The parking system plus will help you to park the vehicle by providing acoustic and visual warnings about any obstacles detected.
Sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers. When the sensors detect an obstacle, you are alerted by acoustic signals (beeps) and a graphic display.
Please ensure that the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and any other substances which could impair the function of the system. Notes on cleaning link►.

Acoustic warnings
The acoustic signals sound with increasing frequency as you approach an obstacle which has been detected in the vehicle’s path. A warning tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is less than approx. 0.30 m away from the obstacle. A continuous warning tone will also sound if there is an obstacle less than approx. 0.20 m from the side* of the vehicle; in this case, you should not drive forward or reverse any further ►, ►.
Visual warnings
The visual warnings on the infotainment display help you to see the critical area around the vehicle and to estimate the distance to an obstacle
Fig. 140►.
Red segments represent objects detected within the path of travel. 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. 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 ►, ►!
Note
- The segments in the side zone* are detected and evaluated as the vehicle moves past. When you switch the ignition off and on again or open the door, or after the vehicle has been stationary for a while, the ambient surroundings may have changed. In this case, the side zone* will be displayed in black until it has been scanned and evaluated.
- The volume of the warning beeps will be reduced after a few seconds until it is muted if the vehicle remains at a constant distance from a detected obstacle (but not if the obstacle is closer than 0.30 m). If the tone is muted and the obstacle is closer than before, the tone will sound again. If the tone is muted and the obstacle is further away than before, no tone will sound. Please watch the area surrounding the vehicle when driving off.
- There is no rear or side* distance warning if the system detects that a trailer is being towed. However, the system will still give a warning when obstacles are detected while driving forwards. The proximity graphic will switch over to towing mode. If the towing bracket is not factory-fitted the functions may not be switched off automatically.
