search appears and the symbol indicates
that a parking space search is active.
Drive slowly forwards past the line of parked
cars. For the best parking result, you should
maintain a distance of approx. 1 metre to the
row of parked cars.
Select a different suggested parking space or a
different parking option 3 on the centre dis-

Starting the parking manoeuvre
The parking space search looks for a suitable
parking space on both sides of the road simulta-
neously.
Important: The parking space must be indicated
with a P on the centre display, the vehicle must
be stationary and the brake pedal must be press-
ed.
The system also searches for suitable parking
spaces in the background even when the parking
space search function is not activated if you do
not drive past the spaces too fast. This means
that you can also activate the system if you have
already driven past a suitable parking space.

Brake to a standstill.
– The sensors and cameras have certain areas
in which they cannot detect the surround-
ings. Objects, animals and persons in these
areas may be detected only to a limited ex-
tent or not at all. Always monitor the road
and the area around the vehicle; do not rely
on the sensors alone, and do not allow your-
self to become distracted.
Press the button in the centre console or se-
lect reverse gear. The detected parking space
will appear on the centre display and you can
start the parking manoeuvre.
Selecting a parking space and a parking
option
When the system finds one or more parking
spaces which might be long/wide enough for
your vehicle, the system displays these spaces
2 .
CAUTION
Even parking spaces which the system has
identified as being suitable may not have
been detected correctly. It is the driver's re-
sponsibility to decide whether a parking space
shown in the display is suitable for the vehi-
cle.
The following symbols may also be shown:
►
P: The vehicle is in the ideal starting position
and you must brake to a standstill.
P : The vehicle must be driven further in the
direction indicated by the arrow to reach the
ideal starting position. Only drive further if
there are no obstacles in the vehicle’s path.
►
If the vehicle is stationary and there are further
parking options in addition to the selected park-
ing space 2 , you can change the selection man-
ually:
