When driving past the parking space, the maximum speed for parking spaces parallel to the road should be around 40 km/h

(around 25 mph). The maximum speed for parking spaces perpendicular to the road should be around 20 km/h (around

12 mph).

For safety reasons, Park Assist Plus is not available in fast-moving traffic at speeds above around 50 km/h (around 32 mph).

Driving with a trailer

Park Assist Plus cannot be activated if a trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle.

Park Assist Plus must be switched off manually if a non-factory-fitted towing bracket is used.

WARNING

Park Assist Plus is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the system. Park Assist

Plus cannot detect all driving situations and may not react or may react with a delay or in an undesired way. If you do not pay due

attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.

● Use the foot brake to slow the vehicle in a hazardous situation.

● Only park the vehicle if you hold a valid driving licence.

● Observe the road traffic regulations of the respective country.

● Do not leave the driver seat during the parking manoeuvre.

● Do not park in parking spaces without structural boundaries, such as those close to the edge of bodies of water or close to slopes

without any structural separation.

WARNING

The system can respond only to a limited extent to quickly changing external conditions. This can result in collisions with other road

users and can lead to vehicle damage as well as serious or fatal injuries.

● Do not use the parking system in fast-moving traffic.

● Always observe at least one vehicle length from junctions.

● Do not perform a parking procedure when facing oncoming traffic or across several lanes.

WARNING

The vehicle can swing out or move into the path of oncoming traffic during the automatic parking procedure. This can result in

accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

● Pay careful attention to the parking procedure and the traffic around you and brake the vehicle if necessary.

WARNING

In slippery conditions, the parking procedure cannot be carried out correctly and the vehicle may begin to slide. This can cause

accidents and vehicle damage.

● Do not park using Park Assist Plus on icy or frozen roads.

NOTICE

Park Assist Plus may suggest parking spaces that are not suitable for the parking procedure due to the lack of boundaries or due to

adjacent objects that could interfere with the parking procedure. This can result in damage to the vehicle.

● Do not park next to overhangs, e.g. loading ramps and parked trailers or under hanging objects.

● Pay close attention to the parking procedure in multi-storey car parks where the parking space is limited by pillars.

Park Assist Plus may not be available in some regions of a country for technical reasons.
