Parking aid system (Park
Assist)
Introduction
The assisted parking system is an additional
›››
function of ParkPilot
the driver find a suitable parking space from
among the following types:
●
park driving in reverse in suitable perpendic-
ular and parallel spaces,
●
park driving forwards in suitable perpendicu-
lar spaces,
●
exit a parking space driving forwards from a
parallel space,
●
park in a suitable space driving forward on
angle partially entering into the selected park-
ing space. The system will centre the vehicle in
the parking space,

●
finish reverse parking into a space in which
you have attempted to park manually by parti-
ally entering with the rear of the vehicle.
In vehicles with a Park Assist system and factory
infotainment system, the front, rear and side
areas are represented, and the position of ob-
stacles is shown relative to the vehicle.

The assisted parking system is subject to
in De-
certain limitations inherent to the system
and its use requires special attention by the
driver
WARNING
The technology used in the park assist sys-
tem involves a series of limitations inherent
in the actual system and in the use of ultra-
sonic sensors. The use of Park Assist should
never tempt you to take any risk that may
page 210
and helps
compromise safety. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
●
Any accidental movement of the vehicle
could result in serious injury.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
●
Certain surfaces of objects and garments
do not reflect the ultrasound sensors' sig-
nals. The system cannot detect, at least cor-
rectly, these objects or people wearing such
clothes.
Parking and manoeuvring
›››
.
●
Ultrasound sensor signals may be affected
by external sound sources. In certain circum-
stances this may prevent them from detect-
ing people or objects.
●
The ultrasound sensors may have blind
spots in which obstacles and people are not
detected.
●
Monitor the area around the vehicle at all
times, since the ultrasound sensors do not
detect small children, animals or certain ob-
jects in all situations.
WARNING
Quick turns of the steering wheel when park-
ing or exiting a parking space with Park Assist
can cause serious injury.
●
Do not hold the steering wheel during ma-
noeuvres to park or exit a parking space un-
til the system requests it. Doing so disables
the system during the manoeuvre, resulting
in the parking being cancelled.
NOTICE
●
In certain circumstances, the ultrasonic
sensors do not detect objects such as trailer
tongues, bars, fences, posts or thin trees, or
an open (or opening) rear lid, which could
damage the vehicle.
●
Retrofitting of certain accessories to the
vehicle, such as a bicycle rack, may interfere
with the operation of the Park Assist system
and cause damage.
