Parking instructions:
On narrow streets, drive by the parking
R
space as close as possible.
Parking spaces that are dirty, overgrown or
R
located in front of trailers may not be
detected correctly.
Snowfall or heavy rain may cause imprecise
R
measurement of the parking space.
Also observe the Park Assist warning
R
indicator ( Y page 326) while the Advanced
Parking Guidance is active.
How well your vehicle will be parked after
R
completion of the Advanced Parking
Guidance depends on the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front of and
behind the parking space as well as the
conditions of the immediate surroundings.
In certain cases, the Advanced Parking
Guidance may guide you too far into the
parking space or not far enough. If this is
the case, cancel the parking procedure
with the Advanced Parking Guidance and
correct the vehicle position yourself.

Detecting a parking space

The Advanced Parking Guidance is active
when driving forward. The system operates at
a vehicle speed of up to 25 mph (40 km/h).
It scans automatically for and measures
potential parking spaces on both sides of the
vehicle.
