Active Parking Assist
Function of Active Parking Assist
Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking
assistance system which automatically locates
and measures parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle when you are driving forwards up to a
speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h).
If all requirements are met, the Ç display
appears in the multifunction display. The system
then independently locates and measures parallel
and perpendicular parking spaces on both sides
of the vehicle.
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 free parking spaces are located.
Active Parking Assist displays parking spaces on
the co-driver side as standard. The parking
spaces on the driver's side are only displayed if
you operate the turn signal on the driver's side.
When parking on the driver's side, you must oper‐
ate the turn signal until you have started active

wheel button.
Active Parking Assist can assist you with an
active steering intervention and brake application
during parking and exiting the parking space.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
You are always responsible for safe maneuvering,
parking and exiting a parking space. Make sure
that no persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
path of your vehicle.
Active Parking Assist is canceled in the following
cases, among others:

available.
System limits
Objects located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist are not detected
when the parking space is being measured. They
are also not taken into account when the parking
maneuver is calculated, e.g. overhanging loads,
overhangs or loading ramps of trucks, or the
boundaries of parking spaces. In some circum‐
stances, Active Parking Assist may therefore
guide you into the parking space prematurely.
& 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 detec‐
tion range, the following situations may arise:
Active Parking Assist may steer too early.

The vehicle may not stop in front of these
