Parking tips:
The way your vehicle is positioned in the park-
R
ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front and
behind it and the conditions of the location. It
may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into a parking space, or not
far enough into it. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the curb. In this case,
cancel the active parking assistance.
You can also preselect transmission position
R
D. The vehicle redirects and does not drive as
far into the parking space. If you change direc-
tion too early, parking assistance is canceled
and Active Parking Assist is stopped. It is then
not possible to achieve a sensible parking
position from the current position.

Exiting a parking space

In order that Active Parking Assist can support
you when you exit the parking space:
the border of the parking space must be high
R
enough at the front and the rear. A curb is too
small, for example.
the border of the parking space must not be
R
too wide. Your vehicle can be maneuvered
into a position at a maximum of 45° to the
starting position in the parking space.
a maneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
R
(1.0 m) must be available.
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking space if you have parked the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
If PARKTRONIC detects obstacles, Active Park-
ing Assist brakes automatically when exiting
from the parking space. You are responsible for
braking in good time.
