First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 133.
The parking aid (hereafter only referred to as system) works only when the igni-
tion is switched on.
The system supports the driver using acoustic signals/Infotainment display when
parking and manoeuvring.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the bumper
and an obstacle. The ultrasound sensors are integrated in the front/rear bumper.

These are only the approximate ranges of sensors.
b) Applies only for vehicles with 12 sensors.
The interval between the acoustic signals becomes shorter as the clearance is re-
duced. 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.
For information on setting the acoustic signals and a description of the Infotain-
ment display » operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Setting vehicle
systems (button CAR).
Activation/deactivation
The system is automatically activated when you shift into reverse or after press-
ing the button » Fig. 131. 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, by pressing the but-
ton or automatically at a speed exceeding 10 km/h (the symbol  in the but-

ton goes out).
On vehicles which only have rear sensors, the system can only be deactivated by
moving out of reverse gear.

On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted towing device, only the areas
