The automatic braking intervention takes place a maximum of once per parking manoeuvre. The
parking manoeuvre will be cancelled if a speed of approximately 7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again.
Automatic cancellation of driving in/out of a parking space
Park Assist cancels the manoeuvre for driving into or leaving a parking space if one of the following
situations occurs:
• The
button is pressed.
• The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
• The driver door is opened.
• The parking operation is not completed within around six minutes.
• There is a system fault.
• TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.
Automatic braking intervention to minimise damage
In some countries, Park Assist can assist the driver with an automatic braking intervention in certain
situations
⇒
.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and certain conditions, e.g. weather, load or inclination of the
vehicle, Park Assist can automatically brake the vehicle before an obstacle. Following this
intervention, the driver must depress the brake pedal. An automatic braking intervention is activated
to minimise damage and ends the parking manoeuvre.

Introduction
Park Assist has three parking modes

Reverse parallel parking.
Reverse perpendicular parking.
Forward perpendicular parking.
• Drive slowly past a row of parked vehicles, paying attention to the traffic.
• Press the
button. Park Assist automatically searches for a suitable parking space on
the front passenger side.
• Stop when Park Assist displays a recommended parking mode on the instrument cluster
display.
• Drive into the parking space when a corresponding prompt

Driving into a parking space
.
If you want Park Assist to search for a parking space on the opposite side of the road, operate the
turn signal for the corresponding side.
Changing parking mode
If Park Assist has found other alternative parking modes, these will be displayed in a miniature
view. You can select these successively by pressing the
button. Park Assist will switch
itself off after selection of all found parking modes. The originally recommended parking mode is
offered when the
button is pressed again.
Forward perpendicular parking
If you wish to drive forwards into a perpendicular parking space, select the parking mode Forward

by pressing the
button (if found by Park Assist).
Do not let the Park Assist braking intervention function tempt you to take any risks while
driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
• Park Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, the automatic braking
intervention function is only able to intervene in a limited way or not at all.
• You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
• The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Depress
the brake pedal of the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.
