Parking Guidance

The Parking Guidance is part of the Parktronic
system. With the Parktronic system switched
Y
on ( page 146), the Parking Guidance is also
available.
The Parking Guidance is an electronic parking
aid equipped with ultrasonic sensors. The
ultrasonic sensors scan the area on both
sides of vehicle. When a suitable parking
space is found, it is indicated by a parking
space symbol in the multifunction display.
You will receive steering instructions for
parking in that space.
G
Warning!
The Parking Guidance is only an aid and may
display parking spaces that are not suitable
for parking such as
no-parking zones
R
parking space with unsuitable road/ground
R
surface
driveways
R
entrances/exits
R
The Parking Guidance scans for and measures
potential parking spaces when driving past.
Subsequent changes to the parking space are
not taken into account. This may be the case
if the position of the vehicle parked in front or
behind the space changes or obstacles in the
parking space are moved.
The Parking Guidance does not relieve you of
the responsibility to pay attention. If you only
rely on the Parking Guidance, you may cause
an accident and injure yourself and others.
You are always responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to your
immediate surroundings when parking and
maneuvering.
G
Warning!
The system cannot detect objects located
above the area that the sensors scan. These
objects, e.g. protruding load, overhang, or
truck tail lifts, will be ignored when computing
the parking procedure. The Parking Guidance
might therefore provide untimely steering
instructions. This could cause a collision.
Thus, do not use the Parking Guidance in such
situations.
G
Warning!
Make sure no persons or animals are in the
area in which you are maneuvering. You could
otherwise injure them.
! Special attention must be paid to objects
with smooth surfaces or low silhouettes
(e.g. trailer couplings, painted posts,
elevated crossbars or road curbs). Such
objects may not be detected by the system
and can damage the vehicle.
Use the Parking Guidance for parking spaces
that are
parallel to the direction of travel
R
located on straight streets, i.e. not in
R
curves
on the same level as the street, i.e. not on
R
sidewalks, for example.
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 Parktronic system
