Active Parking Assist
Function of Active Parking Assist
% The availability of this function is dependent
on the country.
Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system that automatically searches
for and measures parking spaces on both sides
of the vehicle when traveling forwards up to
approx. 22 mph (35 km/h).
If all requirements are met, the Ç display
appears in the multifunction display. The system
then independently locates and measures paral‐
lel and perpendicular parking spaces on both
sides of the vehicle.
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. The
parking space and, if necessary, the parking
direction can be selected as desired. When
Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn signal
indicators are activated based on the calculated
path of your vehicle and the function assists you
when parking or leaving a parking space by
changing gear, accelerating, braking and steer‐
ing the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
maneuvering range.

Active Parking Assist is canceled:

System limits
Objects located above or below the detection
range of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads, tail
sections 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‐
stances, Active Parking Assist may therefore
guide you into the parking space incorrectly.
