16.￿Park￿Distance￿Control
16.3.￿Active￿Park￿Distance￿Control
In￿G12￿vehicles￿with￿the￿Parking￿Maneuver￿Assistant￿optional￿equipment￿(OE￿5DP),￿the￿Park￿Distance
Control￿function￿has￿been￿extended￿to￿include￿the￿active￿Park￿Distance￿Control￿function.￿This
automatically￿brakes￿the￿vehicle￿to￿a￿halt￿when￿it￿is￿travelling￿at￿walking￿speed￿(￿<￿approximately￿6 km/
h)￿if￿an￿object￿is￿detected￿behind￿the￿vehicle.
If￿the￿accelerator￿pedal￿is￿pressed￿and￿an￿obstacle￿is￿detected,￿the￿brakes￿are￿preconditioned￿and
gentle￿initial￿braking￿is￿initiated￿as￿a￿warning￿for￿the￿driver.￿If￿the￿accelerator￿pedal￿is￿not￿pressed￿and
the￿vehicle￿is￿very￿close￿to￿the￿obstacle,￿the￿function￿brakes￿the￿vehicle￿with￿the￿maximum￿possible
brake￿force￿until￿it￿comes￿to￿a￿standstill.￿This￿can￿potentially￿avoid￿a￿collision￿or￿reduce￿the￿damage.
The￿automatic￿brake￿intervention￿can￿be￿overridden￿at￿any￿time￿by￿pressing￿the￿accelerator￿pedal.
Consequently,￿after￿the￿vehicle￿is￿automatically￿braked￿to￿a￿standstill,￿it￿is￿possible￿to￿continue￿to
approach￿the￿obstruction￿by￿gently￿pressing￿the￿accelerator￿pedal.
The￿active￿Park￿Distance￿Control￿function￿can￿be￿switched￿on￿and￿off￿via￿iDrive.
If￿the￿Dynamic￿Stability￿Control￿(DSC)￿is￿switched￿off,￿then￿the￿active￿Park￿Distance￿Control￿is￿also
deactivated.￿If￿the￿active￿Park￿Distance￿Control￿is￿switched￿on￿when￿the￿Dynamic￿Stability￿Control￿is
switched￿off,￿the￿DSC￿is￿automatically￿switched￿on￿at￿the￿same￿time.
The￿system￿does￿not￿relieve￿the￿driver￿of￿personal￿responsibility￿for￿correctly￿judging￿the￿traffic
situation.￿The￿driver￿should￿check￿the￿traffic￿conditions￿and￿the￿vehicle's￿surroundings￿by￿looking
around￿and￿react￿accordingly￿if￿required.
16.4.￿Side￿protection
Vehicles￿with￿the￿Parking￿Maneuver￿Assistant￿optional￿equipment￿(OE￿5DP)￿have￿side￿protection.
Obstacles￿that￿are￿detected￿by￿the￿four￿side￿ultrasonic￿sensors￿integrated￿in￿the￿bumpers￿can￿be
displayed￿by￿the￿Park￿Distance￿Control￿system.
Display￿in￿the￿central￿information￿display￿(CID)
Colored￿markings
Grey￿markings
No￿markings
The￿system￿only￿shows￿stationary￿obstacles￿that￿were￿earlier￿detected￿by￿the￿ultrasonic￿sensors￿when
driving￿past.
It￿is￿not￿able￿to￿detect￿whether￿an￿obstacle￿has￿since￿moved.￿For￿this￿reason,￿the￿markings￿on￿the
display￿are￿shown￿in￿grey￿after￿the￿vehicle￿has￿been￿stationary￿for￿roughly￿13 seconds.
More￿information￿on￿the￿side￿protection￿function￿can￿be￿found￿in￿section￿18.6.
