Automated Parking System Park Assist

System Functions

The Park Assist system has three functions:

1. Parallel parking: For reversing into a parking space parallel to the vehicle.
2. Perpendicular parking: For reversing into a parking space at a 90° angle to the vehicle.
3. Parking exit: For exiting a parallel parking space.

All Park Assist system messages are displayed on the information display.

Important Notes:

• The driver must maintain full control of the accelerator and brake pedals throughout the parking maneuver.
• Maneuvering performed by the Park Assist system can be canceled at any time by holding/turning the steering wheel or pressing the Park Assist button.
• Parking aid sensors may not detect moving objects, such as children and animals, until they are dangerously close. Exercise extra caution when maneuvering and use mirrors.
• Park Assist sensors may not detect certain obstacles (e.g., narrow posts, small objects near the ground, mesh fences, and in some circumstances, bicycles or motorcycles parked along the roadside).
• All door and tailgate must be fully closed while using the Park Assist system.
• The parking aid system remains active during Park Assist maneuvers and will sound an audible warning if objects are detected near the vehicle.

System Limitations and Troubleshooting

The Park Assist system is intended as an aid and does not relieve the driver of the need to be attentive and operate the vehicle safely. The driver is fully responsible for the safe execution of reversing maneuvers.

The Park Assist system may provide inaccurate results if:

• The size or shape of the parking space changes after measurement.
• There is an uneven curb or the curb is obscured by leaves, snow, etc.
• The vehicle is carrying a load that extends beyond its dimensions.
• The vehicle has undergone repairs or modifications not approved by the dealer/authorized workshop.
• Unapproved wheels or tires are fitted, or there is significant tire wear.
• A parked vehicle has additional equipment in a raised position (e.g., a snowplow, snow blower, or aerial platform).
• The parking space is located at a corner or on a curve.
• Sensors are dirty or covered with mud, ice, or snow.
• The weather is foggy, rainy, or snowy.
• The road surface is uneven, such as gravel.
• A tow bar or trailer hitch is fitted.
• A trailer is connected.
• A thin or wedge-shaped obstacle is detected.
• An upward and/or protruding obstacle is detected (e.g., a protrusion or tree branch).
• An obstacle with sharp edges or corners is detected.

Troubleshooting:

• Park Assist system not searching for a parking space: The system may be deactivated, vehicle speed may exceed 30 km/h (18 mph), or sensors may be obstructed.
• Park Assist system not offering a specific parking space: Sensors may be obstructed, insufficient space for vehicle movement, vehicle too far or too close to parked vehicles, vehicle moving in reverse (search only occurs when moving forward), or unsuitable entry angle.
• Park Assist system parked the vehicle inaccurately: One or more system limitations were encountered.

Surround Camera System

The driver is responsible for identifying obstacles and judging distances when maneuvering.

Access the camera main screen via the Home menu. Select Extra features, then Cameras, and then select the camera icon. To adjust camera settings, select Settings.

Camera Functions:

• Enlarge: Touch an image and then the Enlarge icon to zoom in. Up to two images can be selected and enlarged side-by-side.
• Proximity View: Displays images from the front and side cameras on the passenger side. Automatic Proximity View displays the area in front of or behind the vehicle when the selector lever is moved to D or R. The camera screen closes when the vehicle accelerates to 18 km/h (11 mph) or the return symbol is pressed.
• Special Views: Displays pre-set images to aid complex maneuvering, including Kerb view (side cameras) and Junction view (front cameras).
• Tow Assist: Displays the Tow Assist setup screen.

Notes:

• Camera image quality may vary with lighting conditions.
• Cameras must be kept clear of snow, ice, and dirt for proper operation.

Cruise Control

Cruise Control is not available during Hill Descent Control (HDC) or when a Terrain Response program other than "Grass/Gravel/Snow" (GGS) is selected. Do not use Cruise Control when driving off-road.

Controls:

• SET+: Press to set speed or increase set speed. The cruise control indicator confirms system operation. Speed can also be increased via the accelerator pedal.
• RES (Resume): Press to resume driving at the set speed.
• CAN (Cancel): Press to cancel while retaining the set speed in memory. Cruise control also disengages when the brake pedal is pressed, the selector is moved to neutral, or HDC or Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is engaged.
• (-) Button: Press to decrease the set speed.

Operation:

• System is operated via steering wheel controls. The driver can intervene at any time by pressing the brake or accelerator pedal.
• Cruise Control is deactivated if the driver adjusts the vehicle speed for more than 5 minutes by pressing the accelerator pedal.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead or a set speed when no traffic is present. Speed can be set between 32 km/h (20 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph). ACC is not a collision warning or prevention system and does not react to pedestrians, roadside objects, or oncoming vehicles.

