Parking and maneuvering
Introduction
Depending on the vehicle equipment, various parking aids will help you when parking and maneuvering.
Parking aid The parking aid plus assists you while parking using audio and visual signals to warn you about objects detected in front of, behind, and next to” the vehicle > page 165. The rearview camera shows the area behind the vehicle in the MMI display. The lines in the rearview camera image help you to park and maneuver page 168. The peripheral cameras are an addition to the rearview camera and help you to see various areas around the vehicle while parking and maneuvering page 168. The rear cross-traffic assist can warn you of approaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or exiting a parking space @ page 172. The maneuver assist!) helps the driver to maneuver page 184. Assisted parking The following systems help you to locate suitable parking spaces > page 173 and to park in them and exit them. The driver must always monitor the area around the vehicle and supervise the process of parking or exiting a parking space. Park assist plus!) helps you when parking in available parking spaces and exiting them. This occurs either in the vehicle by pressing a drive button page 176 or, if equipped with Remote park assist plus"), from outside the vehicle by remote control using a mobile device > page 179. The systems control steering, gear selection, acceleration, and braking.
1) system availability may be limited depending on the market.

General information
The parking aid assists when parking and maneuvering by providing warnings about obstacles. If the ultrasonic sensors on the vehicle page 127, >
Parking and maneuvering
fig. 95 detect an obstacle, the system will provide audio and visual warnings. Activating and deactivating Requirement: the vehicle speed must be under approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). > Press the Put or & button @ in the center console.
Automatic activation
> The system activates automatically when reverse gear is engaged while the engine is running.
» If Automatic activation is switched on in the MM1 and if the vehicle approaches an obstacle when driving forward at speeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), the parking aid will activate automatically. Audible signals will sound once the obstacle is within the sensor detection area
» Applies to: MMI: To switch Automatic activation on or off, select on the home screen: VEHICLE > Parking aid > Automatic activ:
Automatic deactivation
The distance indicator for the parking aid plus will deactivate automatically when driving forward faster than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
_ WARNING Observe the safety precautions and note the limits of the assist systems, sensors, and cameras >page 126.
Note Keep enough distance from the curb to avoid damage to the rims.
(@) Tips = If the parking aid is deactivated, it can only
be reactivated automatically when one of the following conditions is met: ~The vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h) = The ignition is switched off and back on again
~The parking brake is set and then released ~The “P” selector lever position is engaged and released again
If the sensors detect an obstacle, audible and visual signals will warn you. Visual warnings The visual warnings in the upper display help you to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate the distance to an obstacle.
Red segments (@) show detected obstacles that are in your vehicle's path. The red lines @) mark the expected direction of travel based on the steering angle. A white segment @) i dicates a detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's path. The closer your vehicle comes to the obstacle, the closer the segments will move to the vehicle. The collision area has been reached when the next to last segment is displayed. Obstacles in the collision area, including those outside of the vehicle's path, are shown in red. Do not continue driving farther. Audio signals The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obstacle, the shorter the time between the audible signals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m) away from the sides* of the vehicle. Do not continue driving forward or in reverse 2@.

—Keep enough distance from the curb to avoid damage to the rims.
~ Applies to: vehicles with assisted parking systems: If you park in short parking spaces using assisted parking systems, a continuous tone will sound from the parking aid when the distance to an object is less than approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m). Do not continue driving farther.
— The segments in the side area* > page 127, fig. 95 are detected and analyzed when passing. There may have been changes to the surrounding area after switching the ignition off and on again, after opening the doors, or if the vehicle is left stationary for a period of time. In this case, the area will appear black until the area has been detected and evaluated.
~ If the distance to an obstacle remains constant, the volume of the distance warning gradually lowers after a few seconds until it is muted (this does not apply to the continu‘ous tone). If the obstacle comes closer than it was before the sound was muted, the tone will sound again. If the obstacle becomes farther away than it was before the sound was muted, no tone will sound. Pay attention to the vehicle's surroundings when you start to drive.

Assisted parking General information
Applies to: vehicles with assisted parking If your vehicle is equipped with park assist plus or remote park assist plus, these systems will help you to find suitable parking spaces. Parking spaces are measured using ultrasonic sensors on the sides of the vehicle. Depending on vehicle equipment, the laser scanner may also improve the measurement.
Ifa parking space is found, the systems will help you to park while the driver monitors the vehicle's surroundings with the parking aids, cameras*, and direct eye contact.
Observe the safety precautions and note the limits of the assist systems, sensors, and cameras page 126.
