Parking tips:
R
On narrow roads, drive as closely as possible
past the parking space
R
Parking spaces that are littered or overgrown
might be identified or measured incorrectly
R
Parking spaces that are partially occupied by
trailer drawbars might not be identified as
such or be measured incorrectly
R
Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately
R
Pay attention to the PARKTRONIC
(
Y
page 186) warning messages during the
parking procedure
R
You can intervene in the steering procedure
to correct it at any time. Active Parking Assist
is then deactivated
R
When transporting a load that protrudes from
your vehicle, you should not use Active Park-
ing Assist
R
Never use Active Parking Assist when snow
chains are fitted
R
Always pay attention to the specified tyre
pressure for your vehicle. This has a direct
influence on the parking characteristics of the
vehicle
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces
that are:
R
parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel
R
on straight roads, not bends
R
on the same level as the road, e.g. not on the
pavement
Detecting parking spaces
Objects located above the height range of Active
Parking Assist will not be detected when the
parking space is measured. These are not taken
into account when the parking procedure is cal-
culated, e.g. overhanging loads, tail sections or
loading ramps of goods vehicles.
G
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection range:
R
Active Park Assist may steer too early
R
the vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects
This could cause a collision. There is a risk of
an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and deactivate Active Parking
Assist.
Further information on the detection range
(
Y
page 185).
Active Parking Assist does not assist you with
parking in spaces at right angles to the direction
of travel if:
R
two parking spaces are located directly next
to one another
R
the parking space is directly next to a low
obstacle such as a low kerb
R
you forward-park
Active Parking Assist does not assist you with
parking in spaces that are parallel or at right
angles to the direction of travel if:
R
the parking space is on a kerb
R
the system reads the parking space as being
blocked, such as by foliage or grass paving
blocks
R
the area is too small for the vehicle to
manoeuvre into
R
the parking space is bordered by an obstacle,
e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer
