The Parking Assist System (PAS) is an op-
tical parking aid. It shows you the area
behind the vehicle on the COMAND
display 1.
In addition, the PAS contains guide lines
to help you with reverse parking
(back-in parking) and parallel parking.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed
as a reverse-mirror image similar to the
view in a rear view mirror.
The camera is in the license plate recess
next to the handle for the trunk lid.

Warning! G
Please note that objects which do not
touch the ground, such as the bumper of a
vehicle parked behind you, a trailer hitch,
or the back of a truck, may appear to be
further away than they actually are. In this
case, you should not use the guide lines to
judge distance. The use of the guide lines
to judge distance increases the risk of im-
pacting the objects.
Warning! G
The PAS is a supplement system. It is not in-
tended to, nor does it replace, the need for
extreme care. The responsibility during
parking and other driving maneuvers al-
ways rests with the driver.
The PAS may show obstacles with a distort-
ed perspective, incorrectly or not at all.
