T
e
Park

has
certain system-related
limitations
and
the driver should be particularly
carefully when
using the
Park Assist system
=>
4::,..
One
element
of
the
Park Assist system is the
Park-
Pilo~
which
is designed to provide
assistan
ce
when
parking.
In
vehicles
with
ParkPilot
optical display
the
scan-
ned area
to
the
front,
rear and to
the
sides of the
vehicle
will
be shown on the screen of the radio
or
the
navigation
system.
Within the
scope permitted
by
the
system,
the
position of obstacles
will
be
shown
in
relation
to the
vehicle.
The Park Assist
system cannot be switched on if
the
factory-fitted towing bracket is electrica lly
con-
nected to
the
trailer.

A
WARNING
Do
not let
the
ext
ra conven ience afforded by
the
Park Ass ist system tempt you into taking
any
risks when driving- th is can cause acci-
dents. The system is not a substitute for the
full
concentration of the
driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause
seri
ous
inj
ury.
A
WARNING (Continuec;f)
-
•
Always adapt your speed and
drivi
ng style
to suit
visibility, weather,
road and
traffi
c con-
ditions.
•
The surface of certain
objects,
including
clothing,
as well as external noise sources do
not reflect the signals from the Park Assist
system or the parking distance warning sen-
sors or can cause the system to fail to detect
objects or
persons.
•
Sensors have blind spots in which obsta-
cles and people cannot be detected.
•
Always monitor the area around the vehi-
cle as the sensors will not always detect in-
fants
,
animals and objects.
..
A
WARNING
. .
p
k
When driving into or out of a parking space
using the Park Assist system
,
the steering
wheel will automatically make quick turning
movements. You could be injured if you at-
tempt to touch the steering wheel spokes.
•
The Park Assist system uses parked vehi-
cles,
the kerb and other objects as guidance.
Please ensure that the wheels and tyres are not
damaged when parking the
vehicle.
If necessa-
ry,
stop
t
he parking procedure in good time to
prevent
damage to the vehicle.
•
The sensors may not always be able to de-
tect objects such as trailer
drawbars,
thin rails,
fences,
posts,
trees and open or opening
tail
-
gates. This can result in damage to your vehi-
cle.
•
If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning
,
the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches
it,
particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered. The vehicle can sustain con-
siderable damage if the warning given by the
ParkPilot is ignored. The same applies to the
Park Assist system
, for
example when
parki
ng
behind a lorry o
r
a motorbike. Therefore, al-
ways check the space in front of and behind
the vehicle and stop the vehicle in good time if
necessary.
