Exiting A Parking Space - Mercedes-Benz 2015 M-Class Operator's Manual

As soon as the parking procedure is com-
plete, the Park Park Assist Assist switched
sage appears and a warning tone sounds.
Active Parking Assist no longer supports you
with steering interventions. When Active
Parking Assist is finished, you must steer
again yourself. PARKTRONIC is still available.
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 the gear change occur too soon to
achieve a sensible parking position, the
parking procedure will be aborted.

Exiting a parking space

In order that Active Parking Assist can sup-
port you when you exit the parking space:
you need to have parked using Active Park-
R
ing Assist.
the border of the parking space must be
R
high enough at the front and the rear. A
curb stone 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 maneuvered into the park-
ing space.
a maneuvering distance of at least 3.3 ft
R
(1.0 m) must be available.
