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.
