▷ Ultrasonic sensors in the front/rear bump-
ers.
▷ Ultrasonic sensors at the sides.
Functional requirements
The following functional requirements apply for
drive-off monitoring:
▷ Selector lever position D or R is engaged
when the vehicle is stationary.
▷ Obstacles in the immediate vicinity are de-
tected in front of or behind the vehicle.
▷ The accelerator pedal is heavily applied,
nearly to the end point.
▷ The accelerator pedal is immediately ap-
plied after engaging the selector lever posi-
tion and obstacle detection.
Turning drive-off monitoring on/off
To turn drive-off monitoring on or off, go
through the menu as follows via iDrive:
Apps menu / "Vehicle" / "Driving settings" /
"Driver Assistance" / "Parking" / "Drive off
monitoring".
A Check Control message is displayed where
applicable.
Depending on the national-market version, the
system is automatically turned on again at the
next drive.
Canceling reduced drive power
The reduction of the drive power is canceled in
the following situations:
▷
The accelerator pedal is released.
▷ After the accelerator pedal has been de-
pressed completely twice.
▷ A specific distance has been traveled.
If the reduction in drive power is canceled by
covering a certain distance, the drive power is
released gradually.
Display
As soon as the system engages, an
icon is displayed with a corresponding

System limits
General information
Follow the system limits in the "Parking assis-
tance systems" chapter.
Trailer towing
Drive-off monitoring is deactivated when the
trailer power socket is occupied or trailer tow-

rear bicycle rack.
Automatic Parking Assistant
Principle
Automatic Parking Assistant provides support
when parallel parking and parking transverse
to the road.
In addition, the system makes it easier to
park out of parallel and perpendicular parking
spaces.
The ultrasonic sensors measure both sides of
the vehicle when driving slowly forward. Suita-
ble parking spaces are calculated based on the
objects detected, e.g., parking vehicles. The
system status is displayed.
The system calculates the best possible park-
ing line for driving in or out of parking spaces,
and takes control of the vehicle while parking.
The operating principle and operation of Park
Assist is divided into the following steps:
▷
Parking space search.
▷ Turning on.
▷ Parking.
▷ Driving out of parking spaces.
