Park Assist*

Warning!

Park Assist is a supplemental system. It is not intended to, nor does it replace, the need for extreme care. The responsibility during parking and other critical maneuvers always remains with the driver.

Warning!

Make sure no persons or animals are in the area in which you are maneuvering. You could otherwise injure them.

! Special attention must be paid to objects with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes (e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts, elevated cross- bars or road curbs). Such objects may not be detected by the system and can damage the vehicle.

i USA only: This device has been approved by the FCC as a “Vehicular Radar System”. The radar sensor is intended for use in an automotive radar system only. Removal, tampering, or altering of the de- vice will void any warranties, and is not permitted by the FCC. Do not tamper with, alter, or use in any non-approved way.

! The operational function of the Park Assist system can be affected by dirty sensors, espe- cially 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 Park Assist may not function properly, see “Cleaning the Park Assist* system sensors” (컄 page 559).

! High-frequency sources such as toll sta- tions, speed measuring systems, etc. can cause the Park Assist system to malfunction. You can switch off the Park Assist using the Park Assist button (컄 page 438) or switch off the radar sen- sors (컄 page 272) to prevent possible malfunc- tion.

Park Assist is an electronic parking aid with radar sensors that helps you while parking.

435

Controls in detail Driving systems

When travelling in Canada in a vehicle not registered in Canada, you must switch off the radar sensor system* (컄 page 272). Canadian law does not permit the use of the radar sensor system* (컄 page 272) for vehicles from outside of Canada. When you switch off the radar sensor system*, the following functions are deactivated: 앫 BAS Plus* (컄 page 67) 앫 DISTRONIC Plus* (컄 page 411) 앫 Park Assist 앫 PRE-SAFE® Brake* (컄 page 73) It visually and audibly indicates the relative distance between the vehicle and an obstacle. Park Assist is automatically activated when the engine is running and the trans- mission is in position D, R or N. The Park Assist system deactivates at speeds over approximately 11 mph (18 km/h). At lower speeds the Parktronic system turns on again.

436

Park Assist is also switched off when you set the automatic transmission to P or switch off the engine. While the transmission is in position N, Park Assist is switched off if you secure the vehicle in place with the electronic parking brake. The Park Assist system monitors the sur- roundings 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 system 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 sen- sors, as otherwise, Park Assist may not function properly, see “Cleaning the Park Assist* system sensors” (컄 page 559).

i Due to the sensors’ broad detection range, it is possible that Park Assist also detects the fol- lowing obstacles and issues a warning: 앫 obstacles in the ground, e.g. sewer canal covers, rails, bumps in the road or gutters

앫 obstacles moving upward quickly, e.g. rolling

As soon as the first red distance seg- ment comes on, you will hear an inter- mittent warning tone for approximately 2 seconds. Once the second red dis- tance segment comes on, you will hear a continuous warning tone. You have reached the minimum distance.

앫 Rear area:

As soon as the first red distance seg- ment comes on, you will hear an inter- mittent warning tone for approximately 2 seconds. Once the second red dis- tance segment comes on, you will hear a continuous warning tone. You have reached the minimum distance.

i During strong rainfall, the warning indicators and warning tones may be triggered, for exam- ple, by water splashing into the area of the sen- sors.

438

Collision warning Park Assist can detect obstacles from a considerable distance. If you drive in re- verse towards an obstacle, you will hear a warning tone. You must then brake in or- der to avoid a collision. The warning tone for a collision will not sound when the vehi- cle is at a standstill very close to the obsta- cle. In this case, you will hear a corresponding tone for the warning indica- tor in the rear area.

i During strong rainfall, the collision warning may be triggered, for example, by water splash- ing into the area of the sensors.

Switching Park Assist system on/off The Park Assist system can be switched off manually. The Park Assist button with the indicator lamp is located on the control panel on the right-hand side of the instrument cluster.

Dynamic Rear View Monitor*

The Dynamic Rear View Monitor is an elec- tronic and visual parking aid. It shows you the area behind the vehicle on the COMAND display. In addition, the Dynamic Rear View Moni- tor contains guide lines to help you with re- verse parking (back-in parking) and parallel parking. The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a reverse-mirror image similar to the view in a rear-view mirror.

i The Dynamic Rear View Monitor is also called “Park Assist” in COMAND display.

Controls in detail Driving systems

Warning!

Please note that objects which do not touch the ground, such as the bumper of a vehicle parked behind you, a trailer hitch, or the back of a truck, may appear to be further away than they actually are. In this case, you should not use the guide lines to judge dis- tance. The use of the guide lines to judge distance increases the risk of impacting the objects.

