The parking aid (hereafter referred to solely as system) only works when the
ignition is switched on.
The system supports the driver via audible signals, via the display on the radio
or via the factory-installed navigation system when parking and manoeu-
vring » Radio user guide, Navigation system user guide.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the
bumper and an obstacle. The ultrasound sensors are located on the front/rear
bumper.

a)
Applies only for vehicles with 12 sensors.
The interval between the acoustic signals becomes shorter as the clearance is
reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm - danger
area. From this moment on do not continue driving!
The length of the vehicle can be increased with an installed detachable towing
device. The danger area thus begins at a distance of around 35 cm on vehicles
equipped with a factory-fitted towing device.
Towing a trailer
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted towing device, only system areas
A
and
B
» Fig. 147 are active when towing a trailer.
Activation/deactivation
Read and observe and on page 153 first.
The system is automatically activated by selecting reverse gear or pressing
the symbol button
» Fig. 147 on page 154 . The symbol
lights up in the
button; activation is confirmed by a brief acoustic signal.
The system is deactivated by moving out of reverse gear or by pressing the
symbol button, or is deactivated automatically at a speed of over 10 km/h (the
symbol in the button goes out).
On vehicles which only have rear sensors, the system can only be deactivated
by moving out of reverse gear.

Park Assist (in the following referred to as the system) helps drivers park in
suitable parallel and perpendicular parking places and also to manoeuvre out
of parallel parking spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements when parking or driving out of
the parking space, the driver operates the pedals as well as the gear lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
