Parking parallel to the road:
▷ Minimum length of gap between two ob-
jects: own vehicle length plus approxi-
mately 0.8 m, 2.6 ft.
▷ Minimum depth: approximately 1.5 m, 5 ft.
Bay parking:
▷ Minimum width of gap: own vehicle width
plus approximately 0.7 m, 2.3 ft.
▷ Minimum depth: own vehicle length.
The depth of bay parking spaces must be
estimated by the driver. Due to technical
limits, the system is only able to gauge the
depth of bay parking spaces approximately.

Parking space search
▷ Parking space search is always active when
driving forwards at a speed of up to approx.
35 km/h, approx. 22 mph and a distance of
max. 1.5 m, approx. 5 ft for vehicles to be
parked.
▷ Park Assist is turned on and the park-
ing space search is activated. Search for
suitable parking spaces.
▷ Suitable parking spaces are displayed and
an acoustic signal sounds.
▷ When parallel or bay parking spaces are
clearly detected, the system automatically
selects the appropriate parking method. If
there are parking spaces that are large
enough for both parallel and bay parking,
both parking spaces are shown on the con-
trol display. The parking direction can be
selected by selecting the parking space.
