360° view

The "field of vision" of the parking cameras with

approximate coverage area.

The

360° view

function activates all parking

cameras, whereupon the four sides of the car
are shown simultaneously in the centre dis-
play, which helps the driver to observe what is
around the car when manoeuvring at slow
speeds.

From the 360° view, each camera view can
be activated separately:

•

Press the screen for the desired “field of
vision” of the camera, e.g. on the surface
in front of/above the front camera.

A camera symbol on the cen-
tre display's car symbol indi-
cates which of the cameras is
active.

If the car is also equipped
with

Park Assist System

then distance to detected obstacles is illus-
trated with fields in different colours.

The cameras can be activated automatically or
manually.

Backwards

The backwards-facing camera is fitted above the reg-

istration plate.

The backward-facing camera shows a wide
area behind the car. For certain models, part
of the bumper can be seen as well as the tow-
bar in some cases.

Objects shown in the centre display may
appear slightly tilted — this is normal.

Forwards

The forwards parking camera is located in the grille.

The front camera can be helpful on an exit
road with limited visibility to the sides, e.g.
when there are high hedges. It is active at
speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph) - following
which, the front camera is switched off.

If the car does not reach 50 km/h (30 mph)
and the speed falls below 22 km/h (14 mph)
within 1 minute after the forward-facing cam-
era has been extinguished, the camera is reac-
tivated.

Park assist lines for park assist

camera

The Park assist cameras indicate the position
of the car in relation to its surroundings by
displaying lines on the screen.

Example of park assist lines.

Park assist lines show the intended route for
the car's external dimensions with the current
steering wheel angle - this can facilitate paral-
lel parking, reversing into tight spaces and
when connecting a trailer.

The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were at ground level behind the car and
respond directly to steering wheel move-
ments, showing the driver the path the car will
take - also when the car is turning.

These park assist lines include the car's most
protruding parts, e.g. towbar, door mirrors and
corners.

•

When reversing with a trailer which is
not connected electrically to the car,
the park assist lines on the display
show the route the

car

will take – not

the trailer.

•

The screen shows no park assist lines
when a trailer is connected electrically
to the car's electrical system.

•

Park assist lines are not shown when
zooming in.

Park assist camera locations and surveil-
lance areas

•

Remember, that with the rear camera
view selected, the monitor only dis-
plays the area behind the car. Be
aware of the sides and front of the car
when manoeuvring in reverse.

•

The same applies vice versa - note
what happens to the rear parts of the
car when the front camera view is
selected.

•

Note that the park assist lines show
the

shortest

route. Therefore, pay extra

attention to the car's sides so that they
do not go against/over something
when the steering wheel is turned
when driving forward or that the front
sweeps against/over something when
the steering wheel is turned when
reversing.

Park assist lines in 360° view

360° view with park assist lines.

With the 360° view, park assist lines are
shown behind, in front of and at the side of the
car (depending on the direction of travel):

•

When driving forwards: Front lines

•

When reversing: Side lines and reversing
lines.

With front or rear camera selected, the park
assist lines appear regardless of the car's
direction of travel.

With one side camera selected, the park assist
lines only appear when reversing.

Towbar assist line

Park Assist Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

116

) can assist the driver

to manoeuvre the car while parking. The
function can also assist with steering when
driving out from parallel parking.

The function first checks if a space is large
enough and if so then assists the driver to
steer the car into the space.

The centre display indicates with symbols,
graphics and text the various operations to be
carried out and when to do so.

WARNING

•

The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

Parking variants with Park Assist

Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

117

) can be used for

both parallel and perpendicular parking.

Parallel parking

The principal of parallel parking.

The function parks the car using the following
steps:

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned in the space by

means of driving forward/backward.

With the

Park Out

function, a parallel-parked

car can also get help from the function with
leaving the parking space.

Perpendicular parking

Principle for perpendicular parking.

The function parks the car using the following
steps:

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

2. The car is reversed into the space and

then positioned in the space by means of
driving forward/backward.

When leaving a parking space, the

Park

Out

function must only be used for a paral-

lel-parked car - it does not work for a per-
pendicular-parked car.

Using Park Assist Pilot

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

118

) helps the driver

park via three steps. The function can also
help the driver to leave a parking space.

