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 only
displays 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 button on the multifunc-
tion steering wheel. The system automatically
determines whether the parking space is paral-
lel 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.

Parking tips:
The way your vehicle is positioned in the park-
R
ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in front and
behind it and the conditions of the location. It
may be the case that Active Parking Assist
guides you too far into a parking space, or not
far enough into it. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the kerb. If necessary,
you should cancel the parking procedure with
Active Parking Assist.
