the vehicle at the same time, at a distance
smaller than approx. 8 in/20 cm, an alternating
continuous tone will sound between the front
and rear speakers.
Turning off the system automatically
Park Distance Control switches off automati-
cally when driving forward or if a certain dis-
tance or speed is exceeded.

The function for protecting the vehicle sides
only shows stationary obstacles that were pre-
viously detected by the sensors when passing
by.
To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle
markings are displayed on the sides of the ve-
hicle.
Park Distance Control does not detect when
an obstacle moves later. When the vehicle is
stationary, the gray shaded areas on the sides
are hidden after a certain time. The area on
the side of the vehicle must be newly captured.
Display
Depending on vehicle equipment, warnings
may be displayed in front of, next to, and be-
hind the vehicle.
Also follow the information on system limits in
the "Parking assistance systems" chapter.
Unwarranted warnings
Unwarranted warnings may be given if the
system limits of Park Distance Control are
reached.
To prevent unwarranted warnings, for instance
in car washes, turn off automatic Park Dis-
tance Control activation on obstacle detection.

Malfunction
Safety information
If Park Distance Control malfunctions,
the Attention icon appears on the con-
trol display.
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react to
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-
dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the
surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready
to take over steering and braking at any time,
and actively intervene where appropriate.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the sensor
detection range may not be shown on the con-
trol display.
A Check Control message is displayed.
Park Distance Control has failed. Have the ve-
hicle checked by an authorized service center
or another qualified service center or repair
shop.
Active Park Distance Control
Sensors
Active Park Distance Control is controlled by
the following sensors:
Principle
▷
▷
▷
Ultrasonic sensors in rear bumpers.
Ultrasonic sensors at the sides.
Rearview camera.
Active Park Distance Control is the brake func-
tion of Park Distance Control and initiates
emergency braking in the event of an acute
risk of collision.
The system can be used below walking speed
when reversing or coasting backward.
Driving off after emergency braking
After emergency braking to a stop, further
creeping toward an obstacle is possible. Pro-
ceed with caution. To move forward, lightly
press the accelerator pedal and release as
needed.
Due to system limits, a collision cannot be pre-
vented under all circumstances.
Pressing the accelerator pedal interrupts the
brake intervention. Emergency braking is not
performed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed longer,
the vehicle drives off. Manual braking is possi-
ble at any time.
Active Park Distance Control can be tempora-
rily deactivated on the control display, where
you can also change the settings for this sys-
tem.
Deactivating Active Park Distance
Control temporarily
After emergency braking, Active Park Distance
Control can be temporarily deactivated on the
control display. A corresponding message is
displayed.
General information
Follow the information in the "Parking assis-
tance systems" chapter.
Go through the menu as follows: "Configure" /
"Deactivate temporarily".
No further emergency braking will be per-
formed in this situation as you continue driving.

Drive-off monitoring
Functional requirements
The following functional requirements apply for
drive-off monitoring:
Principle
In case of a risk of collision, the start-up mon-
itoring reduces the drive power when driving
off.
▷
▷
▷
▷
Selector lever position D or R is engaged
when the vehicle is stationary.
Obstacles in the immediate vicinity are de-
tected in front of or behind the vehicle.
When obstacles are detected in close range in
front of the vehicle, the acceleration will be re-
duced. If necessary, this permits timely manual
braking.
The accelerator pedal is heavily applied,
nearly to the end point.
The accelerator pedal is immediately ap-
plied after engaging the selector lever posi-
tion and obstacle detection.
When obstacles are detected behind the vehi-
cle, the system will brake.
Drive-Off Monitoring can be activated/deacti-
vated on the control display.
You can cancel reduced acceleration, e.g., by
pressing the accelerator twice.

Principle
Automatic Parking Assistant provides support
when parallel parking and parking transverse
to the road.
In addition, the system makes it easier to
park out of parallel and perpendicular parking
spaces.
A Check Control message is displayed where
applicable.
Depending on national-market version, this
system turns on automatically for the next
drive.
The ultrasonic sensors measure both sides of
the vehicle when driving slowly forward. Suita-
ble parking spaces are calculated based on the
objects detected, e.g., parking vehicles. The
system status is displayed.
Canceling reduced drive power
The reduction of the drive power is canceled in
the following situations:
The system calculates the best possible park-
ing line for driving in or out of parking spaces,
and takes control of the vehicle while parking.

Display
As soon as the system engages, an
icon is displayed with a corresponding
message.
When driving out of parallel parking spaces,
the vehicle maneuvers automatically until it
reaches a position where it can be driven out
of the parking space without further steering
movements.
System limits
When driving out of perpendicular parking
spaces, the vehicle is maneuvered out of the
parking space to enable continued driving in
the desired direction.
General information
Follow the system limits in the "Parking assis-
tance systems" chapter.
A parking maneuver can be interrupted and
continued manually.
Settings can be customized as desired, e.g., to
adjust how parking maneuvers are displayed
or to set a sound for suitable parking spaces.
