Press the brake pedal until the parking as-
sist system completes the steering wheel
turns; OR: press the brake pedal until the

Move forward until the continuous ParkPi-
lot signal sounds; OR: move forward until the
reverse indication appears on the instrument
panel display. The Park Assist system steers
the vehicle forward and back until it can exit
the space.
●
The vehicle can exit the space when a cor-
responding message is displayed on the in-
strument panel and, in some cases, an
acoustic signal sounds. Take charge of the
steering with the turning angle set by the
Park Assist system.
●
Paying attention to the traffic, exit the
parking space.
Automatic operation of the brakes by
the parking assist system
Park Assist helps the driver by automatically
braking in certain situations.
The driver is always responsible for braking in
time

.
Automatic braking intervention to avoid
exceeding the speed limit
To avoid exceeding the allowed speed of ap-
prox. 7 km/h (4 mph) when entering or leav-
ing a parking space, the brakes may activate
automatically. After automatically activating
the brakes, the manoeuvres to enter or exit a
parking space may continue.
The brakes are only automatically activated
once for each attempt to enter or exit a
parking space. If the speed of approximately
7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again, the cor-
responding operation is halted.
Automatic braking to reduce damages
Depending on certain conditions, the Park
Assist system can automatically brake the ve-
hicle when faced with an obstacle, briefly ac-
tioning and holding down the brake ped-
al
›››
. Following this the driver must press
the brake pedal.
Automatic braking intervention to reduce
damage leads to the parking manoeuvre fin-
ishing.
WARNING
The automatic braking intervention by Park
Assist should never tempt you to take any
risk that may compromise safety. The sys-
tem is not a replacement for driver aware-
ness.
●
The Park Assist system is subject to cer-
tain limitations inherent to the system. In
certain situations, the automatic braking
intervention may only work in a limited way
or not work at all.
●
Always be ready to use the brakes your-
self!
●
The automatic braking intervention will
end after approximately 1.5 seconds. After-
wards, brake the vehicle yourself.
