Note
– Parking spaces classified as suitable by the
system may have been detected incorrectly.
The driver must decide if the parking space
displayed is suitable for the vehicle.
Selecting the parking space
If the system finds a parking space that could be
suitable for the vehicle length and width, it will
be displayed. The system automatically suggests
a parking option 1 .
– Certain objects (such as trees and posts) or
types of ground (such as gravel, snow, and
ice) in the area of the parking space may re-
sult in the vehicle not being positioned as it
normally would be at the end of the parking
process. This increases the risk of collisions.
– The parking assist systems may not be used
while towing a trailer or when using rear
carrier systems.
If the parking space allows different parking op-
tions, they can be selected manually. Press one of
the suggested parking options 1 in the center
display.
Starting the parking process

visual instructions in the center display 2 . Once
