Range of sensors
The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 160 cm from the obstacle (area
A ⇒ page 93, fig.
104). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter
A
as the clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from a clearance of just 30 cm (Bereich
area. You should not reverse any further after this signal sounds!
Activating
The parking aid is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged and the
ignition is turned on. This is confirmed by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating
The parking aid is deactivated by removing the reverse gear.
WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention
and it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when parking the
vehicle or carrying out similar manoeuvres.
•
You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no
small obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., behind your
vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the
sensors.
Note
•
When operating with a trailer, the parking aid is without function.
•
A system fault is indicated if a warning signal sounds for about 5 seconds after
switching the ignition on and engaging reverse gear and there is no obstacle close
to your vehicle. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
•
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.
•
If the parking aid is activated and the selector lever of the automatic gearbox is
A
in the position , warning signal indicates interruption (vehicle can no longer
P
move).

Cruise control system (CCS)*

Introduction
A
) - danger
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h,
B
once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator pedal. This is
only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and braking
power of the engine. The cruise control system makes it possible - particularly on
long journeys - for you to rest your "accelerator foot".
WARNING
•
The cruise control system must not, for safety reasons, be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads or
loose chippings) - risk of accident!
•
In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control system, always
switch off the system after use.
Note
•
Models fitted with a manual gearbox: Always depress the clutch pedal if you
switch on the cruise control system when the gearbox is in Neutral. Otherwise the
engine can rev up unintentionally.
•
The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving
on steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at which
it travels. One should shift down in good time to a lower gear or slow the vehicle
down by applying the foot brake.
•
It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch on the
cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position P, N or R.
