In the event of a serious distraction to the

Fatigue detection will be restored when the
vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched off or when the
driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long pe-
riod of time (below 65 km/h, 40 mph) the
system automatically re-establishes the tired-
ness calculation. When driving at a faster
speed the driving behaviour will be recalcula-
ted.

Introduction
The Park Assist system is an additional func-
tion of ParkPi
lot ››› page 257 and helps the
driver to:
●
find a suitable parking space,
●
select a parking mode,
●
park driving in reverse in suitable perpen-
dicular and parallel spaces,
●
park driving forwards in suitable perpen-
dicular spaces,
●
exit a parking space driving forwards from
a paral
lel space.
In vehicles with a Park Assist system and fac-
tory radio the front, rear and side areas are
represented, and the position of obstacles is
shown relative to the vehicle.
The Park Assist system is subject to certain
limitations inherent to the system and its use
requires special attention by the driver
›››
.
WARNING
The technology used in the park assist sys-
tem inv
olves a series of limitations inherent
in the actual system and in the use of ultra-
sonic sensors. The use of Park Assist should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
●
Any accidental movement of the vehicle
could result in serious injury.
●
Adapt
your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
●
Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not reflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect, at least cor-
rectly, these objects or people wearing such
clothes.
●
Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
●
The ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
which obstacles and people are not regis-
tered.
●
Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, since the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain ob-
jects in all situations.
WARNING
Quick turns of the steering wheel when park-
ing or ex
iting a parking space with Park As-
sist can cause serious injury.
●
Do not hold the steering wheel during ma-
noeuvres to park or exit a parking space until
the system requests it. Doing so disables the
system during the manoeuvre, resulting in
the parking being cancelled.
