Active Parking Assist

Important safety notes

Active Parking Assist is merely an aid. It is not
a replacement for your attention to your
immediate surroundings. You are always
responsible for safe maneuvering, parking
and exiting a parking space. When
maneuvering, parking or pulling out of a
parking space, make sure that there are no
persons, animals or objects in the area in
which you are maneuvering.

G

WARNING

The vehicle swings out when parking and in
doing so could cross into the opposite lane.
This could result in a collision with another
road user. There is a risk of an accident.
Pay attention to other road users when
parking. Stop the vehicle if necessary or

cancel the Active Parking Assist parking
procedure.

!

If unavoidable, you should drive over

obstacles such as curbs slowly and not at
a sharp angle. Otherwise, you may damage
the wheels or tires.

Active Parking Assist may possibly indicate
parking spaces which are not suitable for
parking, for example:

R

where parking or stopping is prohibited

R

in front of driveways or entrances and exits

R

on unsuitable surfaces

Parking tips:

R

On narrow roads, drive as close to the
parking space as possible.

R

Parking spaces that are littered, overgrown
or partially occupied by trailer drawbars
might be identified incorrectly or not at all.
