Active Parking Assist
Function of Active Parking Assist
Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system which uses ultrasound and is
automatically activated during forward travel.
The system is operational at speeds of up to
approximately 35 km/h. When all the conditions
are fulfilled, the c symbol appears in the
multifunction display and the system automati‐
cally searches for and measures parking spaces
on both sides of the vehicle parallel and perpen‐
dicular to the direction of travel. If Active Parking
Assist is activated, suitable parking spaces are
displayed in the multimedia system. The ë
symbol appears in the multifunction display. The
arrows show on which side of the carriageway
free parking spaces are located.
The parking space and, if necessary, the parking
direction can be selected as desired. Active
Parking Assist calculates a suitable vehicle path
and assists you in parking and exiting the park‐
ing space.
Active Parking Assist changes gear, accelerates,
brakes and steers the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.
Active Parking Assist is cancelled if, among
other things, one of the following actions is car‐
ried out:
R
You deactivate Parking Assist PARKTRONIC.
R
You deactivate Active Parking Assist.
R
You begin steering.
R

System limitations of Active Parking Assist
Objects located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist are not detected
when the parking space is being measured.
These are also not taken into account when the
parking manoeuvre is calculated, e.g. overhang‐
ing loads, overhangs or loading ramps of lorries
or the boundaries of parking spaces. In some cir‐
cumstances, Active Parking Assist may therefore
guide you into the parking space prematurely.
