Parking tips:
R
The way your vehicle is positioned in the park-
ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front and
behind it and the conditions of the location. It
may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into a parking space, or not
far enough into it. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the kerb. In this case,
cancel the active parking assistance.
R
You can also engage 1st gear or transmission
position D prematurely. The vehicle redirects
and does not drive as far into the parking
space. If you change direction too early, park-
ing assistance is cancelled and Active Parking
Assist is stopped. It is then not possible to
achieve a sensible parking position from the
current position.
Exiting a parking space
In order that Active Parking Assist can assist you
when exiting the parking space:
R
the border of the parking space must be high
enough at the front and the rear. A kerb stone
is too small, for example.
R
the border of the parking space must not be
too wide. Your vehicle can be manoeuvred
into a position at a maximum of 45° to the
starting position in the parking space.
R
a manoeuvring distance of at least 1.0 m must
be available.
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking space if you have parked the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: if
PARKTRONIC detects obstacles, Active Parking
Assist brakes automatically when exiting from
the parking space. You are responsible for brak-
ing in good time.
