sist button indicates that the system

ered sensors, a message is displayed

Driving and operating
Advanced parking aid
The advanced parking aid system
maneuvers the driver into a parking
slot by giving instructions on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) and
acoustic signals. It is the driver, how‐
ever, who bears full responsibility for
accepting the parking slot suggested
by the system and the parking ma‐
neuver.
The system uses the sensors of the
parking assist system in combination
with two additional sensors on both
sides of the front bumper.
