ing spaces easier.
General information

Steptronic transmission
The Automatic Parking Assistant calculates an
optimal line for pulling out of a parking space
and takes control of the following functions
during the maneuver:

Steering.
▷ Accelerating and braking.
▷ Changing gears.
The vehicle maneuvers automatically until the
vehicle reaches a position in which the driver
can drive out of the parking space without fur-
ther steering movements.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Check surrounding traffic and vehicle's
surroundings closely and actively intervene
where appropriate.
In addition, the safety information for the Park
Distance Control and the Automatic Parking
Assistant apply.
