Active Park Distance Control
The concept
Active Park Distance Control assists the driver
while parking by braking the vehicle automati‐
cally when it approaches an obstacle.
The system is available below walking speed in
transmission position D or R. Have the vehicle
roll during parking without pressing the accel‐
erator pedal.
Pressing the gas pedal reduces or interrupts
the braking assistance.
When a collision is imminent, the system auto‐
matically brakes the vehicle until it comes to a
stop.
After automatic braking to a stop, further
creeping toward an obstacle is possible. To

creep toward the obstacle, lightly press the
gas pedal and release it again.
If the gas pedal is heavily depressed, the vehi‐
cle drives off as usual. Manual braking is possi‐
ble at any time.
General information
Active Park Distance Control uses the ultra‐
sound sensors of PDC and park assistant.

When DSC is switched off, the automatic
brake assist is deactivated.

The active Park Distance Control does
not exempt the driver from personal responsi‐

dure closely, drive slowly and intervene if nec‐
essary; otherwise, there is the danger of an ac‐
cident.◀
