DRIVER SUPPORT
The side sectors change colour as the distance
between the car and an object is reduced.
Park Assist*
The Parking Assistance System (PAS108) uses
sensors to assist the driver when manoeu-
vring in tight spaces by indicating the dis-
tance to obstacles through acoustic signals
combined with a graphic in the centre dis-
play.
Except in the sector nearest to the car
symbol, audible warnings are only given for
objects directly in the path of the car.
The shorter the distance to the obstacle, the
faster the signal sounds. Other sound from the
audio system is muted automatically.
The acoustic signal for obstacles ahead and to
the sides is active when the car is moving but
stops after the car has been stationary for
approx. 2 seconds. The acoustic signal for
obstacles behind is also active when the car is
stationary.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.

At a distance within approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from
an obstacle behind or in front of the car, the
tone is constant and the active sensor field
closest to the car symbol is filled.
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
At a distance within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft)
from an obstacle To the sides, the tone pulses
intensively and the active sector field changes
colour from ORANGE to RED.

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.

The volume of the parking assistance signal
can be adjusted while the signal is sounding
by means of the [>II] knob on the centre con-
sole. Adjustment can also be performed in the
top view's Settings menu option.
The centre display shows an overview of the
relationship between the car and detected
obstacles.
The highlighted sector indicates the location
of the obstacle. The closer the car symbol is to
a highlighted sector box at the front/back, the
shorter the distance between the car and
detected obstacle.
