Parking and manoeuvring
– Do not use the function if the vehicle cannot
move freely (e.g. if it is on the jack).
Note
– You can activate the system after you have
already driven past a parking space (as long
as you were driving slowly enough). To do
so, press .
– 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.
– The electronic stabilisation control (ESC)
must not be switched off during the parking
manoeuvre. If the ESC intervenes, the park-
ing manoeuvre is interrupted.
– You can approach a perpendicular parking
space forwards and then activate the sys-
tem. However, for this purpose the front of

– Do not use the park assist if you are trans-
porting objects which project beyond the ve-
hicle, if snow chains are fitted or if the park-
ing space is on a slope.
the vehicle must already be in the space

can measure the space.

– The system is not available when certain
other assist systems are switched on.
– In certain situations, the park assist will
guide the vehicle onto or across the kerb,
for instance if other vehicles are parked on
the kerb. You should always be ready to take
over the steering wheel in order to prevent
damage to the tyres and/or wheel rims; al-
ternatively, you can abort the manoeuvre.
– When parking the vehicle in a space where
there is no kerb, maintain a distance of at
least 50 cm to walls and buildings to avoid
any damage to the vehicle.
– If there are suitable parking spaces on both
sides of the road (for instance on a one-way
street), you can change the direction of the
turn signals or press on the corresponding
side on the upper display to park on the oth-
er side of the road, even if you have already
activated the park assist.
– Assisted parking cannot be used in combi-
nation with the parking systems to park the
vehicle on tight bends.

Always observe the relevant country-specific
regulations when using the park assist.
How it works
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
Using the park assist to park the vehicle
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
Once a parking space has been found, the park
assist helps you to drive the vehicle into and out
of the space. The park assist steers the vehicle
while you operate the accelerator and brake ped-
al and monitor the area around the vehicle. The
park assist can be stopped at any time.
Important: A suitable parking space must have
been found and selected ðpage 229. The vehicle
must be stationary to begin with.

cate the action required, e.g. braking or change
of direction. The park assist automatically steers
the vehicle into the parking space while the driver
operates the pedals.
WARNING
– Please note the safety precautions and sys-
tem limitations of the supporting systems,
sensors and cameras ðpage 171 to
ðpage 174.
►
After you have been stationary for a moment,
check that the direction of travel of your vehicle
matches the direction given by the park assist.
– The driver is always responsible for safety
during parking and all other manoeuvres.
