Driving
Whenever the obstacle is located in the vehi-
cl
e’s direction of travel, the corresponding
audible warning will sound.
As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the
segments are displayed closer to the vehicle.
When the penultimate segment is displayed,
this means that the vehicle has reached the
collision zone. In the collision zone, the obsta-
cles are represented in red (including those
out of the path). Do not continue to reverse

If equipped with the Top View Camera
Segments are not displayed when the vehicle
is equipped with a Top View Camera.
The Parking Aid system will issue an audible
warning for objects that are near the rear of
the vehicle, and the Top View Camera image
will be available on the screen, giving a real
image of the objects around the car.
Trailer Assist
Introduction
Trailer assist helps the driver to reverse and
manoeuvr
e with a trailer.
By moving the rotary knob of the exterior mir-
rors, the trailer assist directs the trailer that is
hitched. The driver has to accelerate, change
gears and brake!
System limitations
Under certain circumstances, the camera
does not detect objects such as trailer draw
bars, bars, fences, posts or thin trees, or an
open (or opening) rear lid, which could dam-
age the vehicle.
In order to guarantee good system operation,
keep the camera clean, free of snow or ice,
and do not cover it with adhesives or other
objects. Do not allow the draw bar to be cov-
ered by external influences.
Use the trailer manoeuvre assistant only
when the rear lid is closed correctly.
CAUTION
The trailer maneuver assistant does not
t
ake the vehicle’s surrounding as a refer-
ence. No obstacle detection takes place.
The driver alone has to assess whether it is
possible to manoeuvre safely with the tow
vehicle and trailer set.
●
Always observe the movement of the
trailer and, if necessary, actively interrupt
the manoeuvre to avoid damage. Even if
the trailer manoeuvring assistant is operat-
ed correctly, on rare occasions the trailer
may move in a different way to the setting.
●
Do not rely solely on the indications on
the instrument cluster display.
Note
The trailer manoeuvre assistant automati-
cally s
witches off approx. 10 minutes after
being activated. The assistant is also deac-
tivated if the driver does not perform any
action over the course of approx. 3 mi-
nutes.
Requirements
The following requirements must be met for
the tr
ailer manoeuvre assistant to work:
●
The engine is running.
●
The ESC must be connected.
●
The driver's door and the rear lid are
cl
osed.
●
The exterior mirrors are not folded.
●
There is a non-articulated one or two axle
trailer hitched and electrically connected.
●
Both the tow vehicle and trailer are stop-
ped.
●
The maximum bending angle has not been
exceeded.
●
The length of the trailer’s drawbar has been
determined.
