System limits
Objects located above or below the detection
range of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads, tail
sections or loading ramps of goods vehicles, or
the borders of parking spaces, are not detected
during measurement of the parking space. These
are also then not taken into account when calcu‐
lating the parking procedure. In some circum‐
stances, Active Parking Assist may therefore
guide you into the parking space incorrectly.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located above or below the
detection range of Active Parking Assist
If there are objects above or below the
detection range, the following situations may
arise:
Active Parking Assist may steer too early.
R
The vehicle may not stop in front of these
R
objects.
This could cause a collision.
In these situations, do not use Active
#
Parking Assist.
Extreme environmental conditions, such as
snowfall or heavy rain, may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately. Parking
spaces that are partially occupied by trailer
drawbars might not be identified as such or be
measured incorrectly. Only use Active Parking
Assist on level, high-grip ground.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations:
In extreme weather conditions such as ice,
R
packed snow or in heavy rain.
When transporting a load that protrudes
R
beyond the vehicle.
If the parking space is on a steep downhill or
R
uphill gradient.
When snow chains are installed.
R
When a trailer or bicycle rack is attached.
R
Directly after a tire change or when spare
R
tires are installed.
If the tire pressure is too low or too high.
R
If the suspension is out of alignment, e.g.
R
after bottoming out on a curb.
On steep inclines of more than approx. 15%.
R
Active Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, such as,
e.g.:
Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
R
Parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces.
