Parking tips:
The way your vehicle is positioned in the park-
R
ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front and
behind it and the conditions of the location. It
may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into a parking space, or not
far enough into it. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the curb. If necessary,
you should cancel the parking procedure with
Active Parking Assist.
You can also preselect transmission position
R
h. The vehicle redirects and does not drive
as far into the parking space. Should the
transmission change take place too early, the
parking procedure will be canceled. A sensi-
ble parking position can no longer be ach-
ieved from this position.
Exiting a parking space
mes-
In order that Active Parking Assist can support
you when you exit the parking space:
the border of the parking space must be high
R
enough at the front and the rear. A curb is too
small, for example.
the border of the parking space must not be
R
too wide. Your vehicle can be maneuvered
into a position at a maximum of 45° to the
starting position in the parking space.
a maneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
R
(1.0 m) must be available.
Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking space if you have parked the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel using
Active Parking Assist.
