The operational function of the Park
Assist can be affected by dirty sensors,
especially at times of snow and ice.
Make sure that the area on the bumpers
around the sensors is free of dirt, ice and/
or slush, otherwise the Park Assist may not
function properly.
For cleaning the driving systems sensors, see
(Y page 406).
!
High-frequency sources such as toll
stations, speed measuring systems, etc.
can cause the Park Assist to malfunction.
You can switch off the Park Assist using the
Park Assist button or switch off the radar
sensors with the instrument cluster control
system to prevent possible malfunction.
The Park Assist is an electronic parking aid
with radar sensors that helps you while
parking. It visually and audibly indicates the
relative distance between the vehicle and an
obstacle.
The Park Assist is automatically activated
when the engine is running and the automatic
transmission is in drive position D, reverse
gear R or neutral position N.
The Park Assist deactivates at speeds over
approximately 10 mph (16 km/h). At lower
speeds the Park Assist turns on again.
The Park Assist is also switched off when you
set the automatic transmission into park
position P or switch off the engine.
While the automatic transmission is in neutral
position N, the Park Assist is switched off if
you secure the vehicle in place with the
electronic parking brake.
The Park Assist monitors the surroundings of
your vehicle with four sensors in the front
bumper and two sensors in the rear bumper.
Range of the sensors
The sensors of the Park Assist are integrated
in the front and rear bumpers. Make sure that
the bumpers are clear of dirt, ice and slush in
the area of the sensors, as otherwise, the
Park Assist may not function properly, see
(Y page 406).
