vehicle is kept stationary without the driver hav-
ing to depress the brake pedal. The braking
effect is cancelled when you depress the accel-
erator pedal.
Active Parking Assist no longer supports you
with steering interventions and brake applica-
tions. When Active Parking Assist is finished,
you must steer and brake again yourself.
PARKTRONIC is still available.
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 kerb. If necessary,
you should cancel the parking procedure with
Active Parking Assist.
You can also preselect transmission position
R
D. The vehicle redirects and does not drive as
far into the parking space. Should the trans-
mission change take place too early, the park-
ing procedure will be cancelled. A sensible
parking position can no longer be achieved
from this position.
Exiting a parking space
In order that Active Parking Assist can support
you when exiting the parking space:
the border of the parking space must be high
R
enough at the front and the rear. A kerb stone
is too small, for example.
the border of the parking space must not be
R
too wide, as the position of the vehicle must
not exceed an angle of 45° to the starting
position as it is manoeuvred into the parking
space.
a manoeuvring distance of at least 1.0 m must
R
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.

Parking Assist brakes automatically whilst the

tion.

times if necessary.

pletely, the steering wheel is moved to the
straight-ahead position. You hear a tone and the

PARKTRONIC is still available. You can take over
the steering before the vehicle has exited the
parking space completely. This is useful, for
example, when you recognise that it is already
possible to pull out of the parking space.
