that yellow guide lines for cornering 2
appear within the space where you
wish to park.

guide lines or is between the yellow
lines, this means that the space in
which you wish to park is wide enough.
As soon as blue guide line
1 for re-
versing in a straight line is parallel to
the space in which you wish to park,
turn the steering wheel to the straight
ahead position.

you wish to park in a line, e.g. in a parking
space parallel to the road.

parked vehicle is on a level with your
rear wheel.

Make sure that the function for parallel
parking is selected in COMAND.
