The detection range of the sensors is shown in
green, yellow and red if obstacles are detected
within the range.
Depending on the view, driving lane lines, turning
circle lines and obstacle markings are shown for
a better estimation of the space required.
Cross-traffic Warning: depending on the equip‐
ment, a warning in the display is also shown for
vehicles that are approaching at the sides from
the rear or front.
Lateral Parking Aid
Principle
The side Park Distance Control warns of obsta‐
cles next to the vehicle.
Display
Obstacle markings are displayed at the sides of
the vehicle to protect the sides of the vehicle:
▷ Coloured markings: warning that obstacles
have been detected.
▷ Grey markings, hatched surface: no obstacles
have been detected.
▷ No markings, black surface: the area adjacent
to the vehicle has not yet been detected.
Lateral Parking Aid limits
The system only shows stationary obstacles that
were previously detected by the sensors when
driving past.
The system does not detect whether an obstacle
subsequently moves. If the vehicle is stationary,
the markings will be hidden after a certain period
of time. The area on the side of the vehicle must
be newly captured.

Safety note
WARNING
The system may not respond at all, or may re‐
spond too late, incorrectly or without justifica‐
tion due to system limitations. There is a risk of
accident or material damage. Observe the in‐
formation on the system limits and intervene
actively if necessary.

Ultrasonic sensors, see page 50.
False alarms
If the system is approaching its limits, false
alarms may occur.
To reduce false alarms, switch off automatic acti‐
vation of PDC upon detection of obstacles where
necessary, for example in automatic car washes.
Malfunction
A Check Control message is shown.
An icon is displayed on the control dis‐
play.
The detection range of the sensors is not
displayed on the control display.
Park Distance Control failure. Have the system
checked by a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
