Park Assist

Introduction to the topic

Park Assist shows parking spaces that are suitable for parking and assists the driver when

driving into and out of parking spaces.

Park Assist is an extension of Park Distance Control (→ Park Distance Control,

Introduction/General information).

Park Assist automatically steers the vehicle. The driver must control the accelerator, gear

changes and brake →

.

Observe the text message in the instrument cluster display.

WARNING

The intelligent technology used in the parking systems cannot overcome the laws of physics,

and functions only within the system limits. This may result in accidents, serious injuries and

also damage to the vehicle.

●

The parking system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.

WARNING

Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.

●

During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted to do

so by the system.

●

Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.

NOTICE

Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerb and other objects for orientation. Please ensure that

the wheels and tyres are not damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessary, stop the parking

procedure in good time to prevent damage to the vehicle.

Any equipment that has been retrofitted to the vehicle, e.g. bicycle carriers, can prevent

Park Assist from functioning properly and may cause damage.

Park Assist can be activated retrospectively. If the vehicle has previously driven past a

suitable parking space, it will be displayed.

When carrying out parking manoeuvres, the vehicle may be braked if the driver

accelerates too strongly.
