Information on Hill Start Assist

when pulling away on a hill under the following
conditions:
R
Vehicles with manual transmission: a gear
is engaged.
R

transmission is in position
h
or
k
.
R
The parking brake has been released.
This gives you enough time to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal and
depress it before the vehicle begins to roll.

WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due to the vehicle rolling away
After a short time, Hill Start Assist no longer
holds the vehicle and it can roll away.
#

The seat occupancy recognition on the driv‐
er's seat has detected that the driver has fas‐
tened the seat belt.

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park‐
ing assistance system with ultrasound. It moni‐
tors the area around your vehicle using six sen‐
sors on the front bumper and six sensors on the
rear bumper. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC indi‐
cates visually and audibly the distance between
your vehicle and an object.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the sur‐
roundings. The responsibility for safe manoeu‐
vring and parking remains with you. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects in
the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and
parking in/exiting parking spaces.
In the standard setting, an intermittent warning
tone sounds from a distance of approximately
0.4 m to an obstacle. A continuous tone sounds
from a distance of approximately 0.3 m. You can
set the warning tone in the multimedia system so
that it will sound earlier at a greater distance of
approximately 1 m (

page 163).
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display in the
multimedia system
If the Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display in the
multimedia system is not active and an obstacle
is detected in the path of the vehicle, a pop-up
window for Parking Assist PARKTRONIC appears
in the multimedia system at speeds up to approx‐
imately 10 km/h.
System limitations
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC does not necessarily
take into account the following obstacles:
R
Obstacles below the detection range, e.g. per‐
sons, animals or objects.
R
Obstacles above the detection range, e.g.
overhanging loads, overhangs or loading
ramps of lorries.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush.
Otherwise, they may not function correctly. Clean
