will move the steering wheel! Ob-
serve the surrounding area.
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 accelera-
tor, 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 cor-
●
responding 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.
●
The parking manoeuvre has not been com-
●
pleted after 6 minutes since the park assist
system was activated.

Driving
A sliding door is opened. To restart the ma-
●
noeuvre, close the sliding door and press the
button again.

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 reques-
ted.
Changing gears between forward and re-
●
verse gears before indicated (that is, be-
fore the signal from the parking sensor sys-
tem) 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 af-
●
terwards, if you pass close to a parallel
parking space at a maximum of 40 km/h
(25 mph) or close to a perpendicular park-
ing space at about 20 km/h (12 mph) and
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
vehicle.
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 au-
tomatically 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.
