Distance of the orientation lines behind the vehicle » Fig. 139
The distance is about 40 cm (safety distance limit).
The distance is approximately 100 cm.
The distance is approximately 200 cm.
The distance between the side lines corresponds approximately to the vehicle
width including mirrors.

Turns off the display of the area behind the vehicle.
Display settings - brightness, contrast, colour.
Switching audible parking signals on/off.
Switching reduced park assistance display on / off.
Change to park assistance display.
CAUTION
The objects shown in the display can be closer or even further away than they
appear. This is especially the case in the following situations.
■
Protruding objects, such as a hitch, the rear of a truck and the like.
■
When driving from a horizontal surface into a slope or a depression.
■
When driving from a slope or a depression onto a horizontal surface.
Note
■
The orientation lines are immobile, and therefore the spacing of the bars be-
hind the vehicle will vary, depending on the vehicle load state and the road in-
clination.
■
If reduced park assistance display is switched off the acoustic signal cannot
be turned off with the button

Park Assist (in the following referred to as the system) helps drivers park in
suitable parallel and perpendicular parking places or also to manoeuvre out of
parallel parking spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements when parking or leaving a
parking space. The driver operates the pedals and the shift lever or gear selec-
tor.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
WARNING
■
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road. Therefore we suggest that
you do not use the system in such situations.
■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people to not be recog-
nised by the system.
CAUTION
■
If other vehicles are parked behind the kerb or on it, the system can also
guide your vehicle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the
wheel rims of your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such
as wire mesh fences or powder snow cannot be recognised by the system.
■
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
high temperatures etc.), the system function may be limited - “incorrect recog-
nition of obstacle”.
CAUTION
The correct evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure de-
pends on the circumference of the wheels on the vehicle.
■
The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size
approved by the manufacturer.
