DRIVER SUPPORT
||
The driver should be aware of the following limi-
tations for Park Assist Pilot:
The parking sequence is cancelled
A parking sequence will be cancelled if:
• The driver moves the steering wheel
• The vehicle's speed exceeds 7 km/h
(4 mph)
Cancel
•
The driver taps
• When the anti-lock brakes or the Electronic
stability control are engaged - e.g. when a
wheel loses grip on a slippery road
• When speed-dependent power steering
wheel resistance is working at reduced
power – e.g. during cooling due to overheat-
ing.
A message in the center display will explain why
the parking sequence was cancelled.
"Approved tires" refers to tires of the same type and make as the vehicle's original, factory-installed tires.

Under certain circumstances, the function
may not be able to find parking spaces – one
reason may be that the sensors are disrupted
by external sound sources that emit the same
ultrasonic frequencies that the system works
with.
Examples of such sources include horns, wet
in the center display
tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, exhaust
noise from motorcycles, etc.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
reduce their function and can make measure-
ment impossible.
Driver responsibility
The driver should keep in mind that the function
is a parking aid ‒ not an infallible fully automatic
system. The driver must always be prepared to
take control and cancel a parking sequence if
necessary.
CAUTION
NOTE
There are a number of things to keep in mind
when parking, including:
• The driver is always responsible for determin-
ing if the space suggested by the function is
suitable for parking.
• Do not use the function when using snow
chains or a temporary spare tire.
• Do not use the function if there are any
objects protruding from the vehicle.
• Heavy rain or snowfall may inhibit PAP's abil-
ity to accurately measure a parking space.
• While searching and measuring the parking
space, the function may be unable to detect
objects located far into the space.
• PAP may not suggest parking spaces on
narrow streets if it does not detect sufficient
space for maneuvering the vehicle.

Use approved tires inflated to the correct
•
tire pressure because this affects the func-
tion's ability to provide parking assistance.
• The function is based on the way the vehi-
cles are parked behind and in front of your
parking space. If they are, for example,
parked too close to the curb, there is a risk
that your vehicle's tires or wheel rims could
be damaged by the curb during the parking
procedure.