This function measures space and steers the
car – the driver's job is to:

•

keep an eye on what is happening around
the car

•

follow the instructions in the centre dis-
play

•

select a gear (reverse/forward) – an
acoustic signal indicates when the driver
should change gear

•

regulate and maintain a safe speed

•

brake and stop.

Symbols, graphic and/or text appear on the
centre display when the different steps are to
be performed.

The function can be activated if the following
criteria are met once the engine has been
started:

•

No trailer is attached to the car

•

Speed is lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

The distance between the car and parking
spaces should be 0.5–1.5 metres
(1.6–5.0 ft) while the function is searching
for a parking space.

Parking with Park Assist Pilot

The function parks the car using the following
steps:

1. A parking space is identified and meas-

ured.

2. The car is reversed into the space.
3. The car is positioned into the space - the

system may then request that the driver
changes gear and brakes.

Find and measure parking spaces

The function can be activated
in the centre display's func-
tion view.

It can also be accessed from
the camera views.

•

GREEN button indication – the function is

the same way as for the parking proce-
dure.

Note the steering wheel can "spring" back
when the function is completed - the driver
may then need to turn the steering wheel back
to the maximum steering angle in order to
leave the parking space.

If the function considers that the driver can
leave the parking space without any extra
manoeuvring then the function will be stop-
ped, even if the driver may consider that the
car is still in the parking space.

(p. 409)

Limitations of Park Assist Pilot

The Park Assist Pilot (PAP

120

) function cannot

detect everything in all situations and may
therefore have limited functionality.

WARNING

•

The parking sensors have blind spots
where obstacles cannot be detected.

•

Pay particular attention if there are
people and animals near the car.

•

Bear in mind that the front of the car
may swing out towards oncoming traf-
fic during the parking manoeuvre.

Objects situated higher than the sensor
detection area are not included when cal-
culating the parking manoeuvre, which
could cause the function to swing into the
parking space too early – such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.

A driver should be aware about the following
examples of Park Assist Pilot limitations:

Parking is discontinued

A parking sequence will be discontinued:

•

if the driver moves the steering wheel

•

if the car is driven too quickly - above
7 km/h (4 mph)

•

if the driver presses

Cancel

in the centre

display

•

when the anti-lock brakes or the Elec-
tronic stability control are engaged - e.g.
when a wheel loses grip on a slippery road

•

as the steering servo for speed-dependent
steering wheel resistance is working at
reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to
overheating

Where applicable, a message in the centre
display states the reason for a parking
sequence being discontinued.

Park Assist Pilot

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

410

Under certain circumstances, the function
is unable to find parking spaces - one rea-
son for this may be the fact that there is
interference with the sensors from external
sound sources which emit the same ultra-
sound frequencies as those with which the
system works.

Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tyres on asphalt, pneumatic brakes
and exhaust noises from motorcycles etc.

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
will reduce their function and may prevent
measurement.

Driver responsibility

The driver should bear in mind that the func-
tion is an aid – not an infallible, fully-automatic
function. The driver must therefore be pre-
pared to interrupt a parking step.

There are also a few details to bear in mind
while parking, e.g.:

•

The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining whether the space selected by the
function is suitable for parking.

•

Do not use the function if snow chains or
a spare wheel are fitted.

•

Do not use the function if cargo items are
protruding from the car.

•

Heavy rain or snow may cause the system
to measure the parking space incorrectly.

•

During the search and check-measure-
ment of the parking space, the function
may miss objects positioned deep in the
parking space.

•

Parking spaces on narrow streets are not
always feasible, since the space required
for manoeuvring may not be sufficient.

•

Use approved tyres

121

with the correct tyre

pressure - this affects the ability of the
function to park the car.

•

The function bases itself on the locations
of vehicles already parked nearby – if they
are inappropriately parked, your own car's
tyres and wheel rims may be damaged by
contact with the kerb.

•

Perpendicular parking spaces may be
missed or offered unnecessarily if one

parked car is protruding more than other
parked cars.

•

The function is designed for parking on
straight streets – not sharp curves or
bends. For this reason, make sure the car
is parallel to the potential parking spaces
when the function measures the space.
