System limits
Objects located above or below the detection
range of Active Parking Assist are not detected
when the parking space is being measured. They
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 circum‐
stances, 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 detec‐
tion 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.

space being measured inaccurately. Parking
