● Observe the surrounding area and acceler-
ate carefully at a maximum of 7 km/h
(4 mph).
The park assist system is only responsible
●
for moving the steering wheel during the ma-
noeuvre. The driver applies the accelerator,
the clutch, the gears and the brake.
● Follow the instructions given by the park
assist system until the manoeuvre is comple-
ted.
The park assist system steers the vehicle
●
forwards and backwards until it is in a
straight position in the parking space.
● The manoeuvre is complete when the corre-
sponding indication is given on the instru-
ment panel display.
Stopping the parking manoeuvre
The park assist system stops the manoeuvre
in advance in the event of one of the follow-
ing:
Press button .


● Driving faster than 7 km/h (4 mph).
The driver moves the steering wheel.

Operation
● There is a system malfunction (system tem-
porarily unavailable).
● The ASR system is switched off or the ASR
or ESC is working.
WARNING
The steering wheel turns quickly by itself
when parking using the park assist system.
Placing your hand between the steering
wheel spokes could lead to injuries.
Note
● The park assist system has its limitations.
For example, it is not possible to park on
tight bends using the park assist system.
● Even if the park assist system recognises
that there is not enough space for parking
the vehicle, the instrument panel display will
still show this place. In this case, the parking
manoeuvre should not be requested.
Changing gears between forward and re-
●
verse gears before indicated (that is, before
the signal from the parking sensor system)
the parking results may not be ideal.
● For parallel parking (parallel to the road), a
sound will tell the driver when they must
change from forward gears to reverse; the
signal from the parking sensor system does
not indicate changes of direction.
● The park assist can also be activated after-
wards, if you pass close to a parallel parking
space at a maximum of 40 km an hour
(25 mph) or close to be perpendicular parking
space at about 20 km an hour (12 mph) then
press the button .

● The progress bar on the screen of the in-
strument panel shows a display of the rela-
tive distance to be covered.
● When the Park Assist system is turning the
steering wheel of the stopped vehicle the
symbol  is also displayed. Press on the
brake pedal so that the steering can turn with
the vehicle at a standstill and thus reduce the
number of manoeuvres.
● A "suitable" parking space length is at
least 1.1 m greater than the length of the ve-
hicle.
If the results of the park assist system are
●
not as good after changing the wheels, the
system must memorise the perimeter of the
new wheels. This process is performed auto-
matically while the vehicle is in motion. To
help this process, turn slowly (at less than
20 km/h [12 mph]), e.g. in an empty car park.
