Parking tips:
On narrow roads, drive as close to the park-
R
ing space as possible
Parking spaces that are littered or over-
R
grown might be identified or measured
incorrectly
Parking spaces that are partially occupied
R
by trailer drawbars might not be identified
as such or be measured incorrectly
Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
R
space being measured inaccurately
Pay attention to the warning messages of
R
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC during the
parking procedure (
Y
You can intervene in the steering procedure
R
to correct it at any time. Active Parking
Assist will then be canceled
When transporting a load which protrudes
R
from your vehicle, you should not use Active
Parking Assist
Never use Active Parking Assist when snow
R
chains are installed
Make sure that the tire pressures are always
R
correct. This has a direct influence on the
parking characteristics of the vehicle.
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces:
that are parallel or at right-angles to the
R
direction of travel
on straight roads, not bends
R
on the same level as the road, e.g. not on
R
the pavement

Detecting parking spaces

Objects located above the detection range of
Active Parking Assist will not be detected
when the parking space is measured. These
are not taken into account when the parking
procedure is calculated, e.g. overhanging
loads, truck overhangs or loading ramps.
Active Parking Assist may therefore guide you
into the parking space too early.
Active Parking Assist does not support you
parking in spaces at right angles to the direc-
tion of travel if:
two parking spaces are located directly next
R
to one another
the parking space is directly next to a low
R
obstacle such as a low curb
you park forwards
R

Driving systems
Active Parking Assist does not support you
parking in spaces that are parallel or at right
angles to the direction of travel if:
the parking space is on a curb
R
the system reads the parking space as being
R
blocked, for example by foliage or grass
paving blocks
the area is too small for the vehicle to
R
maneuver into
the parking space is bordered by an obsta-
R
cle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer

range:
the Parking Package with rear view cam-
R
era may steer too early

Active Parking Assist is switched on automati-
cally when driving forwards. The system is
operational at speeds of up to approximately
22 mph (35 km/h). While in operation, the
system independently locates and measures
parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist will only detect parking
spaces:
that are parallel or at right-angles to the
R
direction of travel
that are parallel to the direction of travel
R
and at least 59 in (1.5 m) wide
