General information on parking systems
WARNING
Never allow the automatic braking opera-
tions of park assist systems to lead you to
take any risk that compromises safety. In cer-
tain situations, the automatic braking inter-
vention may only work in a limited way or
not work at all. Collisions with obstacles can
injure people and damage the vehicle. The
system is not a replacement for driver aware-
ness.
●
Pay attention and do not rely solely on park
assist systems.
●
Always be prepared to brake and control
the steering yourself.
●
Do not take any risks that compromise
safety.
●
Act in accordance with the warnings and
driving recommendations of the parking sys-
tems.
Note
●
Switch o the parking system if the auto-
matic brakes operate excessively, e.g. when
driving o-road.
●
After the park assist’s manoeuvre braking
function has braked the vehicle, driving in
the same direction for 5 metres is deactiva-
ted, and becomes active again after changing
gear or changing the position of the gear se-
lector.
Troubleshooting
The parking system behaves dierently than
expected
There can be several causes:
●
The system requirements are not met.
●
The sensors or the camera are dirty or have
ice on them ›››page392.
●
The camera lens is not clean and the camera
image is not clear ›››page392.
●
Some noise sources, such as a jackhammer
or a cobblestone surface can interfere with the
ultrasound signal.
●
The vehicle has some type of damage in the
sensor or camera area, e.g. due to a parking
impact.
●
The sensor detection zone or eld of view of
the camera are blocked by an accessory, e.g. a
bike rack.
●
Changes have been made to the paintwork
or structural modications in the sensor or
camera area, e.g. at the front of the vehicle or
to the running gear.
Also take into account the messages displayed
on the infotainment system screen.
Sensor or camera without visibility, or the
parking system has been switched o
If a sensor fails, that sensor zone is perma-
nently switched o. The aected sensor zone
may be displayed on the infotainment system
with a
symbol and a greyed-out graphic
segment. If necessary, the parking system
switches o the aected zone.
If the park assist is not working properly, a con-
tinuous audio signal sounds for a few seconds
when it is switched on. If applicable, a message
to this eect is displayed on the instrument
cluster screen
●
Check if one of the causes indicated above
has occurred.
●
Once the source of the problem has been
eliminated, the system may be reconnected.
●
If the problem persists, consult a specialised
workshop.
