistance
system cannot react correctly because the
sensors are concealed. There may be a risk
of accidents or risk of damage to property. Do
not use the driver assistance system while
towing a trailer or when using the trailer hitch,
e.g., for a rear bicycle rack.
Sensors
Active Park Distance Control is controlled by
the following sensors:
▷ Ultrasonic sensors in rear bumpers.
▷ Ultrasonic sensors at the sides.
Driving off after emergency braking
After emergency braking to a stop, further
creeping toward an obstacle is possible. Pro-
ceed with caution. To move forward, lightly
press the accelerator pedal and release as
needed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer,
the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possi-
ble at any time.
Deactivating Active Park Distance
Control temporarily
After emergency braking, Active Park Distance
Control can be temporarily deactivated on the
control display. A corresponding message is
displayed.
Select the following message via iDrive:
"Obstacle detected. Emergency braking." /
"Deactivate temporarily".
No further emergency braking will be per-
formed in this situation as you continue driving.
The function is automatically reactivated when
Park Distance Control is switched on again.
