In order to be detected by Advanced Park-
ing Guidance, a parking space must be:
앫
closed-in at the rear
앫
parallel to the direction of travel
앫
at least 5 ft (1.5 m) wide
앫
at least 3.5 ft (1.0 m) longer than your
vehicle
A parking space is shown in the display
when driving by until you have reached a
distance of 50 ft (15 m) from the space.
Advanced Parking Guidance only shows
parking spaces on the front-passenger
side of the vehicle unless you activate the
driver's side (left) turn signal. If you would
like to park on the driver's side, the left
turn signal must remain on until reverse
gear is engaged. Parking
The following describes how you can park
on the front-passenger side. Parking on
the driver's side is performed reversed left
to right.
If Advanced Parking Guidance detects an
obstacle behind the vehicle during the
parking procedure, you will hear an audible
warning. Stop the vehicle immediately. The
parking space and the lane blink in the in-
strument cluster. Only continue driv-
ing/parking after you have made sure that
this is possible to do in a safe manner. If
Advanced Parking Guidance no longer de-
tects any obstacles, the display in the in-
strument cluster stops blinking. You may
continue the parking procedure.