Warning!

The Dynamic Rear View Monitor is a supple- ment system. It is not intended to, nor does it replace, the need for extreme care. The re- sponsibility during parking and other driving maneuvers always remains with the driver.

The Dynamic Rear View Monitor may show obstacles with a distorted perspective, in- correctly or not at all.

440

Special attention must be paid to objects outside of the camera’s field of view such as those located very close to or below the rear bumper, or above the recessed grip of the luggage compartment lid. Such objects may not be detected by the system and can dam- age the vehicle.

The Dynamic Rear View Monitor does not warn you about impending collisions with objects. The driver is always responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention to the immediate surroundings while parking or maneuvering the vehicle. This applies not only to the area behind the vehicle, but also to the area in front of and to the sides of the vehicle. Failure to do so could result in injury to persons and/or damage to the vehicle or other property. We also recommend that the driver use the Parktronic system* or Park Assist* when parking or maneuvering the vehicle.

Warning!

Make sure no persons or animals are in the area in which you are maneuvering. You could otherwise injure them.

Warning!

The Dynamic Rear View Monitor may not function if: 앫 the trunk lid is not completely closed 앫 it is raining or snowing heavily, or if

there is thick fog 앫 in a very dark area 앫 the camera is exposed to very strong

white light (white stripes may appear on the COMAND display)

앫 the surrounding area is lit with fluores-

cent light (the COMAND display can flicker)

앫 outside temperatures are very high (lens

condensation)

앫 there is a sudden change in tempera-

ture, for example when you drive out of the cold into a heated garage in winter (lens condensation)

앫 the camera lens is dirty or covered, see

“Cleaning the Dynamic Rear View Monitor lens*” (컄 page 560)

앫 the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this case, have the position and setting of the camera checked by a qualified technician. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Do not use the Dynamic Rear View Monitor if the roads are icy, slippery or covered with snow. The vehicle could slip causing the ac- tual vehicle position to deviate from the one shown on the COMAND display.

This may cause injury to you or others, or damage the vehicle or objects.

Mounting tires/rims of other specification than the original equipment tires/rims may impair the function of the Dynamic Rear View Monitor. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Warning!

Use of Dynamic Rear View Monitor can be dangerous if you are color-blind or have im- paired color vision.

Only use Dynamic Rear View Monitor if you can see and distinguish all colored guide lines shown by Dynamic Rear View Monitor on the COMAND display.

Night View Assist*

Warning!

Night View Assist is only an aid to support you while driving and cannot substitute your careful attention. Do not rely on the display of the Night View Assist; instead, continue to look through the windshield. You are al- ways responsible for safety and must drive in accordance with traffic conditions. Other- wise, you could endanger yourself and oth- ers.

If it is foggy, raining or snowing, the clarity of the Night View Assist image on the multi- function display may be diminished.

Night View Assist illuminates the road with infrared light in addition to the normal headlamps. A camera at the top of the windshield mea- sures the infrared light and shows a black-and-white image on the multifunc- tion display.

446

The image on the multifunction display cor- responds to a road lit up by high-beam headlamps.

Warning!

Night View Assist cannot record objects im- mediately in front of or next to the vehicle. When maneuvering, continue to look through the windshield. Make sure no per- sons or animals are in the area in which you are maneuvering. You could otherwise in- jure them.

The Night View Assist image on the multi- function display is not impaired 앫 by the headlamps of approaching vehi-

cles

앫 if you cannot switch on the high beams

due to oncoming traffic

As a result, you can better follow the course of the road and detect obstacles earlier on.

i Infrared light is invisible to the human eye and can therefore remain permanently switched on without blinding oncoming traffic.

The camera is at the top of the windshield.

You can operate the climate control system in ei- ther the automatic or manual mode. The system cools or heats the interior depend- ing on the selected interior temperature and the current outside temperature. It can only function optimally when you are driving with the windows and the tilt/slid- ing sunroof closed. It is possible to completely deactivate the climate control system (컄 page 455).

454

Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and odors are filtered out before outside air en- ters the passenger compartment through the air distribution system.

Warning!

Follow the recommended settings for heat- ing and cooling given on the following pages and in the “COMAND automatic climate control” section (컄 page 244). Otherwise the windows could fog up, impairing visibili- ty and endangering you and others.

i Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution) may require replacement of the filter before its scheduled interval. A clogged filter will reduce the air volume to the interior. If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the interior before driving off, see “Summer opening fea- ture” (컄 page 376). The automatic climate con- trol will then adjust the interior temperature to the set value much faster. Keep the air intake grille in front of the wind- shield free of snow, leaves, sticks, and any other debris.
