Active Parking Assist
Function of Active Parking Assist
Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system, which uses ultrasound with
the assistance of the reversing camera and 360°
Camera. When you are driving forwards up to
approximately 35 km/h, the system automati‐
cally measures parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist offers the following func‐
tions:
Vehicles with reversing camera
R
Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road
Vehicles with 360° Camera
R
Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road
R
Parking in parking spaces perpendicular to
the road (optionally either forwards or
reverse)
R
Parking in parking spaces that are delineated
only by markings (for example at the road‐
side)
R
Exiting a parking space parallel to the road
As soon as all requirements are met for search‐
ing for parking spaces, the Ç display appears
in the multifunction display.
When Active Parking Assist has detected parking
spaces, the È display appears in the multi‐
function display. The arrows show on which side
of the road detected parking spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media display.
Vehicles with reversing camera: the parking
space can be selected as desired. The vehicle is
parked in reverse.
Vehicles with 360° Camera: the parking space
can be selected as desired. Depending on the
location of the parking space, the parking direc‐
tion (backwards or forwards) can also be selec‐
ted as desired.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the cal‐
culated path of your vehicle.
The parking procedure is assisted by accelerat‐
ing, braking, steering and gear changes.
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 will be cancelled in the fol‐
lowing situations:

System limits
If the exterior lighting is malfunctioning, Active
Parking Assist is not available.
Objects located above or below the detection
range of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads,
overhangs or loading ramps of goods vehicles, or
the borders of parking spaces, are not detected
during measurement of the parking space. These
are also then not taken into account when calcu‐
lating the parking procedure. In some circum‐
