function display. The arrows show on which side
of the road detected parking spaces are located.
They are then shown in the media display. The
parking space and, if necessary, the parking
direction can be selected as desired. Active
Parking Assist calculates a suitable vehicle path,
switches on the turn signal indicator and assists
you in parking and exiting the parking space.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: Active
Parking Assist provides assistance when chang‐
ing gear, accelerating, braking and steering the
vehicle.
Vehicles with manual transmission: the active
brake application and automatic gear change are
only available on vehicles with automatic trans‐
mission. You must therefore brake the vehicle
and change gear yourself when parking or exit‐
ing a parking space.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the
manoeuvring range.
Active Parking Assist is cancelled if, among
other things, one of the following actions is car‐
ried out:

System limits
Objects located above or below the detection
range of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC or Active
Parking Assist are not detected when the park‐
ing space is being measured. These are also not
taken into account when the parking manoeuvre
is calculated, e.g. overhanging loads, overhangs
or loading ramps of lorries, or the boundaries of
parking spaces. In some circumstances, Active
Parking Assist may therefore guide you into the
parking space prematurely.

& WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located above or below the
detection range of Active Parking Assist
If there are objects above or below the
detection range, the following situations may
arise:
Active Parking Assist may steer too early.
R
Vehicles with automatic transmis‐
R
sion: The vehicle may not stop in front of
these objects.
This could cause a collision.
In these situations, do not use Active
#
Parking Assist.
Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking
space being measured inaccurately. Parking
spaces that are partially occupied by trailer
drawbars might not be identified as such or be
measured incorrectly. Only use Active Parking
Assist on level, high-grip ground.
