The section below describes how to park parallel to the roadside. The procedure for parking perpendicular to the roadside is similar.
Looking for a parking space
Drive slowly forwards past the line of parked cars. For the best parking result, you should maintain a distance of approx. 1 metre to the row of parked cars.
The vehicle first looks for a parking space on the same side of the road. To look for a space on the other side of the road, activate the corresponding turn signal.
Selecting a parking space
When the system finds a parking space which might be long/wide enough for your vehicle, this space is displayed
Fig. 160►.
The system automatically suggests an option for driving into the space.
Please check that the parking space is suitable for your vehicle.
To switch between parallel -A- perpendicular forwards -B- and perpendicular in reverse -C- parking modes, turn the rotary pushbutton to select the desired mode. The system only shows parking modes that are currently possible.
Drive forwards until the instructions for the automatic parking manoeuvre appear on the infotainment display
Fig. 161► ►, ►. A P will appear in the intended parking space as soon as the vehicle reaches the correct position.
To park using the system, follow the instructions on the infotainment display.
The park assist will display a parking space only if it is long and wide enough for the vehicle.
CAUTION
- Even parking spaces which the system has identified as being suitable may not have been detected correctly. It is the driver s responsibility to decide whether a parking space shown in the display is suitable for the vehicle.
- Certain conditions in and around the parking space (e.g. objects such as trees, posts or road surfaces such as loose gravel, snow or ice) can cause unexpected results when parking.
Note
- You can select any one of the parking options found. The potential parking space is displayed until you have driven too far away from it.
- The best parking results will be achieved if you position the vehicle as parallel as possible to the line of parked cars or the kerb before you start the actual parking manoeuvre.
- You can activate the park assist after you have already driven past a parking space (as long as you were driving slowly enough). To do so, press the
button and operate the turn signal.
- If there are suitable parking spaces on both sides of the road (for instance on a one-way street), you can change the direction of the turn signals to park on the other side, even if you have already activated the park assist.
- If you exceed a speed of about 50 km/h, the park assist will be switched off.
