#
In these situations, do not use Active
Parking Assist.
Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately. Parking
spaces that are partially occupied by trailer draw‐
bars might not be identified as such or be meas‐
ured incorrectly. Only use Active Parking Assist
on level, high-grip ground.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations, among others:
R
In extreme weather conditions such as ice,
packed snow or in heavy rain
R
When cornering
R
For parking spaces which are not on the
same level as the road, e.g. not on the pave‐
ment
R
When transporting a load that protrudes
beyond the vehicle
R
When snow chains are installed
Active Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, for
example:
R
Parking spaces where parking is prohibited
R
Parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces
Active Parking Assist will not assist you with
parking spaces perpendicular to the direction of
travel in the following situations:
R
If two parking spaces are located immediately
next to each other
R
If the parking space is immediately next to a
low obstacle such as a curb
R
If you are parking forwards
Active Parking Assist will not assist you with
parking spaces parallel or perpendicular to the
direction of travel in the following situations:
R
If the parking space is on a curb
R
If the system deems the parking space to be
blocked, such as by foliage or grass paving
blocks
R
If the area is too small for the vehicle to
maneuver into
R
If the parking space is bordered by an obsta‐
cle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer
