on the screen because of its low resolu-
tion or poor light c
onditions.
— The cameras show only two-dimensional
images on the screen. The lack of depth
of field means that potholes and pro-
truding objects on the ground may only
be detected with diculty, or may not be
detected at all.
Practise using the parking systems in
a trac-calmed area or car park to fa-
miliarise yourself with the systems and
their functions.
Prerequisites
G
eneral information
The following prerequisites must be met so
that the sensors and cameras are best able
to detect the surroundings of the vehicle
and display this information on the Info-
tainment system:
✓ The doors are closed.
✓ Exterior mirrors are not folded in.
✓ The sensors or cameras are not covered
by add-on parts or trim frames for li-
cence plates.
✓ The surrounding area has a flat surface.
✓ Vehicle does not have a heavy load at
the rear or on one side.
✓ Engine running.
✓ Brake support systems are switched on
→ page 215.
The parking function and the acoustic
warnings will be dea
ctivated if other
functions are operated on the Infotainment
system during a parking operation.
Finding a suitable parking space
Active Park Assist has system-related lim-
its. For example, if you are on a tight bend,
Active Park Assist cannot help you to park
the vehicle or drive out of parking spaces.
To ensure that a suitable parking space can
be displayed and detected correctly, the
following prerequisites must be met:
✓ The length and width of the parking
space must be larger than the vehicle
dimensions and oer sucient spa
ce
for manoeuvring.
✓ Distance when driving past the parking
space: 0.5 to 2 metres (1.6  to 6.5 ).
✓ The speed when driving past the park-
ing space should not exceed 40 km/h
(25 mph) for parallel parking spaces or
20 km/h (12 mph) for perpendicular
parking spaces.
✓ For parking spaces parallel to the road,
the length of the parking space meas-
ures at least vehicle length + 0.8 me-
tres (2.6 ) and for parking spaces per-
pendicular to the road, the width of the
parking space measures at least vehicle
width + 0.95 metres (3 ).
✓ Speed when parking: maximum 7 km/h
(4 mph). Automatic braking interven-
tion can occur.
The parking manoeuvre can be contin-
ued aer the automatic brake interven-
tion.
Automatic brake intervention occurs
a maximum of once per move. A park-
ing manoeuvre will be terminated if
a speed of approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph) is exceeded.
Automatic braking intervention
The automatic braking intervention of
a parking system is designed to reduc
e
the possible damage due to a collision
if an obstacle is detected during the
parking manoeuvre.
Depending on the equipment level, the ve-
hicle has parking systems with a manoeu-
vring or emergency braking function →
.
WARNING
The automatic braking intervention func-
tion is not a sub
stitute for the full atten-
tion of the driver and operates only within
the limits of the system. In some driving
situations, the automatic braking inter-
vention may be restricted or undesired or
there may be no intervention at all. If you
