Switching on/off
Press the button in the centre console. You will hear a brief acknowledgement tone and the LED in the button will light up.
Switching on automatically
The system is switched on automatically when the engine is running and reverse gear is selected. You will hear a brief acknowledgement tone.
The parking aid emits acoustic signals when the vehicle approaches an obstacle at under 10 km/h. The acoustic signals are not emitted until the obstacle is well within range of the sensors.
Switching off automatically
The system is switched off automatically when you drive forwards at over 10 km/h.
Segments in the graphic display
You can estimate the distance to an obstacle by referring to the segments in front of and behind the vehicle or the segments surrounding the vehicle (on vehicles with park assist*) Fig. 174►. The red lines* indicate the anticipated path of the vehicle, depending on the steering wheel angle. A white segment indicates an obstacle that has been detected beyond the path of travel. Red segments represent objects detected within the path of travel. The closer the vehicle gets to the obstacle the closer the segments move towards the vehicle in the graphic. At the latest when the penultimate segment is highlighted the vehicle has reached the danger (collision) zone. Obstacles within the danger (collision) zone are shown in red, even if they are beyond the path of travel. Stop moving immediately ►, ►!
