• Changes have been made to the paintwork around the camera or the construction has been
modified, e.g. vehicle front end or the running gear.
Response to all circumstances
• Switch off the system temporarily.
• Check whether any of the causes described below apply.
• You can switch the system back on again once you have rectified the cause of the problem.
• If the system still fails to respond as expected, have the system checked by a qualified
workshop.

Park Assist shows parking spaces
which are suitable for parking and
assists the driver when driving into and
out of parking spaces.
Park Assist is an extension of Park Distance Control
⇒
Park Distance Control
.
Park Assist automatically steers the vehicle. The driver must control the accelerator, gear changes
and brake!
Driving into a parking space using Park Assist takes place in the following steps:
• Look for a parking space.
• Drive into a parking space.
System limits
The sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences,
posts, trees and open or opening boot lids. This can result in damage to your vehicle.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors could be registered as an obstacle.
Prerequisites
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
⇒
Introduction
The following prerequisites must be met for driving into and out of parking spaces:
• The traction control system (TCS) must be switched on
⇒
Brake support systems
.
• Distance: maintain a distance of
0.5 – -2.0 metres
when driving past the parking space.
• The parking space must have at least the dimensions required by Park Assist.
• Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces parallel to the road): not above
40 km/h (25 mph)
.
• Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces perpendicular to the road): not
above
20 km/h (12 mph)
.
• Maximum speed:
7 km/h (4 mph)
. An automatic braking intervention can take place when
driving into a parking space.
The parking manoeuvre can be continued after the automatic brake intervention.
Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
• During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted
to do so by the system.
• Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.
WARNING
Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerb and other objects as guidance. Please ensure
that the wheels and tyres are not damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessary, stop the
parking procedure in good time to prevent damage to the vehicle.
