Parking tips:
The way your vehicle is positioned in the
R
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion 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 can-
cel the parking procedure with Active Park-
ing Assist.
You can also select preselect transmission
R
position D. The vehicle redirects and does
not drive as far into the parking space.
Should a gear be changed too early, the
parking procedure will be canceled. A sen-
sible parking position can no longer be ach-
ieved from this position.

Exiting a parking space

In order that Active Parking Assist can sup-
port you when you exit the parking space:
the border of the parking space must be
R
high 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, as the position of the vehicle must
not exceed an angle of 45° to the starting
position as it is maneuvering into the park-
ing space.
a maneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
R
(1.0 m) must be available.
