Description of the parking assist sys-
tem
The components of the Park Assist system are
the ultrasonic sensors located in the front and
rear bumpers, the button to switch the sys-
tem on and o and the messages on the instru-
ment panel display.
Prerequisites for parking
●
The traction control (TCS) must be switched
on ›››page188.
●
Speed when passing next to the parking
space: do not exceed approx. 50km/h
(31mph).
●
Keep a distance between 0.5 and 2.0me-
tres when driving past the parking space.
●
Space length (parallel parking): vehicle
length + 0.8 metres.
●
Space width (parking bay): vehicle width
+ 0.8 meters.
●
Do not exceed approximately 7 km/h
(4mph) when parking. The vehicle will perform
an automatic braking only once if this speed is
exceeded. If you exceed the speed more than
once, the Park Assist system switches o.
Requirements for leaving the parking space
(only for parallel parking)
●
The traction control (TCS) must be switched
on ›››page188.
●
Space length: length of the vehicle
+ 0.5 metres.
●
Do not exceed approximately 7 km/h
(4mph) when exiting the parking space.
Prematurely stopping or automatically in-
terrupting the manoeuvres for parking or ex-
iting a parking space
Park Assist interrupts the manoeuvres for park-
ing or exiting a parking space in any of the fol-
lowing cases:
●
Press button in the infotainment system,
> Assistants > Parking > Park assist system.
●
When exceeding a speed of approximately 7
km/h (4mph) more than once.
●
The driver takes control of the steering wheel.
●
The parking manoeuvre does not end within 6
minutes after activation of the automatic steer-
ing.
●
There is a fault in the system (the system is
temporarily unavailable).
●
TCS is switched o.
●
TCS or ESC intervene with regulation.
●
The driver door is opened.
To restart the manoeuvre it is necessary that
none of these things occur and that the
button on the infotainment system is pressed
again.
Automatic braking intervention to avoid ex-
ceeding the speed limit
To avoid exceeding the allowed speed of ap-
prox. 7km/h (4mph) when entering or leaving
a parking space, the brakes may activate au-
tomatically. After automatically activating the
brakes, the manoeuvres to enter or exit a park-
ing 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 7km/h
(4mph) is exceeded again, the corresponding
operation is halted.
Special characteristics
The Park Assist system is subject to certain limi-
tations inherent to the system. For example, it is
therefore not possible to use it to enter or exit a
parking space on sharp bends or on very steep
hills.
While entering or exiting a parking space, a
brief signal sounds to prompt the driver to
change between forward and reverse gears
(depending on the case). In successive ma-
noeuvres, the assistant tells the driver to
change gears, at the latest, when the continu-
ous audible signal is given (object present at a
distance of ≤30cm) by Park Pilot.
