Exclusive Parking Assist

Driving assistance systems
Introduction of the New E-Class, Model Series 212 Sedan

The special equipment Exclusive Parking Assist with
code (230) is an extension of the PARKTRONIC system
which now helps the driver in finding a parking space
and provides steering instructions during the parking
procedure. However, it does not park the vehicle by
itself. The system merely gives steering and direction
instructions in the instrument cluster to assist with
longitudinal guidance and lateral control.
Ultrasonic sensors measure potential parking spaces
and suggest them to the driver.

Note
The driver is responsible for estimating the suit-
ability and plausibility of the parking space found,
and for the actual parking.
The parking space search function can merely
detect a free space that is geometrically suitable
for parking; it cannot tell whether this free space
is actually a parking space.
