There is a danger of collision!
In these situations, do not use Active
#
Parking Assist.
Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately. Parking
spaces that are partially occupied by trailer draw‐
bars might not be identified as such or be meas‐
ured incorrectly. Only use Active Parking Assist
on level, high-grip ground.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations, among others:
in extreme weather conditions such as ice,
R
packed snow or in heavy rain
when cornering
R
for parking spaces which are not on the same
R
level as the road, e.g. not on the pavement
when transporting a load that protrudes
R
beyond the vehicle
when snow chains are fitted
R
Active Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, for
example:
parking spaces where parking is prohibited
R
parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces
R
Active Parking Assist will not assist you with
parking spaces perpendicular to the direction of
travel in the following situations:
if two parking spaces are located immediately
R
next to each other
if the parking space is immediately next to a
R
low obstacle such as a kerb
if you are parking forwards
R
Active Parking Assist will not assist you with
parking spaces parallel or perpendicular to the
direction of travel in the following situations:
if the parking space is on a kerb
R
if the system deems the parking space to be
R
blocked, such as by foliage or grass paving
blocks
if the area is too small for the vehicle to
R
manoeuvre into
if the parking space is bordered by an obsta‐
R
cle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer
Parking using Active Parking Assist
& WARNING Risk of accident due to insuf‐
ficiently securing the vehicle against roll‐
ing away when exiting the vehicle
If you leave the driver's seat when the vehicle
is being braked by Active Parking Assist only,
it could roll away in the following situations:
if there is a malfunction in the system or
R
in the power supply.
if the electrical system in the engine com‐
R
partment, the battery or the fuses are
tampered with.
if the battery is disconnected.
R
if the vehicle is accelerated, e.g. by a vehi‐
R
cle occupant.
Before leaving the driver's seat, always
#
secure the vehicle against rolling away.
Bring the vehicle safely to a stop when the
#
parking symbol with an arrow shows the
desired parking space.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to vehi‐
cle swinging out while parking or pulling
out of a parking space
While parking or pulling out of a parking
space, the vehicle swings out and can drive
onto areas of the oncoming lane.

or other road users.

#
users.

#
cancel the parking procedure with Park‐
ing Pilot.
