Parking Pilot is activated automatically when
driving forwards. The system is operational at
speeds of up to approximately 35 km/h. While
in operation, the system independently locates
and measures parking spaces on both sides of
the vehicle.
Parking Pilot will detect only parking spaces
which are:
parallel or at right angles to the direction of
R
travel
parallel to the direction of travel and are at
R
least 1.5 m wide
parallel to the direction of travel and at least
R
1.0 m longer than your vehicle
at right angles to the direction of travel and at
R
least 1.0 m wider than your vehicle
i
Note that Parking Pilot cannot measure the
length of a parking space if it is at right angles
to the direction of travel. You will need to
judge whether your vehicle will fit in the park-
ing space.
When driving at speeds below 30 km/h, you will
see parking symbol ; as a status indicator on
the instrument cluster. When a parking space
has been detected, an arrow towards the right or
the left also appears. Parking Pilot displays only
parking spaces on the front-passenger side as
standard. Parking spaces on the driver's side
are displayed as soon as the turn signal on the
driver's side is activated. When parking on the
driver's side, this must remain activated until
you confirm the use of Parking Pilot by pressing
the a button on the multifunction steering
wheel. The system automatically determines
whether the parking space is parallel or at right
angles to the direction of travel.
A parking space is displayed while you are driv-
ing past it, and until you are approximately 15 m
away from it.
