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.
Exiting a parking space
In order that Active Parking Assist can sup-
port you when you exit the parking space:
R
the border of the parking space must be
high enough at the front and the rear. A
kerb stone is too small, for example.
R
the border of the parking space must not
be too wide, as the position of the vehicle
must not exceed an angle of 45° to the
starting position as it is manoeuvred into
the parking space.
R
a manoeuvring distance of at least 1.0 m
must be available.
