174 Driving and operating
Indication
The system warns the driver with
acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles in front of the
vehicle in a distance range up to 80
cm and against potentially hazardous
obstacles behind the vehicle in a
distance range up to 50 cm while a
forward gear is engaged, respectively
up to 1.5 m while reverse gear is
engaged.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you
will hear acoustic warning signals in
the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear and
front obstacles is displayed by
changing distance lines in the Driver
Information Centre 3 98 or,
depending on the version, on the Info-
Display 3 103.
The distance indication can be
inhibited by vehicle messages with a
higher priority. After dismissing the
message distance indication appears
again.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated
automatically when vehicle speed
exceeds 11 km/h.
Manual deactivation is also possible
by pressing the parking assist button
r.
When the system is deactivated
manually, the LED in the button
extinguishes and Park Assist Off
pops-up in the Driver Information
Centre.
After a manual deactivation, the front-
rear parking assist is activated again
if r is pressed or if reverse gear is
engaged.
Fault
In the event of a fault or if the system
does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, a
message pops-up in the Driver
Information Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 105.
