Error messages
If a an error or fault message appears on the
instrument panel in Parking Assist, there is a
fault.
If the fault doesn't disappear before discon-
necting the ignition, it will not be indicated
next time Park Assist is connected.
We recommend taking the vehicle to a special-
ised workshop to have the fault repaired.
Towing device
In vehicles equipped with a towing bracket de-
vice from the factory, when the trailer is con-
nected, Park Assist will not be activated when
reverse gear is engaged.
WARNING
Observe the safety warnings ››› in De-
scription on page231.
Intelligent Park Assist
(IPA) automatic parking
system
Introduction
The automatic parking system is an additional
function of ParkPilot ›››page230 and helps
the driver nd a suitable parking space from
among the following types:
●
park driving in reverse in suitable perpendic-
ular and parallel spaces,
●
park driving forwards in suitable perpendicu-
lar spaces,
●
exit a parking space driving forwards from a
parallel space,
●
park in a suitable space driving forward on
angle partially entering into the selected park-
ing space. The system will centre the vehicle in
the parking space,
●
nish reverse parking into a space in which
you have attempted to park manually by parti-
ally entering with the rear of the vehicle.
In vehicles with an automatic parking system
and factory infotainment system, the front,
rear and side areas are represented, and the
position of obstacles is shown relative to the
vehicle.
The automatic parking system is subject to
certain limitations inherent to the system
and its use requires special attention by the
driver››› .
WARNING
The technology used in the automatic park-
ing system has a series of limitations inherent
in the actual system and in the use of ultra-
sonic sensors. The use of Park Assist should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
compromise safety. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
●
Any accidental movement of the vehicle
could result in serious injury.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
c conditions.
●
Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not reect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect, at least cor-
rectly, these objects or people wearing such
clothes.
●
Ultrasound sensor signals may be aected
by external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
●
The ultrasound sensors may have blind
spots in which obstacles and people are not
detected.
