Parking tips:
R
The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of the
location. It may be the case that Active
Parking Assist guides you too far into a
parking space, or not far enough into it. In
some cases, it may also lead you across or
onto the kerb. If necessary, you should can-
cel the parking procedure with Active Park-
ing Assist.
R
You can also preselect the forward gear.
The vehicle redirects and does not drive as
far into the parking space. Should a gear be
changed too early, the parking procedure
will be cancelled. A sensible parking posi-
tion can no longer be achieved from this
position.
Exiting a parking space
In order that Active Parking Assist can sup-
port you when you exit the parking space:
R
the border of the parking space must be
high enough. A kerb stone is too small, for
example.
R
the border of the parking space must not
be too wide, as the position of the vehicle
must not exceed an angle of 45° to the
starting position as it is manoeuvred into
the parking space.
R
a manoeuvring distance of at least 1.0 m
must be available.
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking space if you have parked the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
X Start the engine.
X Switch on the turn signal in the direction
you are pulling away.
