ParkAssist

A
ParkAssist visually and audibly indicates to the
B
driver the distance between the vehicle and an ob-
C
stacle during parking and maneuvering.
ParkAssist's visual parking assistance is displayed
D
on the touch display in the dashboard. Obstacles
E
located in front of and behind the vehicle are indi-
cated by means of different colored fields on the
F
touchscreen. These fields show the contour of the
G
obstacles as well as their distance from the
vehicle.
H
Inattentive maneuvering
WARNING
I
or parking
J
The increased comfort offered by ParkAssist
K should not induce you to risk your safety. Notwith-
standing ParkAssist, responsibility for parking and
L
for assessing obstacles lies with the driver. The
M
system cannot replace the driver's attentiveness.
e Make sure that no persons, animals, or ob-
N
stacles are within maneuvering range of the
O
vehicle.
P
The ParkAssist cannot recognize the following:
Q
– Sound-absorbing obstacles (e.g. wintery con-
ditions, powder snow, clothing made from fab-
R
ric, hide or fur).
S
– Sound-reflecting obstacles (e.g. glass surfa-
ces, flat enameled surfaces).
T
– Very thin obstacles (e.g. thin posts).
U
– External ultrasound waves (e.g. air brakes from
other vehicles, road sweeping machines,
V
pneumatic hammers) can interfere with ob-
W
stacle detection.
– Obstacles, if the sensors or cameras are very
X
dirty.

Distance measurement
Fig. 121: Ultrasound sensors for distance measurement
The ultrasound sensors A in the rear and front
bumpers measure the distance to the nearest ob-
stacle. A detected obstacle is reported through an
intermittent tone. The intervals shorten as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle. When the dis-
tance is less than approx. 30 cm, a continuous
tone sounds.
Obstacles above and below the sensors cannot be
detected.
The warning tone volume can be adjusted using
the touch display in the dashboard.
> Please see chapter "Vehicle settings" on
page 248.
