General information
The system uses the ultrasonic sensors of the Park Distance Control PDC and the Parking Assistant.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment in assessing the traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic and vehicle surroundings closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
Additionally, the safety information for the PDC Park Distance Control and the Automatic Parking Assistant apply.

To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle markings are displayed on the sides of the vehicle.
- Color markings: warning against detected obstacles.
- Gray markings, hatched area: no obstacles were detected.
- No markings, black area: the area next to the vehicle was not yet captured.
Limits of the side parking aid
The system only displays stationary obstacles that were previously detected by sensors while passing them.
The system does not detect whether an obstacle moves later on. If the vehicle is stationary, the markings are shown in black after a certain time.
The area next to the vehicle must be newly captured.
The side parking aid is not available when the trailer socket is occupied or trailer towing is activated.
Additionally, the limits of the systems of the Park Distance Control PDC and the Parking Assistant apply.
