Active Park Assist
Introduction
Active Park Assist shows parking
spa
ces that are suitable for parking
and assists the driver when driving into
and out of parking spaces.
Active Park Assist is an extended function
of the Parking Sensors.
Active Park Assist steers the vehicle into
a parking space, while the driver operates
the accelerator and brake and changes
gear→ page 200.
WARNING
Active Park Assist is not a substitute for
the full a
ttention of the driver and oper-
ates only within the limits of the system.
Active Park Assist cannot detect all driv-
ing situations and may not react or may
react with a delay or in an undesired way.
If you do not pay due attention, there is
a risk of accidents and serious injuries or
even death.
·
Always pay due attention and do not
rely exclusively on the system. The driv-
er is always responsible for all driving
tasks.
·
Use the foot brake to slow the vehicle
in a hazardous situation.
Available functions
— Displaying a suitable parking space.
—
Selecting a parking mode
— Driving into suitable parallel and bay
parking spaces,
— Driving out of a parallel parking space.
Please also observe the text messages in
the instrument cluster display and the Info-
tainment system.
WARNING
If another function is operated on the In-
fotainment system when manoeuvring
with the parking system, all a
ctive parking
functions, including the acoustic warn-
ings, will be switched o. No warnings are
then given about a collision and no pre-
ventive interventions take pla
ce. This can
result in accidents and serious or fatal in-
juries.
·
Do not operate any other function in the
Infotainment system while manoeu-
vring.
NOTICE
Active Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the
kerb and other objec
ts as guidance. If there
are obstacles that are close to the ground,
this can result in damage to components
located low down on the vehicle such as
tyres and wheel rims.
·
Pay attention to obstacles that are close
to the ground when parking.
·
Brake and end the parking manoeuvre if
necessary.
NOTICE
Any equipment that has been retrofitted to
the vehicle, e.g. bicycle carriers, can prevent
Active Park Assist from functioning proper-
ly and may cause damage.
·
Do not use Active Park Assist if add-on
parts are fitted on the vehicle.
Practise using Active Park Assist in
a trac-calmed area or a car park in
order to familiarise yourself with the sys-
tem and its functions.
Active Park Assist cannot be activa-
ted if the vehicle detects an electrical-
ly connected trailer → page 283.
When carrying out parking manoeu-
vres, the vehicle may be braked if the
driver accelerates too strongly.
Active Park Assist switches itself o if
the driver door, sliding door or the
boot lid are open.
