●
Move forward until the continuous ParkPilot
signal sounds; OR: move forward until the re-
verse indication appears on the instrument
panel display. The Park Assist system steers the
vehicle forward and back until it can exit the
space.
●
The vehicle can exit the space when a cor-
responding message is displayed on the instru-
ment panel and, in some cases, an acoustic
signal sounds. Take charge of the steering with
the turning angle set by the Park Assist system.
●
Paying attention to the traffic, exit the parking
space.
Reverse Assist (Rear View
Camera)
Introduction
A camera installed in the rear lid handle assists
the driver with reverse parking or manoeuvring
›››
page 185.
The camera image is viewed together with ori-
entation lines projected on the Infotainment
system screen. Part of the bumper can be seen
at the bottom, which can be used by the driver
as a reference point.
Reverse assist modes
Depending on the equipment, the following
modes are available:
226
Parking and manoeuvring
●
Angle parking: reverse parking perpendicu-
lar to the road.
●
Parallel parking: reverse parking parallel to
the road.
●
Assistance function for hitching a trailer:
helps to hitch a trailer.
●
Cross traffic: monitors cross traffic.
Requirements
To park with reverse assist, the following re-
quirements must be met:
●
Do not exceed a speed of approx. 15 km/h
(9 mph).
●
Parking space width: vehicle width + 0.2 m.
●
Distance: approx 1 metre from the parking
space (parallel only).
●
Length of the parking space: approx. 8 m
(parallel only)
To display a real image, the following require-
ments must be met:
●
The luggage compartment rear door is
closed.
●
The surroundings are on a flat surface.
●
The vehicle should not be loaded very heavily
at the rear.
WARNING
●
The reverse assist does not make it possi-
ble to precisely calculate the distance from
obstacles and nor can it overcome the sys-
tem's own limits, hence its negligent use may
cause serious accidents and injuries if used
without due care. The driver should be aware
of his/her surroundings at all times to ensure
safe driving.
●
The camera lens expands and distorts the
field of view and displays the objects on the
screen in a way that is different from reality.
Distance perception is also distorted.
●
Due to the screen resolution or light con-
ditions, some items may be blurry or not dis-
played at all. Take care with thin posts, fen-
ces, railings or trees that might not be seen
on the screen and could damage the vehicle.
●
The reverse assist has blind spots where
it cannot see people or objects. Monitor the
vehicle's surrounding area at all times.
●
The system is not a replacement for driver
awareness. Supervise the parking manoeu-
vre and the vehicle's surrounding area at all
times.
●
Do not be distracted from the traffic by
looking at the screen.
●
The images are only two-dimensional. Pro-
truding objects or holes in the road, for ex-
ample, are more difficult to detect or may not
be seen at all.
