Active Parking Assist
Function of Active Parking Assist
Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system, which uses ultrasound with
the assistance of the reversing camera and 360°
Camera. When you are driving forwards up to
approximately 35 km/h, the system automati‐
cally measures parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle.
As soon as all requirements are met for search‐
ing for parking spaces, the Ç display appears
in the multifunction display.
When Active Parking Assist has detected parking
spaces, the È display appears in the multi‐
function display. The arrows show on which side
of the road detected parking spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media display.
The parking space can be selected as desired.
Depending on the location of the parking space,
the parking direction (rearwards or forwards)
tones. 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 procedure is assisted by acceleration,
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 manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.
Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the fol‐
lowing situations:
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated.

System limits
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 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.
