Assisted parking
General information
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with park assist, this
system helps you find suitable parking spaces.
Parking spaces are measured using ultrasonic
sensors on the sides of the vehicle.
– Observe the safety precautions and note the
limitations of the assist systems, sensors,
and cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.
– 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.
The system helps with the process of parking or
exiting a parking space while you monitor the ve-
hicle's surroundings with the parking aids, cam-
eras*, and direct eye contact. The vehicle moves
the steering wheel autonomously.
– The system may not respond at all or it may
not respond at the right time when objects
are approaching very quickly.
WARNING
Observe the safety precautions and note the
limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.
– The rear cross-traffic assist will not provide
alerts if your vehicle is parallel or diagonally
parked or if your vehicle is pulled too far in-
to the parking space so that it is hidden by
adjacent vehicles.
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.
