Objects located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist, such as overhang-
ing 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 calculating the parking procedure. In some
circumstances, Active Parking Assist may there-
fore guide you into the parking space prematurely
or brake too late.
Certain environmental conditions, such as snow-
fall or heavy rain, may lead to a parking space
being measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that
are partially occupied by trailer drawbars might
not be identi ed as such or be measured incor-
rectly. Only use Active Parking Assist on level,
high-grip ground.
