360° view

*

The location of the cameras and their approximate

fields of vision.

The 

360° view

 function activates all Park

Assist Cameras and all four sides of the vehi-
cle are shown in the center display at once to
help the driver see what is around the vehicle
while maneuvering at low speeds.

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

•

Tap the screen to select the camera's field
of vision, e.g. in the area in front/above the
front camera.

The active cameras will be
indicated by a camera symbol
on the vehicle symbol in the
center display.

If the vehicle is equipped with 

Park Assist

System

*

, the distance to detected obstacles

will be illustrated by fields in different colors.

The cameras can be activated automatically or
manually.

Back

The rear camera is located above the license plate.

The rear camera shows a wide area behind the
vehicle. On certain models, part of the bumper
and the towbar (if installed) may be visible.

Objects on the center display may appear to
be leaning slightly. This is normal.

Front camera

The front Park Assist Camera is located in the grille.

The front camera can be useful when pulling
out from areas with limited visibility, such as
when pulling out of a garage. The front camera
is active at speeds up to 25 km/h (16 mph)
and is automatically turned off when the vehi-
cle exceeds this speed.

If the vehicle does not reach a speed of
50 km/h (30 mph) and speed falls below
22 km/h (14 mph) within 1 minute after the
front camera turns off, the camera will be
reactivated.

Park Assist Camera trajectory

lines

*

The Park Assist Cameras (PAC

111

) use trajec-

tory lines and fields on the screen to indicate
the vehicle's position in relation to its imme-
diate surroundings.

Example of trajectory lines

The trajectory lines show the anticipated tra-
jectory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions

based on the current position of the steering
wheel and can help simplify parallel parking,
backing into tight spaces or attaching a trailer.

The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were painted lines on the ground behind the
vehicle and are directly affected by the way in
which the steering wheel is turned. This
makes it possible for the driver to see path the
vehicle will take, even if he/she turns the
steering wheel.

These lines also indicate the outermost limits
that any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, cor-
ners of the body, etc.) extends out from the
vehicle.

NOTE

•

When reversing with a trailer that is
not electrically connected to the vehi-
cle, the screen guide lines show the
path the 

vehicle

 will take – not the

trailer.

•

The screen does not show guide lines
when a trailer is electrically connected
to the vehicle's electrical system.

•

Guide lines are not shown when zoom-
ing in.

CAUTION

•

Bear in mind that when the rearward
camera view is selected, the screen
only shows the area behind the vehicle
– pay attention to the sides and front
of the vehicle when steering while
reversing.

•

The same applies to the reverse – pay
attention to what is happening with
the rear parts of the vehicle when the
front camera view is selected.

•

Note that the guide lines show the

shortest

 path – pay extra attention to

ensure that the vehicle sides do not
come in contact with/travel over any-
thing when steering while driving for-
ward or that the vehicle front moves
toward/over anything when steering
while reversing.

Trajectory lines in 360° view

*

360° view with trajectory lines

In the 360° view, trajectory lines are shown
behind, in front of, or to the sides of the vehi-
cle, depending on the direction of travel.

•

When driving forward: Front lines

•

When backing up: Side lines and rear lines

When the front or rear camera is selected, the
trajectory lines will be shown regardless of the
vehicle's direction of travel.

With a side camera selected, the trajectory
lines will only be shown if the vehicle is back-
ing up.

) can help the driver

maneuver the vehicle when parking. The
function can also assist with steering when
pulling out from a parallel parking space.

The function first checks whether there is suf-
ficient space and then helps the driver steer
the vehicle into the space.

The center display uses symbols, graphics and
messages to inform the driver of what steps
need to be taken and when.

WARNING

•

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

•

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgment. The driver is always respon-
sible for ensuring the vehicle is driven
in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.

pull out of a parking space when the vehicle
is parallel-parked.

NOTE

Leaving a parking space with the 

Park Out

function should only be used in connection
with parallel parking – it does not work for
perpendicular parking.

