Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
R
space being measured inaccurately.
The way your vehicle is positioned in the
R
parking space after parking is dependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of the
location. In some cases, Active Parking
Assist may guide 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.
You can also engage forward gear prema-
R
turely. The vehicle redirects and does not
drive as far into the parking space. Should a
gear be changed too early, the parking pro-
cedure will be cancelled. A sensible parking
position can no longer be achieved from
this position.

Active Parking Assist can only assist you with
exiting a parking space if you have parked the
vehicle using Active Parking Assist.