Operation:

• Set Button: Press to set the current speed as the desired speed. Further presses increase the set speed.
• RES (Resume): Press to resume the set ACC speed after it has been deactivated.
• CAN (Cancel): Pull to cancel while retaining the set speed in memory.
• (-) Button: Press to decrease the set speed.
• Distance Buttons (5 & 6): Adjust the following distance in distance-keeping mode.

Distance Keeping Mode:

• ACC does not automatically decelerate to zero speed and may not brake sufficiently to avoid a collision.
• Distance Keeping Mode is an integral function of ACC.
• The vehicle will maintain a constant distance from the vehicle ahead until it accelerates beyond the set speed or moves out of range.
• Brakes will be applied automatically if necessary to reduce speed and maintain distance.
• Driver intervention (braking or accelerating) deactivates ACC.
• If ACC determines its maximum braking is insufficient, an audible warning sounds, and a "DRIVER INTERVENE" message appears.
• ACC will resume the set speed when the road ahead is clear.
• Using the turn signal may reduce the following distance for quicker response to an anticipated maneuver.

Changing Set Distance: Four distance settings are available, indicated by columns on the information display. Default is distance 3. Distance 4 is selected for "Grass-Gravel/Snow" Terrain Response.

ACC Lockout: Pressing the accelerator pedal does not provide braking for distance keeping. Pressing the accelerator pedal while ACC is active cancels the set speed or distance.

Queue Assist: An enhancement to ACC that follows the vehicle ahead to a stop. It is intended for use on highway lanes with minimal steering input. Queue Assist will stop the vehicle and hold it stationary. If the vehicle ahead moves, a brief press of the accelerator resumes ACC. Queue Assist may stop for stationary objects like road signs.

ACC Automatic Disengagement: ACC disengages (settings retained) if CANCEL is pressed, brake pedal is pressed, Neutral (N) is selected, DSC or ETC is engaged, HDC is selected, certain Terrain Response modes are selected, speed difference is too great, accelerator is used for extended periods, maximum vehicle speed is reached, or maximum engine speed is reached. ACC disengages (settings reset) if ignition is switched off or ACC system is faulty.

Resuming ACC: Pressing RES resumes ACC if the set speed is still in memory. Queue Assist resumes above 10 km/h (6 mph).

Driving Tips:

• ACC may signal the need for driver intervention via audible and visual warnings ("DRIVER INTERVENE").
• ACC operates only when the selector lever is in D or S.
• Ensure the accelerator pedal is fully released for normal ACC operation.
• Brake lights illuminate when ACC brakes the vehicle.
• The intelligent stop/start system may operate when the vehicle is stopped by Queue Assist.

Forward Alert: Uses the same radar sensor as ACC. Can be switched on/off via the driver information panel menu. Provides audible warning and "FORWARD ALERT" message if a potential collision is detected. Emergency Brake Assist is activated. Sensitivity is adjustable when ACC is off.

Advanced Emergency Brake Assist: Enhances braking effectiveness during emergency braking if a vehicle is detected at close range ahead. Operates above 7 km/h (5 mph) even if Forward Alert and ACC are off. Automatic braking may occur before the driver applies the brake pedal.

Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB): Reduces collision speed with a slower-moving vehicle ahead if a collision is unavoidable. An audible warning is given, and if a collision is imminent, IEB applies maximum braking. "IEB System Was Activated" message appears, and the system is locked until reset by a dealer.

Terrain Response

Terrain Response allows the driver to select vehicle settings optimized for different driving conditions.

Operation:

• Select programs using buttons on the center console. The selected program icon appears on the information display.
• General Programs (Special Programs Off): Suitable for all road conditions and light off-road use.
• Grass, Gravel, Snow: For surfaces covered with loose, soft, or slippery material.
• Mud-Ruts: For driving through mud, ruts, soft, or uneven patches.
• Sand: For predominantly soft, dry sand or thick gravel.
• Dynamic Mode: Optimizes traction and handling characteristics for spirited road driving.

Driver Mode Selection:

• HDC may activate automatically with some Terrain Response programs. HDC can be manually deactivated or activated.
• DSC engages automatically with special programs but can be manually switched off.

