System limitations of Active Parking Assist
Objects located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist are not detected
when the parking space is being measured.
These are also not taken into account when the
parking manoeuvre is calculated, e.g. overhang‐
ing loads, overhangs or loading ramps of lorries
or the boundaries of parking spaces. In some cir‐
cumstances, 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
The vehicle may not stop in front of these
R
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.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following
situations:
The weather conditions are extreme, e.g. ice,
R
packed snow or heavy rain.
If you are transporting a load that protrudes
R
beyond the vehicle.
If the parking space is on a steep downhill or
R
uphill gradient.
If you have installed snow chains.
R
Active Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, e.g.
parking spaces in which parking is not permitted
or parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces.
Active Parking Assist does not provide assis‐
tance for parking spaces perpendicular to the
direction of travel, for instance when two park‐
ing spaces are directly next to each other or the
Driving and parking 275
parking space is directly next to a low obstacle
such as a kerb.
Active Parking Assist does not provide assis‐
tance for parking spaces parallel or perpendicu‐
lar to the direction of travel, for instance when
the parking space is on a kerb or the parking
space is bordered by an obstacle, e.g. a tree, a
post or a trailer.
Parking with Active Parking Assist
Please note that you are responsible for the vehi‐
cle and surroundings during the entire parking
procedure.
