Parking
If the driver stops and engages reverse gear after
driving past a suitable parking space, the following
message is first displayed on the multifunction display
of the instrument cluster:
"Watch for traffic! Press OK to confirm"
The parking assistance begins after the warning
displayed in the instrument cluster has been
confirmed with the OK button on the multifunction
steering wheel.
The multifunction display changes to the parking guid-
ance display and, depending on the distance to the
parking space, shows the message:
"Reverse"
This is indicated by a white arrow pointing to the rear
in the multifunction display. Reverse the vehicle until
a signal tone is heard. Then stop the vehicle. This is
the stop position. The white arrow in the display is full.
The following message appears:
"Steer right" or "Steer left"
