Park Distance Control
Introduction to the topic
The Park Distance Control system assists
the driver when manoeuvring and park-
ing.
Fig. 115 On the Infotainment system: obstacle
detection and steering wheel angle for Park Dis-
tance Control (illustration).
Function
Park Distance Control detects the distance
from an obstacle by means of sensors in the
front and rear areas of the vehicle → page 7,
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the park-
ing systems cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the sys-
tem limits. If this is not observed, this can
result in accidents, serious injuries and also
damage to the vehicle.
·
The parking system is not a substitute
for the full concentration of the driver.
Park Distance Control warns about an obsta-
cle by means of colour segments on the Info-
tainment system screen and acoustic signals
→
, → .
NOTICE
Do not drive on! The collision area has been
reached when the penultimate segment is
displayed, if not before.
An automatic braking intervention can take
place if the driver does not react when an ob-
stacle is approaching → page 182.
Also observe the information on the screen
displays of the parking systems → page 181.
Things to note for trailer towing
The rear and side sensors of Park Distance
Control are not switched on if a trailer is elec-
trically connected:
— No warnings are given for obstacles.
— The manoeuvre braking function is also
automatically deactivated.
Park Distance Control settings
When Park Distance Control is switched on,
touch the
function button on the screen
to make further settings, e.g. automatic acti-
vation when driving forwards or manoeuvre
braking.
NOTICE
The vehicle must be moved a few metres for-
wards or backwards in order to scan and dis-
play the side areas in full. An obstacle enter-
ing these areas from the outside will not be
displayed.
