detected parking spaces are located. They are
then shown in the central display.
The parking space can be selected as desired.
Depending on the location of the parking space,
the parking direction (rearwards or forwards)
can also be selected as desired.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the cal‐
culated path of your vehicle. When you are
entering or exiting a parking space, the proce‐
dure is assisted by acceleration, braking, steer‐
ing and gear changes.
To start the parking procedure, press the c
button ( page 284).

Objects located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist, such as over‐
hanging loads, overhangs 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 calculating the parking proce‐
dure. In some circumstances, Active Parking
Assist may therefore guide you into the parking
space prematurely or brake too late.
Certain environmental conditions, such as snow‐
fall 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.
