Applies to vehicles: with parking system plus with reversing camera
Parking mode 2 can be used when parking your vehicle at the roadside.
The following steps apply only when there are no obstacles (such
as a wall) next to the parking space. Otherwise, please follow the
"Instructions for parking next to obstacles"
Link.
Operate the turn signal.
Position your vehicle parallel to the roadside, about a metre away
from the next parked vehicle.
Switch on the MMI and select reverse gear. The parking aid will
be switched on and parking mode 1 will be displayed.
Press control button -1-
Fig. 1 on the
MMI control console. Parking mode 2 is displayed.
Reverse and align your vehicle in such a way that the blue area
marking -2- borders onto the vehicle behind or onto the parking
space line marking. The blue marking is an extension of the vehicle
outline and reaches about five metres to the rear of the vehicle.
The long side of the blue marking should border onto the kerb. The
complete blue area marking must fit into the parking space.
When the vehicle is stationary turn the steering wheel to the right
as far as it will go.
Reverse into the parking space until the blue curve touches the
kerb Fig. 2.
Stop the vehicle.
When the vehicle is stationary turn the steering wheel to the left
as far as it will go.
Parking next to obstacles
If an obstacle (such as a wall) is located next to the parking
space, the clearance at the side of the vehicle must be larger.
Position the long side of the blue marking so that there is
sufficient clearance from the kerb. The marking must not touch
the kerb. You must also start turning the steering wheel much
earlier. The blue curve
Fig. 2 must
not touch the kerb - make
sure there is sufficient clearance from the kerb.
- The reversing camera does not show the complete area behind the vehicle Fig. 3. It is particularly important to ensure that there are no small children or animals near the vehicle, as the reversing camera may not always be able to detect them (accident risk).
- Please note that objects which are not touching the ground may appear to be further away than they actually are (e.g. the bumper of a parked vehicle, a towing bracket or the rear end of a truck). In this case you should not use the orientation lines as a guide when parking the car - accident risk!
The MMI display shows the path of the rear end of the vehicle if
you were to reverse using the current steering angle. NB: The front
end of the vehicle swings out further than the rear. Please make
sure you keep a sufficient distance between the vehicle and any
obstacles to make sure that the exterior mirror or edge of the vehicle
do not collide with the obstacle (accident risk).
Note
The orientation lines and markings appear on the left or right side,
depending on which turn signals are on.