The 

Park Out

 function is acti-

vated in the center display's
Function view or in Camera
view.

•

GREEN button indicator light – the func-
tion is activated.

•

GRAY button indicator light – the function
is deactivated.

1. Tap 

Park Out

 in Function view or in Cam-

era view.

2. Move the gear selector to the suitable

position (e.g. D or R) for the direction in
which you will be pulling out of the park-
ing space.

3. Be prepared to stop the vehicle when

instructed to do so by a graphic and mes-
sage in the center display. Follow the
instructions in the same way as for the
parking procedure.

Note that the steering wheel can "spring"
back when the procedure is completed and
the driver may need to turn the steering wheel
back to the maximum position in order to pull
out of the parking space.

If the function determines that the driver can
pull out of the parking space without any extra
maneuvers, the function will be deactivated,
even if it seems as though the vehicle is not
completely out of the parking space.

 limitations 

Park Assist Pilot (PAP

121

) may not be able to

detect all conditions in all situations and func-
tionality may therefore be limited.

The driver should be aware of the following
limitations for Park Assist Pilot.

WARNING

•

The parking sensors have dead/blind
spots where objects cannot be
detected.

•

Pay particular attention to people and
animals near the vehicle.

•

Bear in mind that the front end of the
vehicle may swing out towards oncom-
ing traffic during the parking maneuver.

CAUTION

Objects situated higher than the detection
area of the sensors are not included when
the parking maneuver is calculated, which
could cause the function to swing into the
parking space too early. Such parking
spaces should be avoided for this reason.

The parking sequence is cancelled

A parking sequence will be cancelled if:

•

the driver moves the steering wheel

•

the vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h
(4 mph)

•

the driver taps 

Cancel

 in the center dis-

play

•

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

•

when speed-dependent power steering
wheel resistance is working at reduced
power – e.g. during cooling due to over-
heating

•

when, while parking, the parking sensors
detect a vehicle or pedestrian in the vehi-
cle's intended direction of travel behind or
in front of the vehicle, the auto-brake func-
tion will bring the vehicle to a standstill.

A message in the center display will explain
why the parking sequence was cancelled.

CAUTION

Under certain circumstances, the function
may not be able to find parking spaces –
one reason may be that the sensors are
disrupted by external sound sources that
emit the same ultrasonic frequencies that
the system works with.

Examples of such sources include horns,
wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes,
exhaust noise from motorcycles, etc.

NOTE

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make meas-
urement impossible.

Driver responsibility

The driver should keep in mind that the func-
tion is a parking aid 

‒ 

not an infallible fully

automatic system. The driver must always be
prepared to take control and cancel a parking
sequence if necessary.

There are a number of things to keep in mind
when parking, including:

•

The driver is always responsible for deter-
mining if the space suggested by the func-
tion is suitable for parking.

•

Do not use the function when using snow
chains or a temporary spare tire.

•

Do not use the function if there are any
objects protruding from the vehicle.

•

Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's
ability to accurately measure a parking
space.

•

While searching and measuring the park-
ing space, the function may be unable to
detect objects located far into the space.

•

PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect suffi-
cient space for maneuvering the vehicle.

•

Use approved tires

122

 inflated to the cor-

rect tire pressure because this affects the
function's ability to provide parking assis-
tance.

•

The function is based on the way the vehi-
cles are parked behind and in front of your
parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims

122

"Approved tires" refers to tires of the same type and make as the vehicle's original, factory-installed tires.

||

DRIVER SUPPORT

* Option/accessory.

388

could be damaged by the curb during the
parking procedure.

•

Perpendicular parking spaces may not be
detected or may be suggested unneces-
sarily if a parked vehicle is sticking out
more than other parked vehicles.

•

The function is intended to provide park-
ing assistance on straight streets, not sec-
tions of street with sharp curves or bends.
Always make sure that your vehicle is par-
allel to relevant parking spaces when the
function is measuring the parking space.
