Parking tips:
R
the way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of the
location. It may be the case that Active
Parking Assist guides you too far into a
parking space, or not far enough into it. In
some cases, it may also lead you across or
onto the kerb. If necessary, you should can-
cel the parking procedure with Active Park-
ing Assist.
R
you can also engage forward gear prema-
turely. The vehicle redirects and does not
drive as far into the parking space. Should
a gear be changed too early, the parking
procedure will be cancelled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
