274 Driving and parking
As soon as all requirements are met for searching
for parking spaces, the Ç display appears in
the Instrument Display.
When Active Parking Assist has detected parking
spaces, the È display appears in the Instru-
ment 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) can
also be selected as desired.
When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn
signal indicators are activated based on the calcu-
lated 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 sub-
stitute for your attention to the surroundings. The
responsibility for safe maneuvering and parking
remains with you. Make sure that no persons, ani-
mals or objects etc. are in the maneuvering
range.
Active Parking Assist will be canceled 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 circumstan-
ces, Active Parking Assist may therefore guide
you into the parking space incorrectly.
& 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.
R
The vehicle may not stop in front of these
R
objects.
There is a danger of collision!
In these situations, do not use Active
#
Parking Assist.
Extreme weather conditions, suchas snow 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.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations:
In extreme weather conditions suchas ice,
R
packed snow or in heavy rain.
