Parking using the parking assistant
Personal responsibility
The parking assistant does not relieve the driver of responsibility for the vehicle during the parking procedure.
Watch the parking space and parking procedure closely and intervene if necessary; otherwise, there is the danger of an accident.
Check the traffic situation as well
Loud sounds outside and within the vehicle can drown out the signal tones of the parking assistant and PDC.
Check the traffic situation around the vehicle with your own eyes; otherwise, there is the danger of an accident.
1. Switch on the parking assistant and activate it if necessary.
The status of the parking space search is indicated on the Control Display.
2. Follow the instructions on the Control Display.
The end of the parking procedure is indicated on the Control Display.
3. Adjust the parking position yourself if necessary.
Notes
▷ The parking assistant takes control of steering for as long as the symbol for active parking appears on the display.
▷ The system maneuvers the vehicle to position it properly in smaller parking spaces, for example.
▷ To achieve the best possible parking position, wait for the automatic steering wheel movement after the gear change when the vehicle is stationary.
▷ When parking in parking spaces on the driver's side, the corresponding turn signal must be set.
Interrupting manually
The parking assistant can be interrupted at any time by:
▷ Grasping the steering wheel and steering yourself.
▷ "Parking Assistant" Select the symbol on the Control Display.
Interrupting automatically
The procedure is interrupted automatically:
▷ If the vehicle speed exceeds approx. 6 mph/ 10 km/h.
▷ On snow-covered or slippery road surfaces if necessary.
▷ If doors are open.
A Check Control message is displayed.
Continuing
An interrupted parking procedure can be continued if necessary.
