Applies to: vehicles with park assist
The park assist helps the driver to manoeuvre the vehicle into and out of parking spaces.
- Fig. 168 Diagram: -A- parking in reverse parallel to the roadside, -B- parking in reverse perpendicular to the roadside
- Fig. 169 Diagram: -C- parking forwards perpendicular to the roadside without driving past, -D- parking forwards perpendicular to the roadside after driving past
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking spaces and to manoeuvre the vehicle into them. You can reverse into a parking space either parallel -A- or perpendicular -B- to the roadside or drive forwards out of a parallel space. In addition, you can drive forwards into a perpendicular parking space if you have already positioned the front of the vehicle in the space -C- or have already driven past the space -D-. In the case of -D-, the vehicle reverses -1-, manoeuvres into the correct position and drives forwards into the parking space -2-.
The parking space can be located between two vehicles or behind one vehicle. The park assist takes over the steering while the driver is parking the vehicle in the usual way.
The park assist includes the functions of the parking system plus link►, which assists you during the parking manoeuvre.
The park assist sensors are located on the sides of the front and rear bumpers. Please ensure that the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and any other substances which could impair the function of the system. Notes on cleaning link►.
In short parking spaces, the parking aid warning tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is less than approx. 0.20 m away from the obstacle. Stop moving immediately!
- Please observe the safety warnings ►.
- Please note that the park assist only handles the steering. As the driver you are always responsible for braking and accelerating.
- It is the driver s responsibility to decide whether a parking space shown in the display is suitable for the vehicle.
- The front of the vehicle swings out during the parking manoeuvre. Please take all necessary measures to ensure that other road users are not endangered.
- The steering wheel turns rapidly on its own when parking the vehicle and leaving the space. Injury may result if a person reaches between the spokes on the steering wheel when it is turning.
- Please observe the safety warnings ►.
- In certain situations, the park assist will guide the vehicle onto or across the kerb, for instance if other vehicles are parked on the kerb. You should always be ready to take over the steering wheel in order to prevent damage to the tyres and/or wheel rims.
- Certain conditions in and around the parking space can cause unexpected results when parking.
- Pillars, posts, etc.
- Loose gravel, snow, ice, etc.
Note
- The electronic stabilisation control (ESC) must not be switched off during the parking manoeuvre link►.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the vehicle on tight bends.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the vehicle if a trailer is attached or an electrical connector is plugged into the trailer socket.
