Rear Park Assist*
The Rear Park Assist system is an electron-
ic aid designed to assist the driver during
parking maneuvers. It visually and audibly
indicates the relative distance between the
rear of the vehicle and an obstacle.
The Rear Park Assist system is automati-
cally activated when you switch on the ig-
nition and shift the gear selector lever to
position R.
The Rear Park Assist system monitors the
rear area of your vehicle by means of four
sensors in the rear bumper.

Warning! G
Rear Park Assist (rear Parktronic) is a sup-
plemental system. It is not intended to, nor
does it replace, the need for extreme care.
The responsibility during parking and other
critical maneuvers always rests with the
driver.
Special attention must be paid to objects
with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes
(e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts, or
street curbs). Such objects may not be de-
tected by the system and can damage the
vehicle.
The operational function of the Rear Park
Assist can be affected by dirty sensors, es-
pecially at times of snow and ice. See
“Cleaning the Rear Park Assist sensors”
(
୴ page 234).
Interference caused by other ultrasonic sig-
nals (e.g. working jackhammers or the air
brakes of trucks) can cause the system to
send erratic indications, and should be tak-
en into consideration.
Warning! G
Make sure that no persons or animals are in
the area in which you are maneuvering. You
could otherwise injure them.
