Active Parking Assist can assist you with an active
steering intervention and brake application during
parking and exiting the parking space.
Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a sub-
stitute for your attention to the surroundings. You
are always responsible for safe maneuvering, park-
ing and exiting a parking space. Make sure that no
persons, animals or objects etc. are in the path of
your vehicle.
Active Parking Assist is canceled in the following
cases, among others:
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated.

PARKTRONIC is deactivated for the rear area when
you have a trailer coupled up and establish an
electrical connection between your vehicle and the
trailer. Active Parking Assist is then not available.
Syst System limits em limits
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
maneuver is calculated, e.g. overhanging loads,
overhangs or loading ramps of trucks, or the boun-
daries of parking spaces. In some circumstances,
Active Parking Assist may therefore guide you into
the parking space prematurely.
& W W ARNING
ARNING 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 detec-
tion range, the following situations may arise:
Active Parking Assist may steer too early.

R
objects.