Operational Notes:

• Selecting an inappropriate program can impair vehicle behavior and reduce suspension and transmission life.
• If the system becomes partially inoperative, special programs may not be selectable.
• If an activated system becomes temporarily inoperative, the General Program is automatically engaged.
• Attempting to select an inappropriate special program will cause the relevant indicator to flash amber, with additional information on the information panel.
• If the system becomes fully inoperative, all special program indicators will be off, and a message will be displayed.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)

HDC limits vehicle speed to a set value when descending a steep slope. Do not attempt a steep descent if HDC is not functioning or if warning messages are displayed.

Controls:

• HDC On/Off (1): HDC can be switched on at any speed but only becomes active when speed drops below 50 km/h (31 mph).
• Increase Descent Speed (+ Button) (2): Increases HDC descent speed in 1 km/h (0.6 mph) increments.
• Decrease Descent Speed (- Button) (3): Decreases HDC descent speed in 1 km/h (0.6 mph) increments.

Operation:

• HDC can be used in Drive (D), Reverse (R), and all CommandShift™ gears for automatic transmissions.
• HDC can be used in 1st, 2nd, and Reverse gears for manual transmissions.
• HDC automatically engages with some Terrain Response programs.
• HDC automatically disengages if the ignition is switched off for more than 6 hours.
• If HDC criteria are not met, the HDC warning lamp flashes, indicating the system is on but not active.
• If HDC is switched off during operation, the indicator goes out, and a smooth disengagement occurs.
• If vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h (31 mph) while HDC is active, HDC operation is suspended.
• Pressing the brake pedal during HDC operation will cause pulsation. HDC resumes when the brake pedal is released.
• HDC FAULT SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE message appears if a fault is detected.

Gradient Release Control (GRC): If the vehicle is stopped on a slope with HDC active, GRC engages. When the brake pedal is released, GRC provides a delay and smooth release of the brake to allow the vehicle to move off smoothly. GRC operates in forward and reverse and requires no driver intervention.

Brake Temperature: In demanding conditions, HDC may cause brake temperatures to rise. "HDC TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE" message appears, and HDC becomes temporarily inactive until brakes cool.

Wade Sensing

Wade Sensing is not recommended for off-road driving due to potential delays in warnings. Water depth can increase rapidly when entering water from a steep descent. The system cannot detect water depth if ice or snow is present on the surface. Parking aid does not function when Wade Sensing is active.

Sensors: Located at the bottom of the exterior mirrors. Must be kept clear of snow, ice, dirt, etc. Folded mirrors will result in incorrect readings.

Operation:

• Select Wade Sensing from Extra features or the 4X4i screen.
• The touchscreen displays current water depth and maximum wading depth. Warnings are given as the maximum depth is approached.
• If limits are exceeded, the touchscreen display turns gray, and water depth is not shown.
• Wading is blocked if vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph) or gradient exceeds 10°.

Notes:

• Exterior mirrors must be in the normal (unfolded) position.
• Wade Sensing does not function with fixed side steps but works with side protection tubes.
• Parking aid, automated parking, and intelligent stop/start are deactivated when Wade Sensing is active.

Driver Assistance Systems

Traffic Sign Recognition: Assists the driver by detecting speed limit and no-overtaking signs, displaying them on the information panel. It also detects signs with additional information (e.g., reduced speed on wet roads) and compares them with vehicle systems (e.g., rain sensor). Navigation system data is used where signs are absent. The system operates up to 250 km/h (155 mph). Can be switched on/off via the Vehicle Set-up menu.

• Speed Limit Detection: Displays the relevant sign.
• Speed Warning: A flashing red circle around the speed limit sign indicates if the vehicle's speed exceeds the detected limit (configurable thresholds: at limit, 5 mph/10 km/h over, or 10 mph/20 km/h over).
• No-Overtaking Zone: Displays the relevant sign if detected.

Limitations: May provide incorrect information or malfunction in adverse weather, obscured signs, bright light, dirty windshield, incorrect navigation data, or non-standard road signs.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Assists the driver by alerting them if the vehicle crosses lane markings without the turn signal being activated. Alerts include steering wheel vibration and a graphic warning on the information panel. LDW does not assist with steering or affect vehicle systems. It does not detect road edges without markings. Sensitivity can be set to HIGH or NORMAL. HIGH allows warnings even with driver intervention (unless turn signal is used). NORMAL blocks warnings with driver intervention (except turn signal). An amber warning message indicates a system fault or unavailability.

• Limitations: Operates between 50-180 km/h (30-112 mph) for HIGH sensitivity, 60-180 km/h (40-112 mph) for NORMAL. Lane width must be > 2.5 m (8.2 ft). Not active in off-road conditions or "Sand" and "Mud-Ruts" Terrain Response modes. Affected by adverse road conditions, worn/temporary markings, sharp turns, bright light, or following another vehicle too closely.
