First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 140.
The parking aid (hereafter only referred to as system) works only when the igni-
tion is switched on.
The system supports the driver using acoustic signals/Infotainment display when
parking and manoeuvring.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the bumper
and an obstacle. The ultrasound sensors are integrated in the front/rear bumper.

The interval between the acoustic signals becomes shorter as the clearance is re-
duced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm - danger area.
From this moment on do not continue driving!
The length of the vehicle can be increased with an installed detachable towing
device. The danger area thus begins at a distance of around 35 cm on vehicles
equipped with a factory-fitted towing device.
For information on setting the acoustic signals and a description of the Infotain-
ment display see » Infotainment manual, chapter Vehicle settings (button CAR).
Activation/deactivation
The system is automatically activated by selecting reverse gear or pressing the
symbol button  » Fig. 129 . The symbol  lights up in the button; activation is
confirmed by a brief acoustic signal.
The system is deactivated by moving out of reverse gear, either by pressing the
symbol button or automatically at a speed exceeding 10 km/h (the symbol  in
the button goes out).
On vehicles which only have rear sensors, the system can only be deactivated by
moving out of reverse gear.
Towing a trailer
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted towing device, only the areas
B » Fig. 129 of the system are active when operating a trailer, there is no road
display.
