Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
Visual parking system
WARNING
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention and
■
it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when reversing the vehicle
or carrying out similar manoeuvres. Pay particular attention to small children
and animals as they are not recognised by the parking aid sensors.
Before reversing, you should make sure that there are no small obstacles,
■
such as rocks, thin posts, trailer drawbars etc. in front or behind your vehicle.
Such obstacles may not be recognised by the parking aid sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of cloth-
■
ing cannot reflect the signals from the parking aid. Thus, these objects or peo-
ple who wear such clothing are not recognised by the parking aid sensors.
External sound sources can have a detrimental effect on the parking aid.
■
Under unfavourable conditions, objects or people may not be recognised.
CAUTION
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
■
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
also indicated by the  symbol flashing in the
Have the fault rectified by a specialist garage.
The sensors must be kept clean (free of ice, etc.) to enable the parking aid to
■
operate properly.
Note
Additionally installed modules such as bicycle carriers can impair the function of
■
the parking aid.
If the parking aid is activated and the selector lever of the automatic gearbox is
■
in the position P, the warning signal is interrupted (the vehicle cannot move).

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 141.
The parking aid (hereafter referred to solely as system) only works when the igni-
tion is switched on.
The system assists the driver by giving acoustic signals and displaying informa-
tion on the screen of the navigation system or the radio when parking and ma-
noeuvring » page 142, Visual parking system.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the bumper
and an obstacle. The ultrasound sensors are located on the front/rear bumper.
The signal tones for the front parking aid sound higher than for the rear parking
aid. The tones of the parking aid can be adapted in the menu of the Information
display » page 16.
Range of sensors
The distance warning begins at a distance of about 160°cm from the obstacle at
the rear of the vehicle and about 120 cm from the obstacle in front of the vehicle
» Fig. 118. The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the
A
clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm
area. From this moment on do not continue driving!
On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, the border of the danger area

starts (continuous tone) 5 cm further away from the vehicle. The length of the ve-
hicle can be increased with an installed detachable towing device.
