Note that Active Parking Assist cannot
measure the size 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 parking space.
When driving at speeds below 30 km/h, you will
see parking symbol ; as a status indicator in
the instrument cluster. When a parking space
has been detected, an arrow towards the right or
the left also appears. Active Parking Assist dis-
plays 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
Active Parking Assist by pressing the a but-
ton 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.
