Assisted parking
General information
Applies to: vehicles with assisted parking
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with park assist plus or
remote park assist plus, these systems will help
you to find suitable parking spaces. Parking
spaces are measured using ultrasonic sensors on
the sides of the vehicle. Depending on vehicle
equipment, the laser scanner may also improve
the measurement.
– Observe the safety precautions and note the
limitations of the assist systems, sensors,
and cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.
– The rear cross-traffic assist will not provide
alerts about people and cannot warn you
about every type of approaching object,
such as bicycles. Always monitor the traffic
situation as well as the vehicle's surround-
ings with direct eye contact.
If a parking space is found, the systems will help
you to park while the driver monitors the vehi-
cle's surroundings with the parking aids, cam-
eras*, and direct eye contact.
– The system may not respond at all or it may
not respond at the right time when objects
are approaching very quickly.
– Rear cross-traffic assist will not provide
alerts if your vehicle is parallel parked or
pulled too far into the parking space so that
it is hidden by adjacent vehicles.
WARNING
Observe the safety precautions and note the
limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.
Tips
– Once an automatic brake activation occurs,
the system cannot initiate another activa-
tion for several seconds.
– System functions may not be available if the
ESC is limited or turned off, or if there is a
malfunction.
– If there is an audio warning signal from the
rear cross-traffic assist, then the parking aid
may not be able to provide audio warnings
about detected obstacles under certain cir-
cumstances.
