When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the cal‐
culated path of your vehicle.
The parking procedure is assisted by accelerat‐
ing, braking, steering and gear changes.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
maneuvering range.

If the exterior lighting is malfunctioning, Active
Parking Assist is not available.
Objects located above or below the detection
range of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads,
overhangs or loading ramps of trucks, or the bor‐
ders of parking spaces, are not detected during
measurement of the parking space. These are
also then not taken into account when calculat‐
ing the parking procedure. In some circumstan‐
ces, 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

detection range, the following situations may
arise:

partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not
be identified as such or be measured incorrectly.

ground.
