Parking Pilot
General notes
Parking Pilot is an electronic parking aid with
ultrasound. It measures the road on both sides
of the vehicle. A parking symbol indicates a suit-
able parking space. Active steering intervention
and brake application can assist you during
parking and when exiting a parking space. You
can also still use Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
(
Y
page 191).
Important safety notes
Parking Pilot is only an aid. It is not a replace-
ment for your attention to your immediate sur-
roundings. You are always responsible for safe
maneuvering, parking and exiting a parking
space. Make sure that no persons, animals or
objects are in the path of your vehicle.
When Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactiva-
ted, Parking Pilot is also unavailable.
For vehicles with a trailer tow hitch installed, the
minimum length for parking spaces is slightly
longer.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle, you
should not use Parking Pilot. Once the electrical
connection is established between your vehicle
and the trailer, Parking Pilot is no longer availa-
ble. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated
for the rear area.

WARNING
While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane. This could
result in a collision with another road user.
There is a risk of an accident.
Pay attention to other road users. Stop the
vehicle if necessary or cancel the Parking Pilot
parking procedure.
!
If they cannot be avoided, drive over obsta-
cles such as curbs slowly and at an obtuse
angle. Otherwise, you may damage the
wheels or tires.
Parking Pilot may also display spaces not suita-
ble for parking, e.g.:
R
where parking or stopping is prohibited
R
in front of driveways or entrances and exits
R
on unsuitable surfaces
Parking tips:
R
On narrow roads, drive as close to the parking
space as possible.
R
Parking spaces that are littered or overgrown
might be identified or measured incorrectly.
R
Parking spaces that are partially occupied by
trailer drawbars might not be identified as
such or be measured incorrectly.
R
Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately.
R
Pay attention to the warning messages of
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC during the park-
ing procedure (
Y
page 193).
R
You can intervene in the steering procedure
to correct it at any time. Parking Pilot is then
canceled-
R
When transporting a load that protrudes from
your vehicle, you should not use Parking Pilot-
R
Never use Parking Pilot when snow chains are
mounted.
R
Always pay attention to the specified tire
pressure for your vehicle. This has a direct
influence on the parking characteristics of the
vehicle.
Use Parking Pilot for parking spaces that are:
R
parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel
R
on straight roads, not bends
R
on the same level as the road, e.g. not on the
pavement
Detecting parking spaces
Objects located above the detection range of
Parking Pilot will not be detected when the park-
ing space is measured. These are not taken into
account when the parking procedure is calcula-
ted, e.g. overhanging loads, tail sections or load-
ing ramps of trucks. Parking Pilot may therefore
guide you into the parking space too early.
G
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection range:
R
Parking Pilot may steer in too early
R
the vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects
You may cause a collision as a result. There is
a risk of an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and deactivate Parking Pilot.
